We enjoyed this hop on hop off in Capetown very much. It takes you through town and then visits the marina and beach areas.
It is almost 3 hours on the blue line and worth every penny.
Highly recommend it.
They even have a shuttle from the cruise terminal to the first stop.
Well done!

Very enjoyable, took both the red and blue lines. Disappointingly the cable way to Table Mountain was closed but we got some excellent views from the bus. The commentary was good and the drivers helpful and courteous.

We bought the two day ticket, as it wasn't much more than a one day ticket. There was much more to see in Cape Town than we realised, so we could have used the tickets much more effectively. We didn't start till lunchtime in the first day, and the last bus left at about 3.30, because the route takes a couple of hours. I would recommend taking the hopping opportunities, rather than just riding past, and start early.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, and for choosing the two-day ticket option to explore Cape Town! We're glad to hear that you found so much to see in the city. Your feedback about starting early and taking advantage of the hopping opportunities is valuable advice for future traveler's.
Milagros_S, Mar 2024
It was a beautiful experience the cruise... all the explanations were very helpful. And the bus was also very nice.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
It sounds like you had a wonderful experience on the cruise with informative explanations and a pleasant bus ride! Exploring by water can often offer unique perspectives and opportunities for relaxation and enjoyment. It's great to hear that the explanations provided during the cruise were helpful in enhancing your experience.

It’s a good option to see the city if you don’t have a car.
I only wanted the one day tour but seemed to end up with the 2 day ticket which I couldn’t use as I had other plans for the 2nd day (also booked with Viator). I didn’t find it obvious that the 2 day ticket could only be used on consecutive days ..
Drivers were good, commentary was clear, frequent departures. Other than the above issue I would give it 5 stars.
We did the red route to table mountain and camps bay.
If you are doing a sunset cruise separately, I don’t think the optional harbour cruise is that worth it. But it’s free, so what’s not to like!
Response from Host, Mar 2024
It's great to hear that you found the hop-on-hop-off bus tour a convenient option for exploring Cape Town without needing a car. The drivers' professionalism, clear commentary, and frequent departures certainly contribute to a positive experience. Thank you for sharing your feedback!
