Public transport
MyCiTi can be useful on covered routes, especially when your start and finish points align with the network. Use its current journey planner rather than copying an old timetable.

Choose transport after sketching the itinerary
No single mode wins every day. Central plans, late dinners, peninsula drives, wine tasting, airport arrival, and a Durbanville base each create different trade-offs.
Car hire
A car adds flexibility for dispersed areas and the peninsula, but parking, unfamiliar roads, and wine tasting can erase that advantage. Decide day by day; do not drive after drinking.
Ride-hailing or transfer
A pre-booked airport transfer can simplify arrival. Ride-hailing can work for point-to-point city trips, but check pickup details and current availability in the app at the time.
Guided transport
A reputable guided outing can remove driving and route logistics for wine tasting or a first visit to a dispersed area. Confirm inclusions and operator credentials directly.
