Time management

The experience was amazing and we had fun. My only concern was the time management wasn’t so good as we wanted to atleast visit 4 wine estates we end up with 3 because the time wasn’t enough for an entire day

Absolutely loved the...

Absolutely loved the Franschhoek Hop-On Hop-Off Wine Tram! Definitely one of the highlights of my Cape Town trip. The wine estates were beautiful, and the communication from the drivers and staff was great. The only downside was that it wasn’t communicated that some route lines aren’t available on Sundays-we only saw the green line on our tickets. Otherwise, we had an amazing time and would definitely recommend the experience!

A great day out even for a child!

I can’t fault our day out! It was so well organised, staff were on hand to answer any questions and give us recommendations based on our circumstances. I was also very impressed with the level of service in that we were originally booked to do the trip on the Sunday but our daughter had been very ill the night before and we didn’t think we could get her on the coach and tram for the day, I emailed and the team came back pretty much straight away and offered to change it to the Monday. It was all so easy and we really appreciated this as we would simply not have enjoyed the Sunday as much had we not been able to change so I thank you for your flexibility and also the speedy responses, it honestly helped make our trip that much more care free and enjoyable. The wineries we visited were all well presented and you had a wide selection, my 11 year old thinks she got treated like a queen with the kiddie options also! Thank you so much, we have recommended this day to anyone who hasn’t yet been.
