A wonderful experience. Ultra friendly and helpful staff, trams well maintained, access to estates easy and fun. Altogether would highly recommend it to anyone doing the wine route. - Marie
We had a fabulous experience. The staff were so lovely and warm. An amazing day of touring Franschoek. We met so many new people and returned to Durban happy that we chose the experience. - Alicia
The wine tram is a lovely experience. We first did it 7 years ago and it is definitely better. We enjoyed all the estates we went to, especially Babylonstoren for a lunchtime platter ? Would wholeheartedly recommend as a lovely day out - Caroline
A lovely experience! All of the staff were super friendly. Will definitely make use of the tram again, maybe this time taking the kids along for a family friendly route. But the wine estates on the Orange Line are superb! - Savannah
Fantastic experience once again. Tram staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. We had a wonderful day and will definitely be back. - Paul
