About Cape Town Bus Tour
A guide for your days on the open top deck
Cape Town Bus Tour is an independent guide for everyone who wants to see Cape Town from a hop-on hop-off bus. Here you will find where the Red, Blue and Purple routes go and where they stop, which ticket to buy and what it costs, how the bus combines with the Table Mountain cable car and the harbour and canal cruises, what the sunset bus to Signal Hill is like, how to reach Groot Constantia by bus, how the Franschhoek wine tram day from the city works, what official bodies advise about safety, and how to fill 2 days with the bus.
The site is written first in English and is available in five more languages.
How we research
Every number on our pages comes from a source that we link to at the bottom of the page: the routes, stops and timetables as the bus operator publishes them, the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway, Groot Constantia and Iziko Museums, the Franschhoek Wine Tram, SANBI for Kirstenbosch, and for safety only official advice from the UK government, the City of Cape Town and the Western Cape Government. The month-by-month climate figures come from NOAA for the Cape Town International Airport station; the daylight hours are our own calculation. Information on tours, that is duration, languages, inclusions and starting prices, is taken from the offers on GetYourGuide. If a source does not provide something, we do not write it.
A timetable can change after we read it. That is why we name the season a time belongs to and tell you to check the operator's current timetable before you set out.
How we make money
Cape Town Bus Tour is funded through the GetYourGuide affiliate program. When you book through one of our links, we receive a commission; your price remains the same. There are no advertising banners here, and we do not sell your data.
Who is behind it
Cape Town Bus Tour is run by Lukas Weber from Munich. You will find all details about the provider in the legal notice. The easiest way to send questions, comments, or corrections is to email [email protected].
