Once a year I visit Franschhoek with a friend, and we always take the Wine Tram. Our experience this time was as good as always - amazing choice of estates, friendly and upbeat hosts on the bus, and overall happy vibes. We try a different line each year and it's tough to pick a favourite - Debbie
it was a worlds experience. we enjoyed everything there. Well done - Phindile
A great experience no doubt. Victoria was our host and she made our day all the more memorable. Most of our favorite vineyards were on the bus part of the journey which was fine also because we enjoyed the ride. I especially loved that the busses and tram were more on time than a European train system. Well done. The staff were all amazing, drivers, hosts and flag men. Well done and keep up the great work. - Lee
Fabulous line- longer than some others... and whist first leg is on the trolly bus- the vineyards are great. The tram line is fun and again stops at 4 vineyards! 4 of us had a super day! Highly recommended! - Deb
