5.00What a wonderful experience to share with my kids as a family, they enjoyed the birds and monkey stop, Hout Bay was amazing and Camps Bay the stroll at the beach.
Two day ticket is worth it

5.00Many staff at bus stops to answer questions, they are very professional and keep people moving in an orderly fashion. the company is very well organised ( better than some countries i have been to). Frequency of bus is very good, i didn’t have to wait long for the next bus. Driver of the sunset tour was great - because it was windy at Signal Hill, he let people onto the bus to shelter from the cold. I have no hesitation in recommending this hop on hop off service.
Great tour

A good hop on/off bus for a change

5.00This 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
It was so beautiful we...

One of the better Hop on Hop Off

5.00This 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
