The Red City Tour includes the V&A Waterfront, Two Oceans Aquarium, Table Mountain Aerial Cableway, and the Atlantic Seaboard, offering scenic views of Camps Bay and Clifton beaches.
The Blue Mini Peninsula Tour is a longer route that travels past Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, over Constantia Nek, into Hout Bay, and along the Atlantic Coast, following part of the Red Route near Camps Bay before returning to the V&A Waterfront.

The Purple Wine Tour is a shorter loop that connects visitors to renowned wine estates in the Constantia Valley, including Groot Constantia.
