Good pass, bad support
The pass is definitely worth it, but the struggle we had to get it working was so bad. First, I tried buying it online, and it crashed out after payment confirmation. Then the same happened to my wife. No problem, because we have the order number. Then after going into the office and providing the order number, they made us take photos of the barcodes off another phone, which caused us a lot of problems at the attractions because the scanners couldn't read it properly, and had to input it manually (some attractions don't have that ability, so we couldn't enter). In the end we used the city passes I bought, and emailed to get a refund for the ones my wife had bought, but dead silence and no reply after almost 3 weeks now. When I call the number it's always busy and doesn't even ring. This feels like the only way of communication or getting attention to my matter...

Buy in Cape Town to avoid confusion
On presenting the voucher to the hop on hop off bus office, for our bus ticket, we were told that we had purchased a premium pass, which we had not, but the clerk didn't listen and gave us a two day pass and a booklet for the premium venues. This caused problems as when scanning the pass we were refused entry to some venues. The aquarium was the worst as the manager was very rude and frog marched us to the hop on hop off office! Where a different clerk said we didn't have a premium pass, when I showed her the ticket the 1st clerk gave us she just surged her shoulders. Also the Springbok museum closed a couple of years ago and is still listed as a venue you can go to. We spent 2 hours looking for it.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review. I can understand the confusion that may have been caused. There are two passes that operate in Cape Town, the Cape Town City Pass and the Cape Town Pass of which you purchased the latter. The pass you purchased is substantially different to the Cape Town City Pass and its offering is clear on the listing as well as on the voucher which you would have received from Viator.

A great way to see Cape Town and save money
Its absolute must have if you are spending at least 3 days in Cape Town and are eager to experience as much as possible. We had a "serious" intentions, thats why bought the 5 day premium package. Its impossible to see everything within 5 days, but we did a lot, including whole day trip for shark cage diving. A huge choice of attractions made us busy almost every minute, and transportation by HOp-on_hop-Off bus make our city trips absolutely convenient and picturesque. Worth every spent penny and even much more! Highly recommend!

one day city tour
The attractions were good however i felt robbed that i paid more than three times the value of the ticket and got the ordinary service similar to those who bought from cityscapes kiosk.

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cape Town Pass: Free Entry to Cape Town's Top Attractions & Experiences: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.
How does Cape Town Pass: Free Entry to Cape Town's Top Attractions & Experiences compare to similar tours in Cape Town?
+
It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Cape Town, with an Outty Ranking of 60. At $137 it sits above the typical similar option ($61), so book it for what is included rather than price. Best for families and travelers who want a full-day outing.
Who is Cape Town Pass: Free Entry to Cape Town's Top Attractions & Experiences best for?
+
It suits families and travelers who want a full-day outing best, based on its 24-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Is Cape Town Pass: Free Entry to Cape Town's Top Attractions & Experiences good value?
+
It is a premium pick. It starts at $137, above the $61 typical for similar experiences in Cape Town.
How much does Cape Town Pass: Free Entry to Cape Town's Top Attractions & Experiences cost?
+
Prices start at $137 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 Pass: Free Entry to Cape Town's Top Attractions & Experiences take?
+
Plan for about 24 hours 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 Pass: Free Entry to Cape Town's Top Attractions & Experiences worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 5 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 Pass: Free Entry to Cape Town's Top Attractions & Experiences?
+
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 Pass: Free Entry to Cape Town's Top Attractions & Experiences suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 24-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cape Town Pass: Free Entry to Cape Town's Top Attractions & Experiences?
+
Around 2 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 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cape Town Pass: Free Entry to Cape Town's Top Attractions & Experiences 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, Cape Town Airport Private Transfer, Ocean Wildlife Encounter in Cape Town. 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 Pass: Free Entry to Cape Town's Top Attractions & Experiences?
