A nice way to see some of the sights in Durban. The office on the beachfront should be better sign-posted, and have bold signage on the back of the building too, so it is easily identifiable from all sides. The booking system is not great. You have to queue in advance, hope to get seats and pay in person just before the bus leaves: first come, first served. If you’ve traveled some distance to do this, your trip may be in vain. We managed to get seats at the last minute for the 3pm tour. The website only mentions 2 tours, 9am and 1pm. The tour lasted about 2 hours, with a mall stop, and the Cube view site stop. Sound system better downstairs. Tour guide knowledgeable but speaks fast and difficult to follow. Bus seats not comfortable. I don't know if Durban Tourism will see this but there is lots of room for improvement, especially wrt booking (e.g. online, in advance, correct info on website, etc.)

Whether a solo trip or company it’s still a great way to get a small taste of Durban if you’re a visitor or a local …cruise the beach front/ promenade and harbour if you’re lucky you might even sight a ship cruising in or docked at the terminal , historic buildings with rich history to them even if some are dilapidated , ins and outs of buzzing markets … not everything is rosy , areas of chaos&unpleasant smells but overall not a bad ride Few tips: hot day take a hat &sun block Durban sun don’t care Don’t over over hydrate(it’s a 2-3hr ride with 1 mall stop) The tour guides currently using a speaker box so sound is muffled at times so best you sit in front or at the bottom if your hearing is toned
