“Positive: Great Tour! Samantha was the best guide. Love the extra info she shared about the pepper trees and other tid bits. Loved her energy! Negative: Payment System!!! I made the payment on Thursday yet, they still had it as "pax to pay" and I really didn't appreciate the way they dealt with THEIR error.”

4.Franschhoek Wine Tram & Boschendal Wine Farm Experience

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 22 reviews · from $106

From central Cape Town, your guide drives you into the Franschhoek Valley, then sets you loose on the hop-on hop-off Wine Tram. Visit Boschendal, taste two included wines, and choose extra estates, lunch, walks, or cellar visits. Guides such as Super can tailor the day, but food and extra drinks cost more.

“Excellent way to combine the usual wine tasting with something different and fun. I'd recommend the purple route if you want to spend more time on the tram. We had an excellent guide and so were able to personalize our trip to focus on things that interested us such as the galleries and buildings.”
