Cape Town Must-Do experience

What an incredible experience. This bus tour was worth every cent from start to finish. The views were breathtaking. If you're looking for a memorable, scenic and informative experience this is an absolute must-do in Cape Town.

An easy and enjoyable way to see the highlights of Cape Town

I had a fantastic experience with City Sightseeing South Africa in Cape Town. It’s an excellent way to explore the city comfortably and at your own pace. The routes are well planned and cover all the main highlights, from the city center to stunning coastal areas. The hop-on hop-off system works very well and makes sightseeing easy and flexible. The buses are modern, clean, and offer great views from the upper deck. The audio guide is clear, informative, and available in multiple languages. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the service was well organized and punctual. A small tip: start early in the day and use the first loop as an overview before deciding where to stop longer. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cape Town, even if not for the first time.

Best hosting tool ever!!!

It was a best hosting tool I offered my guests from Johannesburg. They absolutely enjoyed. I am expecting more guests as the host of the year in my circle... thanks to City Sightseeing Cape Town. Administration issues were handled with highest professionalism I rarely experience... well done; you make CoCT the best ever🥳🥳🥳

Breathtaking views

My trip was fun although it was on a rainy day. I got to experience Capetown from different angles. I wished I had planned better to use my Hop on Hop off day ticket to my advantage but nevertheless it was great. I would highly advise you to get a ticket if you're in Capetown
