This was a long-cherished adventure. We listened to Chamber Music and then went on the Franschhoek Tram adventure. The booking service was pleasant, informative and efficient. We went on both the tram and the buses and visited a wine estate in comfort for two hours after which were returned to the station. Can highly recommend this as a days outing. - Lennart
We had a fantastic day using the tram and bus service on the Blue route. All of the staff were very helpful and friendly which clearly helped the days visit. The vineyards were amazing and great places to visit. So much variety with the vineyards. We enjoyed so much lovely wine and great food! Thinking about visiting next year! - Mike
An absolute must when in Franschhoek. We only did the blue line but what an incredible day. Booking easy and whole thing was great fun. The blue line is a combination of tram for 3 stops - up the track and back again and the rest of the vineyards are reached by bus. Our favourite for a lunch spot Le Bri - we just visited 4 vineyards spending 2hrs in our favourite ones and could happily stay longer. Leave early to get maximum enjoyment. - Liz
From start to finish the organisation is brilliant. The wine lodges we stopped at were great. The company have put a lot of thought into the logistics. At the first two lodges transfer transport was waiting and returns run every half an hour. We spent a relaxing 2 hours at Rickety Bridge tasting excellent wine. At Grande Provence we had lunch and another 2 hour's relaxing. We didn't sample Franschhoek Cellars as we'd had enough. We had used the Red line bus the day before too, which was also great. - Sandra
