A beautiful mother city Cape Town. There is a lot to experience. Our Heritage, History of South Africa, the ocean itself, tranquility everyday. Delicious food at the restaurants. Shopping till late at night. The list is endless. I will definitely come back. I had a great vacation with my kids

This service was a pleasant change to many other hop on/off services in that you could actually get onto another bus once you had hopped off. All the other ones we have tried in Europe are hopeless with the services always over sold

This seemed closed to the package we brought which was the Two Day ticket with optional sunset tour and harbour cruise. I've commented separately on the sunset trip and over the two days due to high winds the harbour cruise was not operating - BUT however the actual Hop on Hop Off tours we thought were very good - The red route Was shorter in time than we may have thought and we were glad we slightly changed our planning and got off the red route ( our first bus day or in reality half day) at Camps Bay for an explore because if we had left to next day when we did the blue route and wanted to take stops at Mount Nelson Hotel for a look and then spend time at Kirstenbosch Gardens we would have run out of time as that route is quite long. In summary thoroughly enjoyed these Hop On Hop off Tours one fo the best we have come across

Lovely experience, details information on the sights and wonders, some jokes here and there made the ride so wonderful.

We especially liked the stop to at the botanical gardens and the wine tour at the Groot Constantia vineyard. Don’t forget your sunscreen and tie your hat securely as my husband lost his cap.

We always do a Hop on Hop off when available. They are a great way to learn about the destination and also get to any of the sights you want to see. We also did this back in 2023, when we last visited Cape Town. We booked the 2 day one which also included a harbour or canal boat trip. Excellent value for money and the frequency of the buses were great.

Hop on hop off is a great way to see the city and the harbour cruise was informative. Both drivers we had were helpful and had a great sense of humour

This is a real good way to see the Cape Town area. We only had one day free, but managed to do both lines, took the whole day. You can see so much, covered a huge amount from the City Centre, up to Table Mountain and round the coast. Very reasonably priced, for a day ticket that I purchased online. There are plenty of buses, one comes along every 20 minutes approx., so you never have to wait long. The commentary was superb, informative and humorous so definitely not boring. The buses had plenty of people on, but we didn't struggle to get an upstairs, open air seat. We took a couple of breaks for coffee and lunch on the coast on the route, which is very easy to do.

It was our first time experience and it was so lovely and enjoyable. We learn a lot about history from the audio that we were listening to. There was no noise in the bus and everyone was sitting down. The driver welcome us so well and his driving was so cool, we enjoyed seeing the beauty of Cape town. I wish to do it again in future together with my family
