Tips to experience the best that City Sightseeing has to offer this winter:
1.Remember to layer your tops from a normal tee shirt right through to your rain jacket and cap. Cape Town is famous for its ever-changing weather, and it can be 7 degrees in the morning and 27 by lunchtime. In Johannesburg, on the other hand, you are more likely to experience a cold and dry winter, so several layers are key, especially on the open top of the bus.
2.Sunscreen! The winter sun can be deceiving, and you are sure to get a sunburn. Always include 50 SPF sunscreen in your travel bag for the day.
3.Even though it might be winter, it is still important to stay hydrated. Make sure you keep hydrated throughout the tour. City Sightseeing also offers recyclable water bottles from their kiosks.
4.Listen to the commentary. South Africa’s stories are a huge part of what makes up the culture. Listen, be mindful and embrace our history! Kids love the open-top buses, and they have a special commentary channel (in English) just for them.
5.Hop on and off as you please. You are sure to have an amazing, unforgettable day.
