<Student Specials
Did you know that as a student, carrying a valid Student Card, you can experience three different student specials offers with City Sightseeing?
Students Day Out
One-day ticket on our Red Bus
Needing a day out with your friends and some time away from the books, then this special is definitely for you. Join us on board with a One Day Red Bus Student ticket for a full day out exploring the city or the Peninsula, stop off for a cocktail and some time on the beach in Camps Bay (Stop 8) or head to Hout Bay (Stop 24) for some fish and chips on the rocks at the marina. These two stops are perfect Insta-worthy selfie spots. NOTE: This ticket can only be bought at our offices (Stop 1 at the Waterfront or Stop 5 in the city), and you need to show your valid South African student card to redeem this price.
