Excellent way of seeing Cape Town over 2 days - Got 2 day premium ticket which was great value for money. Day 1 went on blue route and stopped off at Groot Constantia vineyard for wine tasting. We then carried on along the blue route which in total took around 6 hours. Day 2 we went on the included harbour cruise which was very informative. We then took the red route so that we could connect with the Urban Safari bus and the walking tour of Bo Kaap which were included in the ticket price.

Perfect way to see Cape Town - We travel alot around the world and always appreciate a well done HoHo bus, this one was excellent. The buses are in great shape, come in a very regular cadence, and the audio system works well. The stops are great, it's easy to change lines, and you get to see so much beautiful scenery. It was a great way to get to and from Table Mountain and then continue exploring. Recommend getting off in Camps Bay for lunch! We chose the multi-day ticket that included the Harbor & Marina boat tours from the V&A waterfront, an excellent value. The weather changes quickly and some areas are very windy, so dress accordingly and enjoy Cape Town!

Life-changing experience! - The LaGuGu tour with Thobela and Luyolo was deeply moving, fascinating, safe, and fun! It was amazing to drive away from downtown Cape Town and into the history of apartheid in South Africa. The driver, Thobela, had a big personality, explaining what we were seeing very clearly and adding his sense of humor to the fun of the experience. Luyolo then told us the brief history of Langa and walked us around the township, pointing out the different levels of living, letting us peek into a preschool, and reinforcing the sense of community as he said hello and waved to many residents. We all felt safe, and the residents, especially the children, were welcoming. Luyolo was smart, knowledgeable, and explained everything so well, answering questions with thoughtful responses. He deserves to go to university! All in all, it is a tour that my husband and I will always remember as a window into SA history and a tribute to the resilience of the black community. Don't miss out!

Super easy. - It is super arranged with getting on and off. Changing routes is also easy. And the audio tour in your own language is a valuable addition.

All the popular stops - The red route covers the majority of stops people would want to visit in Cape Town. The audio is informative and interesting. Very convenient that it stops at Table Mountain as well.

Cape Town easy and casual - We would already be taken directly from the cruise terminal by bus to the first stop of the Hop On Hop Off. The staff was very friendly, the buses in very good condition.

Amazing experience! - The bus drivers were so friendly and helpful, which made everything even better. We could truly relax and just enjoy the journey without any stress. And the two-day option is such great value for money — definitely an affordable way to explore and make the most of it!

Great day on the Blue route - Had a wonderful day on the Blue peninsula route. Stopped for fish and chips in Hout Bay and for a swim in Camps Bay. Enjoyed the commentary and just wanted to go around again! Compares well to the standard of other Red bus tours we have done in the UK and Barcelona.

Enjoyable bus trips - Great value for money. 2 route with a couple of guided walks. The harbour trip was very enjoyable & really recommend the Sunset trip. We went to Signal Hill & saw the sun set over the sea. The only thing I would say is we booked the bus for 2 days but didn’t realise that they had to be consecutive. Still 5⭐️
