An excellent choice - Excelente opção para turistas terem noção da cidade e arredores, principalmente quem tem poucos dias de viagem. Serviço de qualidade com equipe prestativa, opção de várias rotas para escolher confome interesse e tradução em várias línguas. Otimiza tempo, viaja com segurança e garante uma incrível visão do topo do ônibus. Vale a pena!😃 An excellent choice for tourists to get a sense of the city and its surroundings, especially for those with limited travel time. Quality service with a helpful team, multiple route options to choose from based on interest, and translations available in various languages. Saves time, travels safely, and provides an incredible view from the top of the bus. Definitely worth it!😃

Canadians in Cape Town - Travelled the Red and the Blue Route and enjoyed the city and learning about the city. It is great to have some audio that provides some details of the sites as you pass by them. The ability to hop off and tour around adds to the experience. Enjoyed the harbour cruise that came with the 2-day pass. Good value and a great way to see the city of Cape Town.

Good value - Friendly staff and frequent buses.You should consider renting/selling cushions as seats can be quite hard after an hour or so on board !

The perfect introduction to Cape Town — easy and inexpensive - We took the City Sightseeing hop-on, hop-off bus (red route) on our first day in Cape Town to get an overview of the city. The sweeping views from the top of the bus were spectacular, especially along the water. We got off at the V&A waterfront to ride the Cape Wheel and then hopped on the bus again to continue the tour. So easy, and very inexpensive! You get headphones along with your ticket and can plug them into a box by your seat to hear a recording of interesting facts about the places you're seeing. Just be aware that you'll need to keep a tight grip on your hat, as it's very windy up there, especially by the water.

Great for sightseeing - It was great! Our driver was friendly, professional and helpful. He advised us about different routes, times and took time to answer my questions. Bus was clean and earphones worked well for extra information and details. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to finish red and blue but would certainly recommend for sightseeing.

Wine tasting and great scenery - I took the Blue line, the scenery was awesome. I enjoyed the wine tour and Camp Point stops. I did a wine tasting and the wines were wonderful. Many places to eat near Camp Point and the beach was very nice with views of the backside of Table Mountain

Fairly Good - I had issues getting the code on my phone and I was disappointed that Viator wasn’t very helpful or responsive to my queries. The bus rides were good however, not sure if it’s worth the money as we couldn’t use it a lot. They should continue the buses till at least 9pm.
