Amazing staff and value for money - Amazing company and staff. Very easy and helpful way to get around. Went out of their way to make sure we arrived safely at each stop and great Value for money.

Brilliant service and drivers perfect - Fantastic service. Bus was ALWAYS on time if not early. The drivers really friendly and we felt in safe hands at all times. All trips and different buses we took over the trip were comfortable and warm. We enjoyed dropping other people off and looking at the different towns. We highly recommend this company. Best way to see Garden Route if you don’t want to drive. The app was easy to use and we had contact via what’s app if we needed anything. Whole trip was perfect. Thank you all.

Highly recommended if you don’t want to rent a car in SA - We had a great time with Bazbus on our south africa trip. They were so easy to communicate with, and always came to pick us up at our hostel and drop us of at our new hostel in the next town. So easy, especially here in SA when travelling without a car. Nice drivers and we met some friendly people in the bus along the way. Only downside was that they don’t offer services on some days, which made the planning slightly more complicated. Overall, I highly recommend bazbus if you don’t want to rent a car!

Women can travel alone with peace of mind! Be sure to take the Bazbus to the Garden Route! - I really recommend Bazbus for traveling the Garden Route! I was traveling alone as a woman, but I had no worries at all! I was worried because there were few reviews from users after COVID-19, but they are still operating! Until late April, they operated every day, but from late April, they reduced the number of services to 5 days a week in 2024. However, because it was the off-season, I was able to make a reservation the day before, and I was able to sit comfortably inside the car. There were times when I was alone, so I was grateful that they operated even with a small number of people! They also took time to take breaks on the way, such as at stylish bakeries and malls. The pickup in Cape Town was on time, and after that, they came to pick me up about an hour before the schedule. (It's OK because I prefer to travel early!) When I arrived at the accommodation, the driver saw me off until I entered the accommodation, so I felt safe even if I arrived after dark. It was door-to-door, so it was nice to be able to carry heavy water and food with me. It was easy to purchase online and change the schedule myself, and when I inquired by whatsapp, I received a quick reply and was polite, which was also nice. Many people only visit Cape Town, but the Garden Route is also wonderful, so I recommend taking the time to travel on the Bazbus! Stellenbosch, Hermanus, and Plettenberg Bay were particularly great!

A stress-free way to travel the Garden Route :) - We booked the BazBus Hop-on Hop-off tour very spontaneously without knowing what exactly to expect. During our 13-day trip, we were not only served with reliable service, but also with extraordinary friendliness and helpfulness. The drivers are in good contact with the hostels so we could always be sure when they arrived, which is very convenient. On the bus you always meet travelers you have already met, as well as the drivers who give you a warm welcome. The driver King Elvis (yes, Elvis is alive in SA) played us some German music as we were driving for the second time with him. BazBus was such a good time, we could sit back, relax and see everything we wanted to without the hassle of renting an own car. 100% recommend!!!

Use BAZBUS for your next Trip!! - I would definitely recommend using Bazbus! It's an easy way to travel long distances while sitting comfortable and enjoying the view. All drivers (especially King Elvis) are super nice, considerate and helpful. It's so much fun traveling with all of them and to meet new people
