What an incredible experience. All staff were knowledgeable and friendly. - Anrika Joubert
Nice experience... - Göran Olofsson
Excellent! - Marie Fox
Doing the wine tram is one of the best experiences you can do! Professional and well planned routes stopping at the best wine farms. The guides are all friendly and helpful. The trams are always in great condition. The most difficult decision you'll have to make on the day is which farms you want to visit and how long you should stay. This is a must do experience! - Francois Malan
