A Must-Do Experience: Cape Town's Red and Blue Bus Tours! Our recent sightseeing adventure on Cape Town's iconic Red Bus and Blue Bus routes, waswithout a doubt, the highlight of our trip. It was a truly pleasant and incredibly comprehensive way for the two of us to experience the breathtaking beauty and dynamic atmosphere of the Mother City. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to see the best of Cape Town! The convenience of the dual routes—the city-focused Red Route and the stunning coastal Blue Route—allowed us to cover an impressive amount of ground. We loved the flexibility of the hop-on, hop-off system, which let us tailor the day to our interests. From the bustling activity of the harbor trips and the architectural history explored through the city route, every segment offered something new. The bus takes you right to the base of the magnificent Table Mountain, providing easy access to the Table Mountain Cable Car—a truly unforgettable detour. The Blue Route showcased Cape Town’s natural treasures perfectly. The stop at Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden was a peaceful and beautiful interlude. Following the coast, the trip to charming Hout Bay offered incredible views. Cruising along the scenic drives of Camps Bay and Sea Point was just spectacular, with the turquoise water contrasting beautifully against the mountain backdrop. The commentary was informative, and the sheer beauty of the scenery at every turn was astonishing. If you want to see the real, beautiful Cape Town without the hassle of driving, these bus tours are essential. Highly recommended!

Excellent - bought a 2 day ticket & worked a treat. 3 loops to travel - we didn't do the short wine loop. The ticket included a 30 min harbour cruise (excellent) & an evening sunset bus tour. Organisation & frequency were great & buses were in good condition with a well synced commentary. Easily accessed from up town or waterfront incl cruise terminal Also offers a variety of other tours to choose from with associated discounts.

We Absolutely Loved It! This was the perfect solution for seeing as much as possible in a short time! We purchased the Premium 2-Day Package, and it was absolutely worth it. The routes are very well-planned, with stops located strategically near key attractions — we didn’t even need to use Uber! The buses have free Wi-Fi, which was a great bonus, and many stops were conveniently close to our hotel. The Premium package includes all routes, plus a boat ride and a sunset tour. The sunset tour follows a completely different route, ending at Signal Hill, where you can enjoy one of the most breathtaking sunsets you’ll ever see. The staff were professional, friendly, and helpful throughout the experience. Keep in mind that Cape Town weather can be unpredictable, so bring a light sweater for the wind, as well as a hat and sunglasses if you plan to sit on the top deck. You really get a lot for your money. I recommend buying directly from their website — it’s usually cheaper, and the site also offers live bus tracking, which is super convenient.

A must do. Office is strategically located. Staff are very helpful - I appreciate Zizipho for her time and guidance. I love that they kept to time and if you were not interested in a chosen option - you could expect another bus in 20 minutes. A good means to get explore the whole city in 2 to 3 days even a boat ride and experienced tour guides via the audio system. Lovely!

Was a enjoyable experience to be able to use this service around Capetown. Honestly to get to see all the best spots around and be able to jump on a bus that comes past every couple minutes is great. Worth the money. Just the only downside is some of the route change overs can be confusing. Also at the end of the day when everyone needs to go home the bus can get packed, some of the stops will have incredibly drunk people getting on. Just be prepared for that but maybe also experience being one of the drunk people going home lol. Also just a small thing is the bus gets to some points pretty late, end up at table mountain at the worst busiest time. It's not perfect but it is a great way to see the whole of Capetown
