Impeccable service - Very responsive to enquiry about availability despite Christmas season. Excellent commentary on tour from significant history to local tales. All curious questions well addressed. Helpful in storing our luggage during tour and in getting us a taxi back to Cape Town.

Time machine walk through - Something that is always overlooked, the Stellenbosch walking tours curated by the visitor’s information center, is an amazing way to get acquainted with this remarkable town. Serving as an introduction to Stellenbosch, the 90-minute tour is a must and is best combined with the various museum tours – all of which complement each other.

Wonderful walking tour in Stellenbosch - We did a walking tour of Stellenbosch (the old town) with Johann on a lovely Sunday morning in April. It was market Sunday and beautifully warm for an autumn day so the town was buzzing with a happy vibe! Johann was an excellent and knowledgeable guide. He easily answered all our questions and we all enjoyed the tour.
