Amazing tour with an outstanding team 💖
Charles, Akila and Songs make the best team ever.
We took the Boulder beach /Cape point tour with them and everything was amazing.
Charles shared a lot of valuable information about South Africa ❤️ Thanks to him I know more about this beautiful country.
Akila the sweetest ever she was spreading great vibes the whole day with her kind heart.
And for sure it was a safe and enjoyable tour thanks to our amazing driver Songs.
We are so happy we chose this tour and will do it again with them for sure 💖💖💖

Had a great time on the Cape Explorer with Akila, Songs and Charles. We learnt a lot both About the history, but also about the "Floral Kingdom".
It was a great day with nice views and everyone loved those penguins.

If I buy the 3 day pass, do I need to pay extra for the atractions listed,eg, return cable car ticket, harbour cruise, entrance fee to Kirstenbosch..... Or are all included. In other words 'free'?

If you are getting the 3 day mega premium pass... yes it’s included... but if you want clarity just call the city sight seeing office they are very helpful and explain in detail

Hi, we're looking at the 3 day delux. Few questions: when it says 3 days, is it 72 hours (meaning if we start at 2pm on Monday, we have access to the bus until 2pm on Thursday? or, is it 3 days, like 2pm Monday through end of day Wednesday?
Also, are the passes for the canal/harbor cruise, sunset bus tour, etc only valid DURING those 3 days? Wondering for instance, if we can start the bus passes on Tuesday, but go on the cruise Monday night.
Thank you!

I just came back from South Africa and had those passes .the passes are for 3 days no matter what time you start ,that pretty much holds true anywhere around the world is what I have seen with similar passes .all the added attractions like cruises ,cape wheel ,Kirtsenbosch ,table mountain ,hop on hop off are all valid during those 3 days only .I hope that helps .

Hi, is there a route that can take us to Chapman’s peak? I tried searching the website but couldn’t find anything. TIA

The guys taking the tours are really helpful and flexible. If you speak to them before the tour starts you should be able to get your tour guide to modify providing the others are happy to do so. I found that the tour I was in was super flexible. Alternatively you take a private tour which takes you wherever you want. Emailing beforehand doesn’t get you anything (from what others were saying on our tour). Enjoy!
Добрый день! В автобусе объявляют, типа вот сейчас можно пересесть на желтый маршрут или фиолетовый?
Здравствуйте! Планируем купить двухдневный билет на hop-on, hop-off. Подскажите пожалуйста, сколько кругов можно нарезать на hop-on hop-off? На остановках можно выходить и потом садиться в любой автобус? (скажем ехали на красном маршруте, а сели в синий, если пересекаются маршруты) И еще, как ловить такси на улицах Кейптауна?

No sure if you still need an answer. It depends on the type of ticket you buy. if the ticket allows you to use both the red line and the blue line then you can use either bus. As for the number of times you can use it in a day, there is no constraints other than time. You must make sure you are able to get to your drop off/stop before the buses stop running for the day. I hope this helps answer your questions.

It’s a car... arrangement can be made with the city sightseeing counter. I think it’s about 880 rand per person
