Should any such behaviour be exhibited the Franschhoek Wine Tram reserves its right to suspend or withdraw its services. All vehicles are fitted with CCTV and monitored throughout the service.

Customer Reviews

We had absolutely the best time, it was one of our favourite days during our holiday in SA. Thank you. Our guide for the day Courtney was fabulous, she really looked after us all and was so lovely. The wine tastings were great and we met some lovely people in our group. We would definitely do this trip again on our next visit. - Gill


Excellent experience from start to end. Fantastic guide, wonderful wine farms visited and perfectly co-ordinated. The lunch provided on this experience was perfect and of very good quality. The group we were in was from different parts of the world; this made it very enjoyable and allowed for a very entertaining day. We were so pleased that we chose this particular experience and would certainly do it again in years to come. Brilliant. - Stephen


Wonderful day in Franschoek in small party of people with own tram. Enjoyed the wine tasting at two of the vineyards. Our guide for the day Simon was outstanding. Witty, knowledgeable and an excellent host. He really made our trip special. A few grumbles about the less than slick food service and quality of food at Rickety Bridge meant there is room for improvement on this tour but I would definitely recommend if you want a personalised tour with chance to meet other people. - Stephanie


Not a fan of group tours but LOVED our "Flavours of the Vine Experience" on the Franschhoek Wine Tram! We were only 8 people and they normally only book this tour with up to a maximum of 12 people. Our day tour included a visit to 3 wonderful vineyards with a lovely lunch. I have been to 173 countries and have my favorite guides around the world ... our Wine Tram Guide "SIMON" was a SUPERSTAR! He is definitely one of the best tour guides I have ever encountered on my global adventures. Thanks again for a fab-YOU-lous day! - NIKLAS


Best time ever , I will do it over and over ? Kourteney was best host - Nomathemba
