Photo Stop: Drakenstein Prison. In 1982 Mandela was transferred from the maximum security prison on Robben Island, a small island in Table Bay, to Pollsmoor Prison in Tokai, Cape Town. From there, Mandela was moved to the then Victor Verster Prison on 9 December 1988, where he lived in a private house inside the prison compound. Victor Verster, a farm prison, was often used as a stepping stone for releasing lower-risk political prisoners. Mandela served another 14 months at Victor Verster (Now called Drakenstein) Prison until his release on 11 February 1990. On the day of his release, reporters from all over the world surrounded the prison, giving the prison worldwide publicity.
Enjoy an afternoon wine tasting with a sweet and decadent pairing in the Paarl wine region

Derrick and Mo were excellent throughout our wine tour. They were both friendly, attentive and always had a smile. Derrick was knowledgeable, welcoming and very open to questions, while Mo made sure the journey was comfortable, safe and enjoyable. They created a relaxed atmosphere and made the whole day feel well organised and fun. I would highly recommend them both. I would 100% recommend this especially if you get the guys. The only issue was the email of the pickup location was off slightly.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed our Three Regions Wine Tour and that Dereck and Mo made your day so memorable. It's fantastic to know that their friendliness, professionalism, and knowledge created such a relaxed and enjoyable experience. We'll be sure to pass your kind words on to both of them. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the pick-up location. A reminder email with your confirmed pick-up point is sent the day before the tour, so we always recommend checking this email to ensure you arrive at the correct location. Thank you for your recommendation, and we look forward to welcoming you back on our City Sightseeing tours soon!
Dereck and his team put on a great day for us. The company offers, in my opinion, an affordable and enjoyable way to explore wine in Cape Town
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed our Three Regions Wine Tour and found it to be an affordable and enjoyable way to explore the Cape Winelands. It's especially great to know that Dereck and the team helped make your day such a memorable one. We truly appreciate your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back on our City Sightseeing tours soon!
The trip is pretty complete, we went to three different cellars, having lunch in one of them. The guide, Derek, was amazing, he was constantly giving information, fun facts and history; which made the whole trip way more interesting. The driver Mo was also great, approachable and always making the stops on time. There was no admission fee besides the price paid for the tour. But lunch is not included, so budget for about R150/200 per person besides the tour price. We left the last pick-up point at around 8:50am, and got to our first stop at 9:40am more or less. We got back to Cape Town at around 18:00pm, making it a total of ~9 hours. The atmosphere was nice as well, we went on a weekday, so there weren’t too many people in the cellars besides those who were on the tour (it was maybe 30 people total). I recommend this activity for those who want to avoid driving for the wine tastings, and who want a day pre-planned for them.
Thank you so much for your detailed and wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed our Three Regions Wine Tour and that you had such a memorable experience visiting the three wine estates. It's fantastic to know that Derek's knowledge, fun facts, and passion for South Africa made the journey even more enjoyable, and we'll be sure to pass your kind words on to both Derek and Mo. We also appreciate you sharing such helpful information for future guests about the day, the lunch options, and the overall experience. Thank you for recommending our tour to others.

The views are stunning and the guide is very knowledgeable! Speaking of pick-up - we didn’t know that the bus departs at exact time and doesn’t wait for even 3 min, we accidentally learnt that the bus had departed and was on another stop and if we had been late for even 2 min (we went there by another touristic bus), we would have missed our trip
Thank you for your lovely review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed our Three Regions Wine Tour, especially the stunning views and the knowledgeable commentary from your guide. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the pick-up time.

We're glad you were still able to join the tour and appreciate your understanding. Thank you for your feedback, and we look forward to welcoming you back on our City Sightseeing tours soon!
