Loved it , the wineries were great the tram and bus service seemed complicated at first but then you realise how easy it all is . The wine and chocolate pairing was great , "Pigcasso" was fun , the food and wine at Rickety Bridge was delicious. Next time we would definitely do two or three days one was not enough . Can't fault the service or staff they were attentive and helpful . We recommend the Franschhoek wine tram . - Linda
We had a good experience on the pink line. We observed that there was good coordination between the bus and tram line as they were always on time and kept to the schedule. Kodos to them. - subash
This the way to it! Five wine tastings (each one superb) and a delightful lunch, with a 1920-style tram or bus as your transport through the lovely Franschhoek valley. There is no pressure, just sublime pleasure. This was our third tram experience and we will be back for more! - Andre
Had an amazing time! Punctual arrival and departure times. Couldn't recommend it enough. Loved being able to pick and choose what wineries we went to and how long we wanted to stay. We had such a special day. - Tori
A fabulous experience and the team on the trams and buses were super helpful and friendly too. - Matt
