Excellent value. - We bought the 2 day ticket which was only R100 (about £5) more than the 1 day ticket. Really great value including both tours, a harbour cruise and the sunset bus which proved an excellent way to end our visit to Cape Town. The ticket staff and drivers were all friendly and helpful.

Excellent bus tours of Cape Town - We took both the Red Bus and Blue Bus tours of Cape Town from the Long Street Office and found them to be possibly the best tours we've ever taken. The commentary was clear and very informative, and was also made exciting by the variety of narrators - especially by the lively and amusing delivery of the main narrator. These bus tours gave us a gripping and memorable experience and, coupled with the free walking tours also provided which were excellent (especially Shirley's walking tour of Bo Kaap!) a great overview of the City and surrounding area. Very glad we took them and highly recommend them.

Fun experience for the whole family. - You can never go wrong with a City Sightseeing Tour. They have a few routes to choose from that is easy to navigate. Whether it is the Table Mountain, Hout Bay, Winelands or Constantia tours, each one offers a fun day meant to keep you busy and entertained the whole day.

Glimpse of heavel place! - This was my most memorable experience in Cape town! I cried during blue route with Red bus when driving by ocean! The audio files are playing good music with Africa references in between stories which are focusing more on interesting facts than on technical data. I won’t share all of these here just will tell one I remember and that is thatSouth Africa has lot of diamonds but these people, LOCAL people, are most satisfied with smile, good company and ice cold beer! Employees are sooo helpful, go above what is expected. They are genuinely interested in what you have to say! We did also sunset tour, druvers are so patient and remember every single passenger! Don’t forget to stop at Kirstenbosch garden! You will find out what as Africans would quote: biodiversity is everything! In between rides you will notice: always be kind or be kind bilbords and that is exactly the embodiment of South African native people. I cried like a rain when visiting District six museum…what was done must never be forgotten! I come from country where slavery was banned and before more civilized countries in Europe we had a law that every citizen is free so reading about forced moving and use of health justifications in order to justify what was done is more disturbing. Do a red tour also for good views on Table mountain. Canal cruise is very good when visiting Victoria and Alfred mall, as it is slow paced and goes through wonderful canal. I just love the spirits of all people in this company as well in Cape town and this tour makes you sense amazing landscapes in between stops. I was so amazed that I was just riding with my family and used other days without this ticket to visit places. It is better than renting a car as it doesn’t have a top above you so you enjoy 360 view!

Great value great service especially 2 day pass with boat ride - The 2 routes are both super. I barely waited any time for buses especially as other than visiting table mountain I wasn't too bothered which one as did both routes a couple of times. The 2 day pass with boat ride fantastic value. The staff extremely friendly and helpful. It's a no brainer for a economical and enjoyable way to see lots of Cape town and surrounding areas. Definitely recommend

Never disappoints for a great day out - Another great Saturday enjoying local tourism. As hubby's birthday treat, we used the Hop on Hop off bus to get around to enjoy various fun stops on the Peninsula & purple wine route for breakfast, lunch, wine tasting, dinner, ending off our day with a fantastic comedy show at Theatre on the Bay. Highly recommend the Hop on Hop off bus. Regular and on time, and the team are all super friendly.

Beautiful tours - I bought a two-day pass. The rides on the first day were nice. On the morning of the second day, I was robbed. The paper ticket was also stolen. Although I was able to show an electronic ticket and had paid for two days, I was not allowed to use the buses on the second day. After complaining by email, I received a day ticket for a later date and an apology.
