Elisabeth – United Kingdom

We really enjoyed riding on both the blue and red routes on what was a very patchy day weather-wise. Lots of chance to see great scenery and the commentary was well done; we really liked that the two routes had different commentaries on the shared part. All drivers we met were really friendly and helpful and it was easy to find the stops. The red bus stops right next to the cable car station so it’s really easy! We were unlucky with clouds at the top of the mountain but still got some decent views until about halfway up the cable car, which has an amazing rotating floor! The cafe and shop at the top are good and we loved seeing the rock hyrax and birds at the top.

We had a misty, rainy start of the day, but we still had a very enjoyable trip to the cable car base. We discovered the cable car was operating despite initial advise to the contrary. The cable car spun around slowly on the way up and down and staff was very helpful. Cape Town was invisible through the mist, but it was still worth it. In hindsight we should have taken hop on hop off blue bus before red as we had limited time.
