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.

Very good service all round. We did the bus first to avoid the crowds and worked well for us. - Lawrence

Die Fahrt mit dem Wine Train war ein tolles Erlebnis. Hop-on/Hop-off-Bus mit Weinbegleitung nicht nur zu Bus sondern als Schmankerl zu Schmalsspurbahn. Lobenswerte Organisation mit EXAKTEN Zeitplanen in safer Umgebung. Was will man mehr!? Dazu die Verkostungen auf den extrem unterschiedlichen Weingutern. Die Erlauterungen der Degustationsweine mit horbar "schmeckendbaren" Beschreibungen der EDLEN Tropfen > ein in Wein gegossener Traum. Gern wieder! Obwohl nach drei Verkostungen die Alkoholdehydrogenase unserer Lebern altersbedingt den Alkohol nicht mehr zeitnah abbauen konnte und gewisse Ausfallerscheinungen unubersehbar wurden. Da muss man dann einfach mal durch :-). - Rolf
Hallo ich kann die Wine Tram nur empfehlen, es war wie immer alles sehr gut. Angefangen von dem Abholen der Tickets, das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Auch der Fahrer und die Dame die uns begleitet haben, waren sehr freundlich. wir machen immer mindestens eine Tour mit der Wine Tram wenn wir in Franschoek sind. Macht weiter so. - Sandra
We had such a great experience as usual. Our guide on the bus was amazing and helpful. We loved every minute! - Alison
