Such a fun way to spend a day...the tram runs on time, and the staff are extremely friendly and informative. All in all, a wonderful experience that I look forward to doing again! We planned ahead and knew where we would get off and had booked for lunch, so it is worth doing some research and pre-planning. - Carol
Coming from JHB was our 1st time on the tram and it was an amazing experience we did the orange line and from start to finish was just spectacular met some beautiful people from all over the world the food @ Boschendal was just mouth watering did the wine tasting at Bacco was lovely - Michelle
We had a great day travelling to different wine estates with the wine tram. The experience is fun and communication is very good. It was clear to us at what time collection would be, so we could plan our visits perfectly. - Renée
Polite and knowledgeable staff which made for an enjoyable experience. If you would like to see more than 2 wineries my advice is to be on the tram itself for 10:00, to make the most of the day. Thanks guys - Samantha
I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. The trams were clean and on time, and the staff was friendly and helpful. - Jessica
