I just want to thank the Red Trolley Tours for their excellent service and wonderful and professional manner they are running things. Marli had a wonderful time with her 3 friends, and we would definitely be coming back soon for another tour experience. Kind regards Alida van Krieken - Alida
Well organized, on time, and very exquisite ? All the way from Namibia See you again - Patricia
We had a thoroughly enjoyable experience on the Red Line! The service was excellent and all of the staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. The choice of wineries was also first class. Our only criticism is that the description about how to use the tram service is massively over-complicated, when it could be much simpler and therefore more user-friendly. But overall, it was a great day out! - Michael
Nice vineyards lovely day - Peter&Jan
We enjoyed the trip and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. All in all a great experience. - Daan
