That sounds like a truly magical experience! There's something so special about feeling the wind, sharing moments of joy, and taking in the beauty of nature. It's amazing how such moments remind us of the bigger picture and our connection to the world around us. Would love to hear more about what inspired this experience for you!

Perfect setting

Kooshy, Mar 2024

My boyfriend proposed as the sun was setting. We found a beautiful spot just perfect , Not too many people and the view was incredible

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Congratulations on your engagement! What a magical moment to be proposed to as the sun was setting. It sounds like you found the perfect spot with a beautiful view and just the right amount of privacy to make the occasion even more special. Wishing you both a lifetime of love and happiness together!

Don’t bother

Lynne_H, Mar 2024

If I could give 0 stars I would. Total waste of money to the point that refunds should have been offered. The bus was late leaving so we got to Signal Hill with 30 seconds to spare. People were standing on the top deck trying to take photos of the sun before it disappeared. This tour suggests taking a picnic to watch the sun set. Not a chance of that. A lot of unhappy people. Tbh we stayed at Mouille Point and the sun set across the bay was beautiful.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

We're sorry to learn that your experience with our tour fell short of expectations. Upon reviewing our records, it appears you participated in the tour on Saturday, March 9th. Saturdays tend to be particularly busy on Signal Hill, especially during this time of year when we're enjoying some of the last beautiful evenings before autumn sets in. Unfortunately, this can lead to congestion as numerous vehicles make their way up the hill, compounded by instances of illegal parking, which can impede traffic flow. Regrettably, on the day you joined us, we encountered significant delays, with the bus moving only 200 meters in 20 minutes. In such situations, drivers often advise customers to disembark and continue the journey on foot. We apologize if this option wasn't adequately communicated to you. According to our tracking records, the bus arrived at the drop-off point at 7:10 pm, with customers asked to return by 7:45 pm. While we acknowledge that this timeframe may not have provided the ideal amount of time for enjoying Signal Hill, it certainly exceeds the mere 30 seconds you mentioned. Our departure from Signal Hill occurred at 7:54 pm. We're actively collaborating with Cape Town traffic management to address the congestion and parking issues at this iconic sunset spot. Rest assured, we're committed to resolving this matter to enhance the overall experience for our customers. Feedback, both positive and negative, is invaluable to us as we strive for excellence across all our offerings. Your review will assist us in our ongoing mission to deliver a world-class experience to all our patrons. We appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to exceed your expectations in the future.

Perfect start

Kim_B, Jan 2024

This tour was the perfect start to our holiday. We picked up nibbles and wine at Giovanni’s for a picnic and then met the bus for the tour. Stunning views over the city. Highly recommend.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Dear Kim_B We are so happy to see you that this was the perfect start to the tour. Thank you for your business and support!

Bad luck!

Sophie_H, Nov 2022

We had rain and fog We did not see anything The bus was packed so we had to sit in the rain on the upper deck of the bus so maybe they should catered for raincoats and blankets

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Thanks for the review. The ticket is always valid for multiple evenings, so if it's raining, you're simply able to pitch the next night. We can control a great many things, but the weather is sadly not one of these.
