We had pre-booked this tour and the weather when we started off was pleasant if a little cool. As we progressed the weather worsened and we had to retreat inside the bus. Having said all that, we did enjoy the experience. Booking is straightforward and the tour was well organised and informative. It was easy to hop on and off... More

It is amazing. The best way to reach Table Mountain's base. You can run all day long with a ticket. You should do it on the first day in cape.

We decided to view Cape Town by helicopter - totally stunning. Several companies on the Waterfront offer this service, we were able to book a four-seater just for the two of us at a negotiated price.

Very easy and convenient way to see all of Cape Town. Just hop on the red double-decker bus at one of the stops along the route & buy a ticket from the driver. There are headphones available to listen to the tour in a dozen languages. You can hop off at one of the stops to explore & hop back... More

Everyone told us the hop on hop off bus was the best way to see Cape Town and after having done it I couldnt agree more! It is wonderful being able to see all the main attractions and get off the bus at any one of the stops where you want to explore further. I also have to mention how... More

The hop on-hop off bus was a fanstastic way to see and learn about Cape Town (you are given headphones to plug into your seat for a narrated tour) and enjoy the spectacular scenery. Since we didn't have a car this allowed us to see so many different parts of the city and talk to other travelers about there trip... More

We decided to take one of these tour as soon as we arrived in Cape Town so that we could orient ourselves for the rest of our stay. There are two tours - the red and the blue. The red is the shorter of the two focussing mainly on Cape Town. There's a drop off at Table Mountain which is... More

If not just to orientate yourself, I find that this is the best and cheapest way to get a feel for the city.

It was interesting to see the changes in the CBD after about 15 years. Some of them good (we felt very safe during our walking tour), but some of them sad. But it is still a beautiful city with the best food on offer!

the best way to get an insight into the layout of cape town.When I directly compare it to a similar tour I did recently in Dubai,this is incredible value for money and set me up for my orientation and I could plan what I wanted to visit on the remainder of my stay.
