I loved every second of being in that bus - We did the sightseeing which included the Table Mountain cableway. Being on the bus was the most exciting experience, the information shared about the city was captivating and was fun to listen to as there were jokes thrown in between the guided tour. Thank you for such an amazing experience, what better is there to learn about the history of the city besides the city sightseeing red bus.

Shipping to be made - The bus to tour the city with explanations in all languages is very practical and nice with its opening roof. You get off at any stop and get back on in the same way. We feel free and at the same time supported and advised. He took us to Table Mountain, where the view is extraordinary! Because of the wind, we were not able to use the cable car, so the bus's after-sales service helped us get a refund. They are very accommodating, it's great.

Capepoint and Boulders beach tour - Booked the ticket online, Love that they stick to the pick up time, bus is air conditioned, enough leg room and have charging ports. It's suppose to have wifi, but most of the trip it doesn't. The tour guide Brahm was knowledgeable and funny. They also sell water on the bus. Take some snacks with it's a long ride.

Clean and comfortable buses - Easy to find, check in, and ride the buses. Clean and comfortable. Narration was clear and relevant to what we were seeing. Options to sit in the shade or sun. Lots of stops and buses running reasonably on time. Easy way to see so much and learn about the cultural aspects of Cape Town.

Sunday cruise with all the views - Took my niece and cousin on the red bus for the 1st time, we did the mini peninsular route and they absolutely loved it. The drivers were friendly and cruised at the perfect speed. I will definitely be trying their other routes as well. Keep up the good work guys 👍😁
