The Hopper
The tour was educational, exciting and a great way to explore without having to worry about the driving around. The queue at the office was long but moved very quickly as a bus comes very frequently. I enjoyed myself. I just need to remember to pack a jersey and take an earlier bus so I can hop off more without worrying about time.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you found our Hop on Hop off bus tours educational and exciting, and that it made exploring easy and stress-free. We appreciate your patience with the queue and are glad it moved along quickly. Your tips about bringing a jersey and starting earlier are great advice for future visits! We hope to welcome you on board another City Sightseeing experience again soon.

Smooth ride, Information and Great Stops - Relaxing way to see the City
Such a wonderful experience on the City Sightseeing Red Bus. The tour was informative, well organised and overall very pleasent. The views were amazing and we loved our first stop, Kirstenbosch Gardens - such a beautiful place to visit. The prices are reasonable for what you get. This was our 5th experience on the the tour as each time we try to take a friend along who's never been. Highly recommend.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you had such a positive experience on our red bus tour and found it informative, well organized, and enjoyable. The views and a visit to Kirstenbosch Gardens are indeed highlights of the route, and we are glad they added to your experience. We are especially grateful for your continued support and for choosing to return on City Sightseeing Cape Town multiple times. Thank you for your recommendation.

Cape Town Hop-on Hop-off & World of Birds Combo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.
How much does Cape Town Hop-on Hop-off & World of Birds Combo cost?
+
Prices start at R 345 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cape Town usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cape Town Hop-on Hop-off & World of Birds Combo take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cape Town is not rushed.
Is Cape Town Hop-on Hop-off & World of Birds Combo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cape Town, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cape Town Hop-on Hop-off & World of Birds Combo?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cape Town Hop-on Hop-off & World of Birds Combo suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cape Town Hop-on Hop-off & World of Birds Combo?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cape Town can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cape Town and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cape Town Hop-on Hop-off & World of Birds Combo start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cape Town within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cape Town?
+
On Outty we rank every Cape Town experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cape Town: Lion's Head Sunrise/Sunset Hike, Hike Table Mountain or Lions Head in Cape Town Like a Local, Cape Point and Boulder's Penguins Full Day Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cape Town?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cape Town?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Cape Town Hop-on Hop-off & World of Birds Combo?

+
