Fabulous experience and not to be missed! - Carol
Very professional. Everything went as planned. - Ian
Great day out wine tasting on the tram and bus. Visited some lovely vineyards. Franschoek wine cellar was my favourite. Great wine and snacks. The logistics can seem quite daunting but once you start it all falls into place. My only small criticism is that it was very difficult to hear the staff on the tram when they were explaining things. - Gill
het was een ontzettend leuke dag! Wij hadden de rode lijn genomen en wel een plan gemaakt waar er langer en waar er korter uit te gaan bij de wijnfarms en waar te lunchen. Het is een heel goed georganiseerd bedrijf en alles loopt exact op tijd. Echt een aanrader. Volgende keer nemen we een andere route! - Martine
