Andrew took us out on well spec’d bikes, taking time to ensure the set up was right for us and safe. A beautiful ride through woods, and vineyards on relatively easy trails. Andrew’s a great guide, very knowledgeable and easy going, all made for a great experience, we’ll be back.
Thank you Peter for taking the time to review our Constantia Winelands Cycling Tour . We are so happy that the bikes were to your standard, and that you enjoyed your day out with our wonderful cycling guide, Andrew! The day with it's beautiful scenery, fantastic quality wines and easy charming guides is often a highlight for our guests Perhaps next time, you will choose a tour in the beautiful Wellington/Stellenbosh or Franschhoek area.
This was such a beautiful bike ride! The route was very scenic. It wasn’t very strenuous, but some sections were difficult to navigate. A beginner rider might find it difficult, but our guide Andy was great. He was very accommodating, helpful, knowledgeable, and a genuinely good guy. Thanks for a great tour, Andy! The location we tasted wine at was also high quality.

Andy was so knowledgable and fun! Excellent recommendations on wineries and the entire experience. We rode bikes for 1.5 hours then visited 2 wineries. One of the best experiences in Cape Town!

We asked for an electric bicycle tour for a whole day. The guide arrived with 2 electric bikes, for my husband and me, and a normal bike for him. The guide couldn't follow. So we stopped after an hour and did some wine tasting. We paid for this 9.200 R !
Dear kathias815, Thank you for taking the time to review your experience. We do take your feedback very seriously. We have had a chance to review your experience with our team and with your guide and there were certainly areas that we fell short on. We will improve from this and If you are ever in Cape Town again, I hope that you will give us the chance to rectify the trust and provide us with an opportunity to demonstrate how AWOL Tours can deliver highlight experiences as so many of our guests have experienced with us. We wish you all the best with your future travels and look forward to hopefully working with you in the future. Kind regards, Helen for AWOL Tours
We had such a lovely time with Jeremy, our guide for the morning. He was made aware that my wife was slightly nervous of cycling but she soon relaxed when he explained what we were about to do and it was tailored to our abilities. We had a lovely morning seeing the many vineyards of Constanta and tasting some memorable wines, with most of the wine drinking saved to the end of the trip. Jeremy was a great guide and very knowledgeable of both the wine, the region and life in SA. We’ll be signing up to another soon.
Dear domsty. Thank you for taking the time to review your AWOL Tour Constantia winelands cycling experience. We are so pleased that you enjoyed the company of your AWOL guide Jeremy and that the cycling was accessible and enjoyable for everyone taking part; private tours really allow for a personalized experience to ensure that everybody feels included and safety is always our priority. Yes, the Constantia valley is home to many award winning wines and beautiful scenery. We look forward to welcoming you back to Cape Town on your return. Thank you again for recommending AWOL Tours. Kind regards, Helen AWOL Tours.
Jeremy was an excellent guide and helped us have a memorable day biking around the wine regions near Franshhoek and Stellenbosch. Jeremy was extremely knowledgeable about area, the history of the region, the wine making process, as well as the natural surroundings we saw along the way. Our day was completely customized to our preferences and included numerous stops at gorgeous wineries. We strongly recommend the tour with AWOL as they were easy to communicate with and really went out of their way to make our experience an enjoyable and memorable one.
Fantastic. Thanks for taking the time out to share your experiences of a Winelands cycle with Jeremy. So pleased we made a memorable holiday to Cape Winelands. Glad that our office also made it easy to communicate and book the tour.
With four children aged between 6 and 14 it can be hard to find an activity to suit everyone. This was a brilliant day. Communication before hand with Sally was excellent and she had bikes of the right size ready for all of us. Two guides came along so we were able to split up and the older children tackle some harder riding. The food and wine at the wineries was delicious and both guides were really great - encouraging, full of info and willing to learn to play Uno! We learnt lots about South Africa and it's culture while enjoying some great cycling in a beautiful place. We would encourage anyone to take this tour!
Fantastic. Thanks so much for taking the time out to share your great experience your family had on an AWOL tour. As I have young kids of my own we really do try to cater for families visiting Cape Town on holiday. All the best and happy pedaling. Kind regards Sally
This tour was a great mix of cycling and wine tasting in the Constantia area! Highly recommend! Sally was absolutely wonderful!
Brilliant, fun and friendly ride out around the district plus a visit to the fantastic bike park. Me and my two boys (ages 12, 9 and 48) had a wonderful time. Sally was a great guide - very knowledgable bike wise and local culture wise. She assessed our needs/abilities and tailored our ride to suit. 10/10
Dear 159garthm, Thank you for taking the time to review your AWOL Tours experience. We are so pleased that we could contribute meaningfully to your holiday; Sally had a great day sharing the beautiful well maintained Constantia greenbelt trails with you and your sons and we hope that they enjoyed the bike park. We love catering for adventurous families and look very much forward to welcoming you and yours back to Cape Town in the near future for more mountain biking adventures. Thank you again for your very much appreciated recommendation. Kind regards, Helen AWOL Tours.
We started out in a table mountain tour with Awol and had decided to try electric bikes at an extra cost. Sadly one of the bikes had a glitch and did not start which made the whole ride worse since we parked way to far down, considering we hade the electric bikes;-) But now to the great part, Awol did above and beyond to fix this for us! Offering new tour time at no charge, fixing new e-bikes and letting us chose a time and a place for our next trip. We ended up having an amazing ride in Constantia and could not recommend Awol more! If you can muster the extra charge for electric e-bikes its an amazing ride!
Dear Fredrik J, Thank you so much for this very much appreciated review of your AWOL Tours experience. Thank you for allowing us to make amends; we are very grateful for the opportunity to rectify the trust and we are so pleased that your Constantia tour made up for the initial disappointment. We really hope that more guests join us for the beautiful Constantia cycling tour which is half day experience through South Africa's oldest wine region; with beautiful mountain views, well kept trails and award winning wines this is really a delightful morning experience. We hope that we have another chance to welcome you and yours to Cape Town for more adventures. Kind regards, Helen AWOL Tours
