V&A Harbour & Canal Cruise

Such a wonderful experience, as to know all about the history of the buildings and ships in the harbour. Price was well worth it to go as we even received discount when we bought our tickets online plus if you do both cruises: harbour and canal you even pay less. The cruise is for 30 minutes and well timed with all the info you receive. The atmosphere on the cruises is delighted with such friendly and helpful staff. We went just the right time in the morning and was not overcrowded, but when we came back there was queues of people waiting to do the cruises. I would suggest start early in the mornings, would love to do the sunset cruise as well as the Roben Island cruise in future visits. This experience is suited for everyone from families, couples even people travelling solo. All age groups will be interested in this journey. Just a day for fun in the sun, relaxing and listening to history of buildings and very famous people.

June CPT visit

I did the premium package and I loved everything! I am still nostalgic from the holiday, the beautiful locations, I go to CPT often and will bring my family too and the red bus will be a 'standard must do tour' each time when in CPT! I love the tour bus idea and will recommend to everyone.
