Our trip was the best. - The Hop on Hop off bus was the best. The most memorable moment was the Sunset tour. Looking at Cape Town from the top of the mountains in the evening was beautiful especially after the light were on. We enjoyed our ride and will definitely go back again for more fun. The Harbour cruise was also great, we saw the seals.

Relax and chill - Great way to relax and take in the sights of the waterfront. The price is fair, and you get a good look all around the bay, including seeing the seals up close. An excellent way to just chill for half an hour
