This is absolutely brilliant when you do not have much time to spend in Cape Town and you want to see the highlights. I would do that even again next time, it is a great way of transport in the city too! Really recommend to anyone. If you want to visit the vineyards, two days are not even enough :).

We enjoyed the most fabulous day Peter was the BEST guide and was very mindful that we needed to take time on the bikes … It was a super experience and one that will always be kept in our memory box DEFINITELY recommend .. huge thanks

Excellent Route, very affordable, great narration about local iconic and historic places! I truly enjoy two days on the bus on my 4 day stay in Cape Town!

Excellent tour. I highly recommend this as the first thing you do when you arrive in Cape Town to help set your agenda for your visit.

Plenty of buses, two great routes, couldn’t find the canal boat tour though.
