We normally don't use this type of service when we travel but decided to ty it in Cape Town and we were glad we did. We did three different tours with the Hop On Hop Off buse in Cape Town. One day we did the red line and another we did the blue line, both take you through some of the same, and some different, parts of town. It costs around $20 per person for the entire day and you could do both lines on the same day for one price if you like, we chose to do it two different days. The buses are clean and well maintained and they provide earphones for a very informative recorded guide. We also took a tour to Stellenbosch and three wineries in the area. We had wine tastings at each of the wineries with some small snacks, the last one was a wine testing with chocolate, the chocolates were better than the wine, overall a great experience. We also had lunch at one of the wineries, not included in the price of the tour, and visited the very nice town of Stellenbosch on foot. Our tour guide "King" Charles was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Overall, I would recommend doing these tours to get acquainted with the city and its surroundings and spend time off the bus visiting some of the locations where they stop.

Really good service buses every 20 minutes and about 90 minutes for the whole tour of the city non stop. Takes in all the best sites including Camp Bay and surrounding coast line and beaches. Great to hop off, walk along a great promenade and hop back on to the next stop. 575 rand, about £26 pppday. No public buses so we could use it to get back to the hotel as well.

This is definitely the way to go! If I go back to Cape Town, I will use the Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Transport service. I used them in Cape Town and Johannesburg. The audio was perfect, the staff were great, the information was superb, the environment and ride was wonderful. The lady driving the bus went above and beyond for us and provided us great information as we ended up being the last people on the bus. I LOVED using this tour. The price and value is great!! The only small issue is that because I could not find my original receipt from the Cape Town tour, they would not give me the 15% discount for the Johannesburg tour. I had my electronic receipt and even my original paper receipt. I just did not have the receipt I turned in for the boarding receipt. I believe they should allow the 15% off in that case.

The Hop On Hop Off bus transport including the Cape Town city pass is by far the best way to tour/see all of the best must visit places/attractions in and around Cape Town. Once you purchase the city pass, you will be provided with a booklet of all of the attractions that you can choose from for the entire day. I think that the city pass is totally worth it!

Excellent value on the 5 day pass - around £90 including 5 days HOHO (blue, red and purple wine bus), frequent, 20 mins most, and often more on the areas where blue and red converge, and not full (although bear in mind it is Autumn now). 80 attractions, although you won't do them all (or want to do them all) and you would have to be really on it to get the full value. Best for us was Groot Constantia, table mountain, sunset tour, sunset cruise, we also availed of the free lunches which were great. Bear in mind that the loops are quite large (over 2 hours for the blue, over an hour for the red). Good recorded commentary in multiple languages. Staff lovely and helpful, loos in the main office in V & A. In 5 days the equivalent would have cost us over £200. Helpful booklet. We bought ours in advance and downloaded and printed, only to find that only the best scanners could cope with the paper copy, but we had a phone copy of the barcodes, and this worked fine. Safe place to see things.
