Description

The Hop-on-Hop-off Franschhoek Wine Tram is one of the most unique ways to experience the Cape Winelands and we have made it easier with our return shared transfers from Cape Town including Wine Tram ticket and hotel pick up and drop off. Avoid large groups and benefit from a small group of no more than 10 people from Cape Town to Franschhoek. Take advantage of securing your Franschhoek Wine Tram ticket which is included in this tour cost. You pay only for your wine tasting fees at the various wine estates your choose to visit and skip the ones you don't. What sets us apart from the rest? Convenience: Our guide is at your service for the duration of the tour and should you miss the tram at any of the wine estates, you need not wait an hour for the next tram, as our guide will collect you and drop you at the next wine estate.

Great Vineyard Tour & Local Stories — Thanks Ray!

Ray was fantastic! He took us to the vineyards in Franschhoek near Cape Town and shared fascinating stories about Cape Town and South African history, which really added to the experience. He also picked us up from the last vineyard, so we didn’t have to take the tram back. Friendly, knowledgeable, and very accommodating — highly recommend Ray.

Wonderful day out in the Cape Winelands

Our family had a fantastic day out in the Winelands. Leticia was an excellent guide who took so good care of us. Even the kids enjoyed the day as there was something for everyone. We had wine tasting at the wine estates we visited which were very well recommended by Leticia. The kids enjoyed the stop at Lion Park and even saw Chimpanzees. They also had a photo in front of the prison with Nelson Mandela. Thank you Kabura for a beautiful day.

Great Quality Tours & Guide Services! Highly recommended

We took the private airport transfer, chauffeur services and well full day winelands family tour. We had an 18 month of baby with us. In summary, the service, experience and all was wonderful. Our tour organizer Remondy was wonderful and ensured that all my requirements and requests were acceded plus went the extra mile to provide and even assisted with the restaurant reservations which were good recommendations to dine as well. Our guide, Marshall was superb - friendly, funny and was very professional. Definitely made our experience and stay in Cape Town an unforgettable one. Highly recommended to anyone who wishes to visit Cape Town! :)
