Customer Reviews

Lots of fun for parents and children! - Delia Robertson

Brilliant service, friendly staff and incredibly efficient - Josh Markowitz

We had a great time on the Yellow Line of the Franschhoek Wine Tram. The staff were helpful and friendly, providing the clarity we needed and enabling us to make the most of our experience. The staff at the various wine farms were brilliant. The sommeliers were knowledgable -- not only about their wines but generally about the region and the farms in the area -- and they contributed enormously to our positive experience. - Barbara Briggs-Davies

Yet again a awesome experience , our guide on the way back was a absolute gem , wish I remembered his name but he was brilliant , great engagement with the customers and great suggestions on what to do or drink at some of the farms , truly loved his enthusiasm - Quintin Koegelenberg

I can recommend it to all that wants to know. The service was excellent. Everyone was very friendly and patient. Train/bus was on time and that was really nice. - Vanessa Van Biljon
