Touring Cape Town, tourist-style!

A few weeks ago, when the weather was still sunny and brilliant, I went with my sister on the City Sightseeing bus. You know, that big, topless red one that all the tourists take... Well I just have to say WOW! What a professional service and such a brilliant experience. I would recommend that everyone (whether you are local to Cape Town or not) experiences the magic of Cape Town from the top of the City Sightseeing bus! Their slogan is ‘The best way to see Cape Town in 2 days” and I agree.

The buses depart from the V&A Waterfront and take one of two routes: either the Blue or Red route. Each route covers a different spectrum of Cape Town. There also 1 day and  2 day trips. Prices range between R110 –R210 for a ticket, depending on what you want to do. The bus takes you on a tour with headphones, explaining the background of every part of Cape Town as you drive. It also stops at all the tourist destinations such as Table Mountain cable car and Camps Bay where you can climb off, enjoy the experience and be picked up later. The bus runs like public transport and there is a bus within 25minutes at each stop.

I learned things about Cape Town I never knew and took awesome photographs. Do yourself a favour and give it a go! You won’t regret it! For more information on routes and prices, please go check out their website: http://www.citysightseeing.co.za/home.

Driving passed the Purple Turtle in Long Street. It has more history than you think!
