Sehr schone Tour ,freundliches Personal und schone Lokalitaten. - Tanja
An excellent experience in every way! We made 3 stops: Bri, Rickety Bridge and La Provence. Each sommelier was knowledgeable and helpful. My favourite stop was Rickety Bridge as we were served delicious charcuterie with our wine tasting. This made it especially memorable. We thoroughly enjoyed the Wine Tram which gave us wonderful photo opportunities and great views en route. Highly recommended. - Susan
We had a great experience on the wine trams. The staff made it smooth and friendly and it was easy to navigate. The people at the wineries also helped make the day run well. - Cate
It was such a pleasant and exciting experience. Well organised and friendly relaxing environment ?? it's a must do again ! - Nicky
Franschhoek Wine Tram/Bus is a great way to explore this wine region. Victoria our host was very pleasant and had a great knowledge of the different stops. The service was very efficient and ran on time which meant emergency could stop at more vineyards. I would highly recommend - Celia
