City Sightseeing Cape Town's unmistakable and well-known red double decker open-top buses are without doubt the best way to see and tour Cape Town.
The City Sightseeing busses run all day, every day, with over 30 exciting stops and with easy access to some of the city and peninsula's most popular attractions. Plan your trip and jump off at any one of the Cape's top attractions along the way.
The Red City Tour is the shorter of the two options, facilitating easy access to locations throughout the Cape Town city bowl, Atlantic Seaboard and Table Mountain Aerial Cableway, whereas the Blue Mini Peninsula Tour takes you slightly further, and offers easy access to Constantia wine estate, and a township visit in Hout Bay.
The busses offer commentary in 16 languages (including a kids channel), offering fascinating insight into your surroundings as you coast past them.
