Getting Around Cape Town

Getting Around Cape Town

So you are interested in travelling to Cape Town, a few hotels and tours have caught your attention, but then the thought hits you - what options do I have to get around and sightsee? Well, we have you covered on that one by showcasing just a few of the ways to travel around this fantastic city.

We offer travel options from vehicle hire to private guides and chauffeurs, from buses to trains to Harley Davidson motorbikes. We even offer the possibility of walking tours throughout the city.

So yes, there is more than one way of getting around Cape Town, so whatever you fancy have a look at the below options and let us know.

Of interest, we also have security details and bodyguards for those international celebrities, businessmen or prominent officials.

Travelling Around Cape Town

  • Vehicle Hire

    Vehicle Hire

    By far and away our client's most popular option when in Cape Town is to hire their car. Self-driving offers up freedom to do what you want when you want, and with Cape Town's incredibly road network that is in very good condition, one has the independence and confidence to explore at you own pace.

  • Metrorail Trains

    Metrorail Trains

    All of the Metrorail routing (bar one) are not suitable for international visitors to the city of Cape Town as the primary purpose of rain travel is for locals to get to work. But we have listed it because of the Muizenberg to Simon's Town route which is one of the more scenic rail journeys in the country.

  • MyCiti Bus

    MyCiti Bus

    The MyCiti Bus option is more along the lines public transport for locals, but this has never stopped the visitor to Cape Town getting the best-priced transportation on offer. The most popular routes for the MyCiti Bus are the Airport route and the West Coast route. Again this option is mainly for locals commuting.

  • By Bicycle

    By Bicycle

    Honestly, cycling around Cape Town's CBD and busy suburbs is not recommended, South Africa drivers are not very good when it comes to sharing roads. But on saying that, cycling through the Winelands, mountain bike the surrounding mountains or even cycling through the Cape Point Reserve will be a highlight for years to come.

  • On Foot

    On Foot

    One of the more ancient and traditional ways of getting from point A to B. Going for a walk in and around Cape Town is quite often a pleasurable experience, especially along the coastal suburbs, beaches or V&A waterfront. There are also numerous hiking trails on Table Mountain herself all the way down to Cape Point.

  • Sidecar Tours

    Sidecar Tours

    Okay, picture this for something a little different. Touring around Cape Town, the Cape peninsula and the Cape Winelands in a 1960's vintage Red Army 750cc motorbike with sidecar. All sidecar tours are chauffeured by experienced riders and guides and offer that something very different. To be honest, what a way to explore the Cape.

  • Harley-Davidson Rentals

    Harley-Davidson Rentals

    Harley Davidson's were made for conquering Cape Town's roads, rent a Harley for a day or two or better still join a Harley Davidson tour around the Cape Peninsula or out to the Cape Winelands. Options range from Electra Glide® Ultra Limited, Road King®, Street Glide® Special, Road Glide® Special and Heritage Softail®.

  • Motorbike Rentals

    Motorbike Rentals

    Motorbike rentals and tours are very popular down here in Cape Town, and for good reason, the mountain passes, the vast expansive Karoo and those long west coast road are like nothing you have ever seen before. If riding is a passion, then contact us, and we will guide through the best options, routings and pricing.

  • City Sightseeing Bus

    City Sightseeing Bus

    Cape Town's very own sightseeing bus that is probably one of the easiest and cheapest ways of getting around to the cities more popular attractions. The buses run set circuits, and you jump on and off the bus as it suits you. Kirstenbosch, Table Mountain, Camps Bay, V&A Waterfront are just a few of the stops en-route.

  • Uber Cape Town

    Uber Cape Town

    Everyone's favourite people moving company is here in South Africa and especially Cape Town. So if you use Uber at home, you can use Uber in Cape Town, same App, same credit card. In all honesty, this is the way forward if you are comfortable with the service. Again not the best option for those longer tours around the Cape Peninsula.

  • Metered Taxis

    Metered Taxis

    Licensed taxi companies are a dime a dozen here in old Cape Town and are perfect for a short trip out at night or down to a local attraction. Your hotel will suggest the best company to use; we always recommend a company called Rikkis. Taxi companies are not the best option for those longer tours around the Cape Peninsula.

  • Private Guide

    Private Guide

    The one aspect that self-driving Cape Town lacks is having a guide that offers up intimate knowledge the Cape Town's history, scenic spots and general all round information. This is where a private guide comes into play; you can hire a professional guide for a half day, full day or even a week, the choice is yours.
