It was a wonderful experience. Everyone we encountered was friendly from the station to the different wine farms. I am encouraging others to try it out. I over indulged and at the end of it..the ladies at the station assist me with "take away bags" :') very thankful for that. - Keitumetse
Lovely tour in a beautiful area, visits to wonderful vineyards with great Wine and food and above all a lovely ambiance, loved the "hop on/ hop off" set up! Would most definately recommend a trip with the Wine Tram! - Gita
We had a great time on the blue line, visiting both larger and smaller family-run vineyards. The system works really well with the bus and tram and we comfortably visited four vineyards. All the staff were helpful and friendly. Victoria was especially good. - Jill
Ideal start point in V & A area as our hotel was just across the road. The journey with commentary in English showed us the highlights of Cape Town then moved on to cover the Kirstenbosch Gardens and Hout Bay. We had the chance on tw first day to see the places we wanted to get off on the second day's tour with a tow day ticket. Thoroughly enjoyable with top deck viewing of the area! - MICHAEL
Very nice this tram! ! Beautiful wine farms /places! - Mariëlle
