Stunning experience with very friendly staff - Tina
We absolutely loved the tram/bus! Staff was amazing and friendly - Tina
Wonderful day on the Red Line. Visited Lynx for our first stop and instead of a morning coffee had wine and brownies. Beautiful and elegant surroundings with magnificent views. Then on to Mont Rochelle for chocolate and wine pairing and lunch at Rickety Bridge. We completed our day at Grande Provence. A multitude of delicious wines tasted in the sunshine. Highly recommend ? - Hayley
We booked online and just turned up early at the terminus to collect our tickets. Everything was straightforward. We sampled wines at four out of the five wineries we visited and had cheese platters at two of them. To be practical we shared the wine samples between the two of us so we wouldn't get too drunk! All the tram staff we encountered were welcoming, friendly and helpful. Franschhoek is lovely and we would love to stay there again and try other wineries. - Anna
Very organized but so relaxing and you can have as much wine you want because you don't have to drive. It is such a nice and convenient experience. - Christo
