Excellent service, very punctual and an interesting commentary. Well worth spending a day hopping on and off or just go around in one go to see the best of Cape Town - Parker
We had a delightful time - Rhys
Staff were very friendly and helpful . Everything ran like clockwork which was a fantastic experience . The wine tasting farms were great and the Rickety Bridge and Paserene were exceptional . - Shelley
The wine tram is a fun, well organized and efficient way of enjoying wine tasting without having to drive. The staff are friendly and well trained. This is a great example of how a community initiative can work well. I highly recommend this experience. - Evan
The Train/Bus is a perfect organization and rides exactly on time which is an achievement for any kind of transport. All the tasting were perfectly organised. What we missed is back ground information regarding the making of wine. A cellar tour with some more information about the process would have been interesting and valuable. - Michiel
