The tour routes explore the city itself, the coastal peninsula, the Franschhoek wine lands, the harbour, Cape Point, the Constantia wine route and many many more! Their packages include full-day guided tours, day tours and multicultural township experiences.

We recently took a City Sightseeing that started at the popular V&A Waterfront and took us through the city centre past some of the most iconic streets and landmarks. We hopped off at the Table Mountain cable car to take in the amazing view of the city and visit the top of Table Mountain. After we had surveyed the top of the mountain and taken in the stunning views we headed back down in time to catch the next bus. This route then took us along the famous Camps Bay beach and Sea Point promenade before hopping off at our original destination. An immensely enjoyable day where we ticked off many of our bucket list items for Cape Town!

Every bus is equipped with on-board commentary in 15 different languages and a fun channel for children – making it a family friendly experience for everyone. These state-of-the-art buses are a safe and reliable way to navigate Cape Town and its many beautiful areas.
