The bus is an excellent way to see Cape Town. We jumped on at the cable way and stopped of in Camps Bay. The driver was kind enough to stop at various places for photos. We ended at the V & A Waterfront. I would definitely recommend this to everyone.

This was a great way to experience Cape Town. The optional walking tour was a huge bonus. The narrative that accompanies the bus drive is very informative, even our friend, who is a South African native and spent a lot of time in Cape Town, learned things she didn't know on this tour.

City tour was excellent! The audio was very informative. A lot of historical background was given for several monuments. The free wifi was a bonus. Staff are very helpful and will give guidance with a smile. My experience on Long Street and Bo Kaap was very enjoyable. So was the Table Mountain cable experience. Thank you so much

It was a great experience as it provided us with the opportunity to see all the sights Capetown has to offer. We stayed on the bus for the entire route to assess where we would like to explore. Went for round 2 and got off at Camps Bay and spent an hour or so there on foot before hopping back on. Ideal way to familiarise yourself with a city!

My wife and I enjoyed our HO/HO blue route tour around Cape Town. It gave us the opportunity to see other areas around Cape Town. We only wish we had more time to make use of the bus tours.
