We absolutely loved the Franschhoek Wine Tram experience! It's such a fun and relaxing way to explore the beautiful wine farms in the area. We were a group of 10, coming from all around the world, and it was the perfect activity to do together. The tram is well-organised, easy to use, and makes planning a group wine day super simple. One of the best parts is that many of the wine farms offer special deals or discounted tastings for Wine Tram passengers, which makes it even more worthwhile. Each stop offered something unique --- from incredible views and delicious wines to tasty food and live music. Highly recommend this experience for couples, friends, or big groups looking to soak up the best of Franschhoek's wine culture! - Chantal
A great fun day. Very attentive and helpful staff and a great way of visiting multiple vineyards. - Nicola
Great day with family on the wine tram/bus service. We visited 4 sites and had a great day. The staff on the Tram and buses were friendly, helpful and courteous. I would definitely recommend this to others, as we could all enjoy travel and tasters with no one driving. - Darren
On Sunday 6th July 8 of us went on the Blue Line (tram first). It is a fun thing to do, well organised and a great way to see some wineries. We took in Rickety Bridge, Klein Goederust and Holden Manz. I don't recommend more than 3 wineries. You get a glass of champagne on the tram to set the mood. The bus was a little more exposed but we were dressed appropriately. Amanda and Reeve were particularly helpful and friendly but honestly all of the staff members were great. The Wine Tram is a must for your stay in Franschhoek. - Nicholas
We had a fantastic time on the tour. The staff were helpful and welcoming. Thank you for a wonderful experience - Tracey
