In order to properly exercise their duties, the Franschhoek Wine Tram staff members place a legitimate expectation on all guests not to behave in an unacceptably loud, disruptive, offensive, or intoxicated manner. Should any such behaviour be exhibited the Franschhoek Wine Tram reserves its right to suspend or withdraw its services. All vehicles are fitted with CCTV and monitored throughout the service.

A well organised day out. The staff on the buses and tram were helpful, informative and friendly ( even with the idiots who didn't understand the route concept) Highly recommended tour, even for a non-drinker like me. Best wine estate : Rickety Bridge Best gardens : Passerine - John
The Blue Line of the Franschhoek Wine Tram made our day of wine tasting wonderfully easy. Everything was well organised and straightforward to use, with punctual services and very friendly staff. We chose to visit just two wineries, simply skipping the stops we weren't interested in. That flexibility allowed us to take our time and enjoy each visit without rushing. A thoroughly enjoyable, relaxed way to explore the wine estates. - Alex
