From booking, paying and getting on the bus was a good experience! Everything is neat, well organised and happens on time. The wine farms visited is beautiful and the wines and food are delicious. We made good friends with people from all over the world. We will be back for more. - Riaan

5/5 Stars - A Journey of a Lifetime!* I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the franchoek wine train tour, and it was truly an unforgettable adventure! From the moment we boarded the luxurious train, we were treated like royalty. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and passionate about the wine and region. The wine tastings were expertly curated, with a focus on local, boutique wineries. We sampled some of the most exquisite wines I've ever had the pleasure of tasting. The food pairings were equally impressive, with each dish carefully crafted to complement the wines. But what truly made this experience stand out was the breathtaking scenery. The train wound its way through rolling hills, picturesque villages, and stunning vineyards, offering us a glimpse into the region's natural beauty. If you're a wine lover, foodie, or simply looking for a unique and memorable experience, I highly recommend wine train tour. It's a journey you'll cherish forever! *Highlights:* - Expertly curated wine tastings - Delicious food pairings - Breathtaking scenery - Attentive and knowledgeable staff - Luxurious train amenities Will I return?- Absolutely! I'm already planning my next trip. - Mavunga
We had a great time and will definitely recommend the wine tour to anyone travelling to Cape Town. We enjoyed how smooth the transfers were and thought everything was very well organised. Even the wineries were accommodating to ensure we get what we wanted (food, tastings, etc.) before the next transfer arrives. - Amal
Very enjoyable day. Did the loop on the bus first and visited Atlas Swift. Then took the tram to Rickety Bridge and then Franschhoek Wine Cellars Very good day and the Wine Tram was a great way to get about - Peter
