Relaxing Sightseeing Cruise - While staying at the Westin I took the hop-on hop-off canal cruise. It was very convenient because there was a stop next to the Westin. The cruise was about 25-30 minutes one way. It was a relaxing trip with nice views of the houses, apartments and hotels along the way. The narration was informative. This boat cruise is also a good way to get to the V&A Waterfront for shopping, restaurants and other activities. This is a good and inexpensive way to see another aspect of Cape Town.

Our trip was the best. - The Hop on Hop off bus was the best. The most memorable moment was the Sunset tour. Looking at Cape Town from the top of the mountains in the evening was beautiful especially after the light were on. We enjoyed our ride and will definitely go back again for more fun. The Harbour cruise was also great, we saw the seals.

Relax and chill - Great way to relax and take in the sights of the waterfront. The price is fair, and you get a good look all around the bay, including seeing the seals up close. An excellent way to just chill for half an hour

The bus is super worth it, the boat is a waste of time! - We love the Red Line because it allows you to get off and visit points of interest without a tour. The boat trip is completely unnecessary, considering that it only covers the canal or the coastal part of Porto

For older people - It was short and not exciting, my kids feel asleep it's for older people all that information really not for kids, and it's all about money
