It turned out to be a private tour. Our guide/driver Zain was very knowledgeable and attentive. The first winery Zevenwacht - we had a tour of the cellar - very interesting, then tasting of 4 different wines, paired with cheese. Highly recommended! The second winery Marianne- beautiful views, but no tour of the cellar, tasted 4 wines, paired with dried meat from sori h ok, kudu and beef. The Florial wine was exceptional.
The tour company took the booking but contacted me a few minutes later to say the tour did not have enough people to go. I had to spend part of my vacation trying to figure out how to contact TripAdvisor to tell them the company had canceled and ask for a refund. Can't recommend the tour company, and it would be really helpful if TripAdvisor had better contact info available to users.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologise for the significant inconvenience caused on this occasion. Please note that certain tours require a minimum number of passengers in order to operate. Unfortunately, for this particular departure, the minimum requirement was not met, and we were unable to proceed with the tour. We understand the frustration this caused, especially while you were on holiday and with such short notice. In situations like this, we would normally offer to move the booking to an alternative date or recommend a similar tour option where possible to assist with alternative arrangements. Thank you again for your understanding, and we appreciate your feedback regarding the communication process. We will review our listings and look at making this requirement more clearly visible across our booking platforms to ensure guests are better informed prior to booking.
My wife and I took this half-day Stellenbosch tour on the day that we were scheduled to depart Cape Town. Our guide was Rob Martin, who was a real delight, knowledgeable and interesting. If you take this tour, I would highly recommend that you request Rob as your guide. He picked us up timely at our hotel in the morning (in fact, he was there earlier than scheduled) and after a wonderful tour of Stellenbosch and two wineries (all that we had time for), he got us back to our hotel in plenty of time to collect our suitcases and get to the airport for our flight.
Very well conducted tour with Meinrad. He had extensive knowledge not only about wine but also about the history surrounding it. I would do it again.
We wished to arrange a 1/2 day trip to Stellenbosch from Cape Town to see the town and test the wines. Early 8.30 pick up from hotel was excellent and we met our driver/guide Jackie. Small group of 7 people.. 40 minute drive to first vineyard and we enjoyed our first sampling of 4 wines and cheeses. Then drive through Stellenbosch before visiting the second vineyard. Back at hotel by 13.30. Excellent trip when time is limited in Cape Town. Jackie was outstanding.
Two wonderful wineries, experienced descriptions of the wine, four at each winery, and a knowledgeable and safe guide and driver.
Amazing winery tour! Raegan was an outstanding guide—knowledgeable, friendly, and full of fun stories. The wines were excellent, the scenery beautiful, and the whole experience unforgettable. Highly recommend!
We had a fabulous tour of 2 wineries and a tour of Stellenbosch with an amazing young man called Zac, he was so knowledgeable.
In error I accidentally booked a private instead of a group tour with the rest of my friends. It worked out well. My tour guide Adolf was very knowledgeable and provided background on the area. He was willing to take me to any winery I preferred- however, I hadn’t completed any research and relied on his expertise. Two wineries were more than enough for me as I rested really that night.
Really good tour and suited our timeframe. Rowland was very informative and attentive. Great trip even though the weather wasn’t good.
