I highly recommend the Hop on Hop off bus experience for anyone's first day in Cape Town - it's great value for money. There are 2 routes (City and Nature/Views) which help you get your bearings and the informative audio tape provides a good overview of Cape Town's history.

Took the Blue line that gave us the broadest bee of the peninsula and highlights such as the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, the birds and monkey sanctuary, winery, and Waterfront. Beautiful drive with easy on and off. Best way to get a a look at this gorgeous city.

It was great that we could get on and off and spend as much time as we wanted at each of the stops. It didn't however explain when purchasing the tickets that what we had bought allowed us to go on all 3 of the routes on that day which was then a surprise for us. As a result of this we were unsure of how the whole thing works, being better at paper copies of things rather than technology it was not that clear for us and the start of the trip was rather confusing, however the driver that did stop at the stop we started from explained it all and we then had a good day out.

Explore at your own speed with 1-day unlimited hop-on hop-off bus pass, giving you all-access freedom to see Cape Town your way.

Hit up the three routes dotted with 21+ stops, where buses swing by every 20-30 mins, so you’re always a hop away from your next stop.

The two walking tours of the city’s historic sites and Bo-Kaap’s colored homes and cobblestoned streets is a perfect way to get personal with the city.

Cruise in style on open-top double-deckers with audio guides in 15 languages for a comfortable and info-packed journey.

Get off at must-visit spots like the Clock Tower, Table Mountain Aerial Cableway, and the bustling V&A Waterfront, packed with shops and eateries.
