About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- pompominsf0 contributionsDo NOT Hesitate to book….Our lovely guide T was fabulous. Informative and friendly. The trip was incredibly good value . There was a breakfast snack and then lunch was a number of salad fixings and rolls if you liked. It was more than the usual sandwich you get. The exhibition inside the park where we had lunch was amazing. Overall a great day outWritten December 10, 2024
- twojollywheelers0 contributionsBrilliant day outWe had a brilliant day out with Mike and Bobby exploring the beautiful Cape Peninsula, everything was so well organised. The scenery was amazing and Mike gave us a great commentary on everything we saw. Just the right amount of time at each of the stops. It was nice to get the chance to stretch our legs at CapePoint walking up to the lighthouse and then walking down to Cape Hope. As well as all the penguins at Boulders Rock we also saw several ostriches, a baboon and some eland during the walk. Definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the area around Cape Town.Written December 1, 2024
- Culture7241910 contributionsAlways on the right way with Bazbus guides!Thx Mike & Bobby for being such good guides, giving us much information on the tour & taking care of us. It was exhilarating spending the day with you. We’ll be back🙋🏽♀️🌻Written November 30, 2024
- S4977SAannem0 contributionsDay sightseeing tripFantastic trip. Togeda and Brian really looked after us and we loved the seals, penguins and the Cape. Definitely recommend this trip to everyone.Written November 30, 2024
- Lilie85440 contributionsGreat day discovering the peninsulaGreat day discovering the peninsula. Mike and Mike were fantastic. Very well organised and ready to share their knowledge about the region and its history. Smooth drive with animal sightings. Loved the scenic walks on the cape.Written November 28, 2024
- 216oguzk0 contributionsGreat tour!We had a fantastic day together with Mike (our guide) and Bobby (our driver). Mike was very friendly and knowledgeable. Mike and Bobby made sure to stop at different spots on the way so we could enjoy either the scenery or different animals that showed up in our way. We got to see a lot in one day without the schedule feeling packed. Thank you for the experience!Written November 27, 2024
- RTGJ0 contributionsMY CAPE PENINSULA TOURThis was a spectacular tour. Mike was incredibly informative and was a master of all of the subjects he addressed from wildlife to history to plant life. The views were incredible. People whom live in or visit this part of South Africa are most fortunate. Thank you to Bobby for the safe driving throughout, as there were some challenging places he drove. I would recommend this tour to all who visit South Africa.Written November 26, 2024
- S2823BNalexandreb0 contributionsI paid and did not receive the service. Do not trust themI paid and did not receive the service. I scheduled it through the TripAdvisor app for a date and time that the company said was available. After I paid USD 177.00, they called to say that they could not take me. They said that I should cancel so that they could refund my payment. The amount was not returned to my card. I have everything recorded in the conversations on the platform. Do not trust them.Written November 26, 2024
- D5336YXlizj0 contributionsBucket List Ticked: Cape of Good Hope, Seals, Hyrax and Penguins!Had an amazing time with girlfriends on this Bazbus day trip. Pick up and drop off were prompt and the entire process ran smoothly. Our guide, Leon, was friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. Bobby, the driver, was an absolute saint with one of my friends whose fear of heights kicked in on a hike at the Cape. The amount of territory we covered in the day was incredible: Hout Bay for the seals, Simons Town for the Penguins and the Cape Reserve. Tip: include the entrance fees with your bookings. You'll save time and your guide will handle everything without you standing in line for admissions. Overall, enthusiastically recommend!Written November 24, 2024

Baz Bus - most convenient way to travel in South Africa.
We used BasBuz for the second time on our extended stays in South Africa.
Whether you choose the tours or to travel the garden route you will experience excellent service, from trip planning at the office to the drivers on the road.
We were always well looked after, picked up from one accommodation and dropped off at another. They also stop for a coffee break.
We find this the most convenient way to travel, as you don’t need a car since tours can be arranged from your accommodation,
They also offer choice of accommodation stops depending on your budgets, backpacker, flashpacker or hotels.
The buses are 13 seater, so you might want to book your seat ahead as it was always full when we use them.
We also met lots of other interesting travellers on our journey.

I took Bazbus for 1 week and it was wonderful !! It was very easy to travel and the service always answer if you have a question. It’s very fast.
My driver was Brian and it’s was amazing and so kind !! I really recommend traveling with Bazbus if you don't want to drive, and if you're lucky enough to have Brian as your driver, it's a great ride!

An excellent chance to explore the garden route. Only one time, the bus was nearly full, but mostly you can use the two seats in a row. The drivers were all friendly and helpful, I could even arrange flexible drop-off locations. I'm sure I will do this again when I come back to SA.

I was traveling by myself and that kind of travel was just perfect for me. They bring you to the hostel and pick you up from there. If there is any problem there are very helpful and always find a solution. It was easy to contact them with any questions. I was very happy about the friendly driver they always make me feel comfortable.
Especially King Elvis, Brian and Mr. M Thanks for all the driving I stopped on all of the stops except George and Swellendam.
T really recommend highly.
Even I was mostly the only person in the bus, but that was because of the time I traveled. But anyway I always had nice talks to the driver :-) A big thanks also to Stacey, she always helped me :-)
BAZ Bus you are amazing and make travel easier!
Thanks a lot,

We wanted to visit the garden road, and Bazbus was amazing for us. The system of hop up whenever we want what all we were looking for. All the drivers were cool. Big up to M. Mawanda for the big part of trip.
I recommend at 100% this company to visit easily the garden road.

The rides were on time and efficient. It’s a great way to get along the Garden Route especially solo female travel. It’s a good way to meet people and have a bit of safety with door to door service. I did stay at different places that aren’t listed on the places you can stay- just make your way to a pick up! Drivers were happy and helpful. Brian was my driver most of the time and he was friendly and professional. I would highly recommend the Baz Bus. Good experience for overall.

It’s also the perfect way to get in contact with other travelers on your way to your next destination!

Great experience using Bazbus to skirt the garden route from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town. They even organised a separate shuttle for us between Jeffery's Bay and Knysna on a day they were not operating. Would highly recommend as reliable and safe transport along this route.

Really great way to travel along the Garden Route. Easy to plan and book the bus, but also super easy to change your schedule.
As 2 female travellers we felt very safe, the drivers escorted us into our hostels and even waited until we checked in to ensure everything was sorted.
No major delays, the one time we were going to be late arriving (and had an activity booked at the destination) they called ahead and asked the company to wait for us.

Mir ist nicht klar, wie lange ich mir für dieses hop-on hop-off Erlebnis Zeit lassen kann, 10 Tage, 1 Monat, 3 Monate? Also wie lange ist das Ticket gültig?
