Really great experience of the city! - We took the hop on-hop off experience and completed the Peninsula and City tours. It was a spectacular experience! The views were amazing, the information about the city and its history informative and engaging, and the drive up to the cable car exhilarating from the top deck of the bus! I'd recommend this to locals and visitors to the Cape!

Cape Town Hop-on Hop-off Bus - The Hop-on Hop-off Bus Tour was ideal as the views in and around Cape Town are fantastic. We also took advantage of the Harbour Cruise and the Sunset Bus. We were delighted with all the locations the buses and boats went and the service providers were always very nice and helpful. This tour is highly recommended for those wishing to get an overall view and understanding of Cape Town.

Fab tours - I did both the red route and the blue route tours over 2 days. I did not do the optional cruise as I did not have time. The bus is so easy to navigate, which as a solo female traveller was great. I felt very safe and all the staff were extremely helpful. The team in the office at the Waterfront even charged my phone for me when I'd forgotten to bring my power bank! They were absolute stars!! I enjoyed both routes. There is more to see on the city route, and more commentary. But the views on the blue route are incredible. I'm really pleased I did both. Huge thanks to the HOHO team foe a great couple of days

Best way to view Cape Town - We bought the 2 day hop hop off, it was the best , I was able to spend as much time as I wanted @ different sights, and continued on. Bus frequent every 30 mins, so not a long wait. Best of all , the harbor cruise and sunset tour were included. Staff and driver very helpful. Price is very reasonable. I would recommend this option.

Great way to see Capetown - We had a very enjoyable 2 days discovering Capetown on the hop on hop off bus. It runs very regularly and has a great commentary whilst driving. The V&A waterfront was a more favourable stop to get on and off at rather than mid centre CBD which can be quite unsafe for visitors especially after hours as we found out. Our bus driver actually honked his horn after we got off and told us to get back on the bus at the last stop due to safety concerns. We would like to express our sincere gratitude for this. He deserves a shout out for looking after tourists in such a way in which he said he could actually have got in trouble for. We found all bus drivers over the 2 days all to be very helpful and friendly.

Mostly OK - 2 different routes available we only had time for 1. Tour around Cape Town at the start was mildly interesting but improved as we went more into the surrounding areas. Some stunning scenery was the highlight of the bus ride.
