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.

Great Father/Son Adventure! - What a great way to learn about this beautiful city. We loved the history of the buildings but especially of the hotel we stayed in. My son loved the feel of the city and college life.

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.

A different side to Stellenbosch - We really enjoyed our walking tour of Stellenbosch. There is so much to learn about this gorgeous town apart from its wine! We were able to ask lots of questions about the area, the town and South Africa generally and would highly recommend you add this into your itinerary whilst here.
