The guide made the trip! Basel was telling us so much about Sourh African history much more things than just things about wine. The train trip was nice, the shuttle nice, the wine tasting was nice. A perfect day outside Cape Town!

Excellent time on this excursion. Our guide was helpful, we had a good group considering we all came from different backgrounds and language barriers. Wines were nice. The cheese/wine was my favorite. Marianne is very pretty though.

We had a lovely time with Danny (Our guide). We learned a lot from our guide about Cape Town and the surrounding towns. The wine tour was a absolute blast. Would recommend it to everyone!

We NEED to talk about this tram: You sit on the tram, it takes you to wine. You get back on the tram, it takes you to more wine. FOREVER. An absolute perfect start to our South African adventure – Super was the name of our guide: a very well-informed, articulate and affable man who made excellent company. I can not recommend this venture into the wine countries enough – gorgeous views, gorgeous wine, gorgeous weather!
