Some of the most beautiful views! - This tour was awesome! We got a chance to experience some of the most beautiful views in Cape Town. I highly recommend it. My only tip is in the month of September while there bring a jacket or something warm as it can get cool and windy while on the tour.

Absolutely fabulous - Absolutely fabulous value under £20 for a 2 day ticket including a harbour and canal trip. The red line and blue line equally gave a good overview of Cape Town history. We also appreciated the humour. Well done Cape Town city tours, one of the best we have used.

Great overview way - I would highly recommend both the red and blue route yours. It is the easiest way to get a good overview of Cape Town. We rode the bus first all the way around the city then went back to the spots we found interesting. Only thing or location not seen by the bus is Bo-Kapp. But we walked there later. The tours were convenient and easy jump on and off.

Mavelous experience - Oh wow the hop on and off bus was amazing. Firstly we took the blue route it took us to different places while explaining the history behind each place. It wss over a 2 hour drive and you can acess the bus from a lot of pickup points, you have options and can even ride it over and over again as long as your ticket is for that fay. So we took a 2 days package whereby second day we took the red route and also accessed their boat with lovely staff members and intersting information I will recommend it over and over again.

Essential for exploring Cape Town - We booked hop-on hop off directly for several trips. The Price quality ratio is sensational and also our guided tours for example Cape of Good Hope or wine tour was sensational with a very good and experienced guide. We can only recommend the buses.

Great for seeing the interesting points in the city - Good Service, buses run every 20 minutes, audio guide in all languages. The only inconvenient thing is that the buses only run clockwise, so if you want to go to a stop first you have to do all day, which according to the line taken takes 1.5 hours or 2.5 hours
