Cape Town Adventure: Stunning Mountains, Beautiful Beaches, and Memorable Photos - I visited Cape Town and had an incredible time! The mountains, especially Table Mountain, were stunning, and the beaches like Clifton and Camps Bay were beautiful. We explored, relaxed, and took lots of amazing photos. Highly recommend!

First and definitely not last - Booked the day tour with optional cruise. My family members enjoyed every minute of it. They were in awe! It was their first time in Cape Town and seeing them take in the beauty and noticing details that most of us overlook was amazing.

Great trip and covers a ton of areas. - Very inexpensive way to travel around (especially a new city) and see different sights. Beautiful day to ride on the open air top of the bus. Felt very safe with great bus drivers. I loved the interesting commentary as we drove around.

Third time and still a treat - We did the tour to Constantia and then the purple wine route, coming back along Victoria road at Sunset. I live in Cape Town and everytime I go on the bus I am reminded what an awesome experience it is. I’ve taken my parents, colleagues and now friends along, and it is always a great success. Such an underrated activity, even as a local. Totally worth it.

A great way to explore the city of Cape Town - Really enjoyed the City Sightseeing bus experience! With my premium ticket I had access to the hop on and off bus route for 2 days, including a free harbour or canal cruise. A great way to explore the city of Cape Town, the added guidance on the bus with some history on the sights provides some great insights!

Good way to see Cape Town - The Hop-on Hop-off bus is a great way to see Cape Town, but if you plan to go to Tabletop Mountain, you should be on the first bus, or plan to be in a long line. The bus has many stops where it is worth to hop off and take the next bus.

Team building with a twist.... - Used the Red City Hop on / Hop off tour as part of an "Amazing Race" team building exercise and it turned out perfect! The teams thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the stops along the route made the ideas for the race easier and transport convenient! Definitely an activity business can incorporate for team building!!

I had not much time - so it was PERFECT for me - I was in Cape Town for Business with not much time on my hand for sight seeing. The Hop on Hop off tour was just perfect. I did both lines (red and blue) with not much getting off due to limited time. I saw a lot and thanks to the recording on the bus I learned so much about South Africa and Cape Town. If I ever come back on a real vacation with more time, I will do the tour again, but get off everywhere. I can recommend to everybody.

Red Line Tour - great for a first-time visitor to Cape Town - We took the Red Line Tour of the city. It was a great way to get an orientation of the Cape Town Area. We got on at their office location downtown. We got off at the Waterfront for lunch, and then hopped back on to get back to our original starting location. I would recommend this for a first time visitor.
