Complete tour!

A very complete bike tour with a piece of history, delicious wine tasting and a beautiful environment. Nice and active and we had good weather! We were the only ones, so a private tour for our family!

Bikes, history, wines and chocolate!

The tour was very interesting and very beautiful. Marshall, our guide, was fantastic. He explained a lot of things to us about the city and its history. The bike route was very pleasant and with stunning landscapes. The wine tasting was excellent and the chocolate was also excellent! We recommend it!

Fun, comfortable ride with a great guide

I had a wonderful morning. Marshall, our guide, was fantastic. I was nervous about hills beforehand but he was very reassuring. The ride was very comfortable, a couple of inclines but nothing a regular cyclist wouldn’t manage. They had already fitted us for bikes and helmets were compulsory. It was great finding out the history of the place and then riding up to the two vineyards. I don’t drink, so Marshall arranged for me to have something else, which was lovely of him. Beautiful setting within the mountains.

Very worthwhile excursion in Stellenbosch

Stellenbosch is a super nice city. Cleaner and prettier than Cape Town. The bike tour was not much in terms of distance, but we had nice bikes. And a nice enthusiastic guide. The tastings were totally fun (also for a non alcoholic drinker like me) in a beautiful setting.

Thank you for the wonderful review and happy to hear you enjoyed the tour, our guide will be very pleased.

Relaxed bike ride, nice wineries

Relaxed bike ride through Stellenbosch, e bike highly recommended because many false flat to the wineries. Distances really not far. No more activity for true sports enthusiasts for people who want to alternate the sporty with the pleasant.

Operator response

Thank you for the review. Glad you enjoyed the Guided Historic biek tour of Stellenbosch with us.For those wanting to do more of a cycling day, you could book the Boschendal ride or Franschhoek ride. Both have amazing views but less stops en route and more cycling.

Bikes and Wine

Fabulous Customer service, with special mention to Lance - whose guided Bike tour was amazing. His knowledge of Stellenbosch was very good and very entertaining, keeping us in-check all the time. The visit to the Vineyards were excellent - thank goodness for the electric bikes, as the cycle back may have been a little trickier without the assistance:). The following day Lee took us by private mini bus to several other vineyards. His knowledge was astounding and we would definitely use both guides again.

Thank you for the review. Glad you enjoyed 2 of our very knowledgable guides on the two tours

Great day activity in Stellenbosch

A great but intense bike tour. You get a comfortable mountainbike and you don’t need to be super fit. Our guid Marshall was a great storyteller and fun guy. You learn all about the history of Stellenbosch while also visiting two wine domains. Loved it!

Operator response

Glad you enjoyed your bike tour with us. Hope to see you again

Bicycles and wine what a great pairing.

Lance was great in the run up to our tour. Kept in contact and advised us on the bikes we should hire. His knowledge is never ending and has a great passion for Stellenbosch and its heritage. We had electric bikes which were perfect. The group gelled well and we had such a great time and of course the wine tastings en route assisted 😊. On our second day we were fortunate to have had a wine tour with Lee, who again has fabulous knowledge not only on the wine farms and estates but also on the town and South Africa. Both gentlemen are a credit to the company.

Operator response

Gald you enjoyed the two days with us and thanks for the nice review. We hope to see you again some time.
