It was a good experience. A lil short but it was nice - Be on time. Ensure that you don’t miss any of the stops to have/enjoy a full day. Dress up comfortable if the weather says it will be hot

Great way to taste estate wines in a beautiful area - All went well from the bus in Cape Town to the tram and bus in Franschoek. The wineries were really nine and had beautiful vistas.

Beautiful day out - Great day out. Family friendly. Everything was run on time. A good amount of time was allowed between pick ups from the wineries by the bus and tram. The wineries were beautiful and so was the scenery. Perfect weather helped. Wine was lovely. If you want to eat lunch at the winery the make sure you reserve a table. They get very busy.
The coach back to Cape Town was very comfortable and had wifi.

Great fun way to taste fabulous wines - This trip is such good fun. The tram or bus (it depends which vineyards you wish to visit ) drops you off and comes back precisely one hour later to pick you up.
The buses are super punctual so it works like clockwork.
Each vineyard gives you a choice of wines and tasty snacks to accompany the wines. All for a bargain price of less than £10 per head per vineyard. Many of the vineyards are in really beautiful locations - so even if you’re not drinking it’s a really nice way to see outside the city if you’re visiting Cape Town.

Our Franschoek wine tram day 💕 - This was a great experience. Do take your own money along, as you pay for your tastings at the different estates. The time in-between the pick up is rushed though, it's impossible to finish all the 6 or 7 assigned estates in 1 day. A wholesome and lovely experience.

Wine Country Tour Ride - This is basically just a transport. You make your own wine tasting experience. It.was nice to experience it, but it's just a ride to wine country.
