Traveler reviews
Better organized than any...
Better organized than any other hop on bus I've used in other cities! There's a tracker website to see how soon buses will arrive, and staff at the office locations help with any questions you have. At some locations there's a staff person at the bus stops to help out.
A good choice for exploring Cape Town
We had wonderful weather and were able to really enjoy the trip with the deck open. I can highly recommend the red bus tour 👍
Excellent value for money.
Excellent value for money and a great way to see the area. We booked the two day premium experience and took both the red and blue routes. The red route took us up to Signal hill as the cable car was closed for maintenance and we had fabulous views across the city. Worth having a stop here for 20 mins and walking around this point before heading off to Camps bay for a walk along the beach and views of the ocean. Heading back to the main terminal at Victoria and Alfred and chance to shop in the waterfront. Blue route is the Peninsula which takes in the botanical gardens and then around Hout Bay before joining the red route back to the main terminal. Driving was good, information at stop off points about the timetable was well posted and the routes easy to navigate and plan. Definitely worth the trip if you have only got a few days to see Cape Town,
Bus tour
Lovely day on the bus tour, driver friendly and drove very well
Well worth the money
Great way to see the island. Can change to the purple bus for the wine region - Groot Constantia was well worth the visit. Would recommend the botanical gardens too
