The service is excellent. The drive is interesting and we felt comfortable to hop off at the stopping points. We did not wait long for the bus to pick us up again. The information given, is interesting and relevant. We will do the other routes as well as the wine tours when we visit again. We can highly recommend it.

Since we are visiting Cape Town for the first time it made our trip easier. The routes are thoughtfully planned, covering major highlights such as Table Mountain, Camps Bay, the V&A Waterfront, and the historic city center. What really stands out is the flexibility—you can get off whenever something catches your eye and continue later without feeling rushed. The audio guide is informative and engaging, offering helpful context about Cape Town’s history, culture, and hidden gems. The buses are clean, well-maintained, and run frequently, which makes planning your day stress-free. Sitting on the upper deck with panoramic views of the coastline and mountains is an experience in itself. Overall, it’s great value for money and a relaxed, scenic way to discover Cape Town at your own pace. Thank you team!

A great trip to take. I followed the blue line that went behind Table Mountain. But you can also choose the red line through the city center. At some stops, you can switch from red to blue. Through the headphones, you can listen to music and commentary about the special places in Cape Town and the surrounding area. An added bonus is that you can get off at any stop to spend some time and catch one of the next buses. We got off at Camps Bay for an afternoon on the nicest beach around Cape Town.
