Interesting tour with tasting and visit colonial cities - Nice tour that passes through colonial origin centers and wine houses with wine and cheese tasting. Visit also to historic places and the prison where Nelson Mandela was held. Beautiful views, nice tour, maybe we would have liked to see better the wineries in addition to the tastings. In any case, the judgment is also very good for the preparation and skill of the guides.

Not the best wine tour - This winetour started with 10/10 at the first wineyard. Very nice tasting with cheese with the different wines. Second stop was at Mariannes 5/10, nice views and ok wines, then lunch in Franschoek and then a small touristtrain to last stop wich was 1/10. Totally unintrested wine staff. Our tour guide was excellent but the driver had a poor driving... My personal suggest is that a half day tour is better.

Not the best wine tasting experience - Great driver/guide who was amusing and informative. The vineyards were ok but some of the wines were not the best (particularly Rickety Bridge). The tram was a joke!…on the tram about 5 minutes at most. The transport was cramped and uncomfortable.

Bad Experience/Poor Customer Service - Pick-up was 20+ minutes late and did not try to contact me at all. Activity listed for an 8:30 start, they weren’t ready to pick me up until closer to 9:20. Ended up requesting a refund and cancellation due to all of the issues. Company claimed they would cancel and provide full refund (have screenshots) but still no info or confirmation of it being processed. I do not recommend. For an all day (9hour) activity, I was told by others who attended as well as the company rep that they only visit 3 wineries. Less expensive and more efficient/timely to go by yourself.
