Bad experience

Nasty experience booked for 10 of us and we opted to be picked up at a location provided by Viator for 0830 and we arrived 0815 and we were told bus has gone at 0720 We paid for a mini bus to catch up with the train .paid 2000 rands for 20 of us 200 rands each On arrival it got worse booking is very clear for 10 people We were told you paid for 9 I had all.the evidence and emails The ticket operator would not listen had to.purchase tenth ticket This experience was not good with Viator . The wine tasting itself was ok we did not see the way the wine was made I.wouldnt recommend anyone to boom with Viator they are dodgy I need my money back for 10th ticket and need the 2000 rand we paid for taxi as we did not use the bus as agreed on the online booking

A highly recommended day tour

We really enjoyed this day trip to the Winelands. Besides the opportunity to visit various wineries as we pleased, the scenic experience was also impressive. All staff on site were warm and very helpful.

A lovely trip despite the...

A lovely trip despite the bad weather which restricted the wine tasting to be taken indoors. Due to a delay in setting off from our initial pickup point, we missed the first tram/bus which resulted in waiting approximately 40 minutes for the next one. This then made it extremely hard to visit any more than 3 vineyards(we had planned 4). Apart from that, a very enjoyable and good value for money excursion
