I've visited SA many times and have stayed in Franschhoek on a few occasions , however I'd never hoped on the wine tram ! What a great , and fun experience. I would recommend it to anyone visiting as a must do ! - Neil
Top experience - Marinus
This was our second wonderful experience of the Franschhoek tram and so we knew what to expect and planned our day accordingly - we didn't try to cram to many estates in to our day, instead spending at least an hour at each of the four we visited. The arrangements are perfect, with the trams and buses all running on time, and the reception at the estates very welcoming and the service great. - FRANCIS
I had such a good time. So glad I went. Would do again. The grounds were so beautiful and I learned a great deal. - Mariah
