Private tour - Had a wonderful 1/2 day private tour with Bonnie. She took me and my husband to Stellensbosch, shared lots of information about the area and arranged 2 wine tastings for us. Would definitely do this again. It was like being driven around by a friend.

Fantastic wine tasting! - Our guide was very knowledgeable and checked in with us regularly. He was present throughout the day. He knew our names and made us laughing loved the wine tasting experience but the most special part of the day was when he sang a song to us in his native language. Do amazing!

Not great value for money & felt rushed - Worse than expected. Booked half day wine tour. Picked up at pre-arranged time but the next 2 pick ups were at the same time and the one couple weren’t ready so had to go back for them. Then the driver got on the wrong road. We got stuck in traffic on the motorway. When we got to Stellenbosch it was rush hour so we got stuck in traffic again. This meant that the two wine tastings we attended were rushed. Don’t feel it was value for money

Average wine trip - Wines were disappointing. First winery which was the better one we felt rushed. Second winery was very average. Best bit was interesting information given by our guide on the bus out of Capetown about the townships.

Terrible - I booked this half day trip for a 13.30 pick up. By 13.45 I still hadn’t been collected and I’d had no correspondence. A different tour with the same operator arrived and as I couldn’t get hold of anyone made some calls. My driver finally turned up 45 minutes late and told me they had forgotten to add me to the tour list. We only went to 2 locations, the first was so noisy, we could hardly hear our sémillon, the second we were just left to work it out, the museum was closed, and the bus was like a sauna despite asking for the heating to be turned off. I had a meeting at 18.30 and had allowed an hour between getting back and my meeting in case there was traffic. At 17.20 I asked our driver what time he thought we would get back he said 17.30. We were an hour away from the city and hadn’t finished our tastings. So that certainly wasn’t happening. I decided to make my own way back, missing two wines and the pairings., so I could make my evening meeting. I requested a partial refund to account for missing wines, the delay, and making my own way back, but the operator African Eagle Tours, refused. Really, really poor
