Great value, professional done, regular. - Excellent value on the 5 day pass - around £90 including 5 days HOHO (blue, red and purple wine bus), frequent, 20 mins most, and often more on the areas where blue and red converge, and not full (although bear in mind it is Autumn now). 80 attractions, although you won't do them all (or want to do them all) and you would have to be really on it to get the full value. Best for us was Groot Constantia, table mountain, sunset tour, sunset cruise, we also availed of the free lunches which were great. Bear in mind that the loops are quite large (over 2 hours for the blue, over an hour for the red). Good recorded commentary in multiple languages. Staff lovely and helpful, loos in the main office in V & A. In 5 days the equivalent would have cost us over £200. Helpful booklet. We bought ours in advance and downloaded and printed, only to find that only the best scanners could cope with the paper copy, but we had a phone copy of the barcodes, and this worked fine. Safe place to see things.

Wonderful views and comfortable ride - We were most impressed with the excellent narratiion and routes the bus took. The weather the day we went was outstanding and the views around Cape Town were superb. Even got to go up Table Mountain for the iconic views of the city and Robben Island

Worth the Purchase - I recommend getting a City Pass. It covers admission into so many things such as the cable car up Table Mountain. It gets you discounts on other things such as a guided wine region tour. When you get your hop on hop off (HOHO) bus ticket, you are given some headphones to keep which you plug into the jack at your seat and it narrates the route. You may sit outdoors up top or indoors down below. It was a joy just taking the blue route all the way around. The drive is very scenic and if you see something you wanna check out, simply hop off. Note: If you want to get the discount when making a booking after you already purchased your pass you would need to make that booking in person at one of the City Pass help desks which is on the HOHO route anyway. It's easy and the staff are very helpful.

A must do - This was such a good experience, reliable service and friendly staff that got us everywhere we wanted to be. We probably didn't get full value out of ticket as we were very tired after an overnight flight so didn't do the sunset cruise as planned on Day one but we thoroughly enjoyed everything we did, especially the purple wine bus route. A great way to see the city in a short time.

Good value for money - This was a god send and a great way to.see the city. Just a shame that the bus only goes one way round. We were lucky that our hotel wad just a couple of minutes walk from one of the stops. The guy on at the cape wheel couldn't get our passes to scan, so went on a bit of a wild goose chase to see what the problem was, but they were scanning and working fine everywhere else. I was also surprised to find they didn't gain entry to the botanical garden, so our visit here was an extra expense. We visited a lot of sights and as we had the premium pass went on the shark dive too (though we had to pay extra for the transportation). While it's definitely a worthwhile expense it could be made better by having the buses run both directions and have them run a little later into the evening. All of the bus drivers were brilliant very friendly and helpful as were the staff in the Information offices.

After it was explained to me how it worked, and after I found out where it all would start it was a very good tour. - Going around the Cape of Good Hope. The set up of get on the bus get off the bus get on the bus off the bus was very confusing, but the girl working at the ticket counter very carefully told me everything and wrote it out what she recommended the first day I came back the second day she wanted to know how it was. She wrote out again what I should definitely see, she took a lot of time and patience. A good representative of the company. I the company three different times asking where I would meet the bus they never responded. It was only because of Uber drivers that I found the big red bus.

All things considered, not all this savings. - The promises and offers of the city pass are many, it's a shame that for participating partners, the customer with the city pass is seen as second class. Not all of course, but many. Sin… And be careful, many try and offer less than you deserve.

Good purchase but app completes once you activate and tickets lost - This would be 5 stars, but after day 1 the app says that my trip is complete. I would expect it to be in the app for the 5 days. It also deleted the ticket from my apple wallet. Luckily I took a photo of the tickets so could still use them. Obviously there is an issue with the app as all the trips need the barcode from the tickets and once it is marked as complete you are unable to see the tickets. Viator you to fix your application as people could lose money and not use you if these problems carry on.
