I've done both the red and blue route. They are a great way to relax and learn more about this great city. I highly recommend a day on either one.

I would recommend both the red and the blue lines and if you get an early bus you can easily do both in a day and have time to get off at a few stops or go for the two day pass and do one tour each day. I did the tours on my own and they were totally fine... More

We used this hop on hop off style sight seeing bus recently and can recommend it. If you are new to a city it is a great way of getting your bearings and learning about the attractions on offer. We purchased a two day pass on the bus and for both routes, which gave us a free night tour, canal... More

We enjoyed both the red and blue tours, especially from the upstairs. The recorded commentary was quite good too. The red tour around the inner city can be slow, but the blue route was very diverse. We stopped at the township where we did a tour with a guide, and that was an eye-opener. Note these buses have designated stops,... More

We took the topless double decker bus tour and found it well worth the money. At around £10 a day for an adult ticket you got a full tour of the city with complimentary headphones that plug in to provide running comentry as you drive along. Hop on and off at any of the stops and the ticket is valid... More

On a rainy summerday I took a half day tour of Cape Town and saw most of the sights.My driver was a local whose knowledge was firsthand. As we drove along the coast we had the added benefit of seeing a mama whale and her baby. Be aware that there is traffic that can affect the tour timing. The visit... More

We jumped on the Hop On, Hop Off Doubledecker bus for a day of sightseeing. It was a beautiful day and the best way to see the city. It was convenient and made our time in Cape Town very productive and easy. There's so much to do and see! Cape Town is an incredible city and we plan on returning... More

We had pre-booked this tour and the weather when we started off was pleasant if a little cool. As we progressed the weather worsened and we had to retreat inside the bus. Having said all that, we did enjoy the experience. Booking is straightforward and the tour was well organised and informative. It was easy to hop on and off... More

It is amazing. The best way to reach Table Mountain's base. You can run all day long with a ticket. You should do it on the first day in cape.
