Perfect on a rainy day

This was a small group tour, which we really enjoyed. Unfortunately the weather was really bad, but this tour is perfect for those days. Pick up was on time, informative tour guide and he didn't mind to change the plan to suit us. It's worth the money.

Amazing is an understatement!

Nelson was such an amazing tour guide & truly gave us a once in a lifetime experience! I would recommend this multiple times over.

Worth every penny and highly recommend this tour.

Egon was very knowledgeable, friendly and informative. We both thoroughly enjoyed the tour and the wines thanks to him.

Verry good wine area tour

William_P, Aug 2019
Good tour of the Stellenbosch and Paarl wine areas. Enjoyed the 3 tastings and the sights - only spoilt by wet weather. The lunch option (own cost) was offered at a winery selected by the guide and we had expected a few more options from tour advertising - however meal was still very good and held in front of a great log fire. Tour guide was good but spoke a little too much about South Africa's problems for our liking and not the wine areas. Tour stated on time and we were safely returned to our hotel about 8.5 hours later.

Wine Tour

The only complain I have regarding this tour is that the time posted on the voucher was not the time of pick up. Viator needs to coordinate with the tour company in order to post accurate times. The pick up time was actually closer to 9am. Besides that the tour was amazing and our tour guide Nigel did his best to accommodate even those in our tour that did not drink wine.

Private tour. Very knowledgeable and attentive driver/guide James who readily offered insights not only in the wine lands, but also in the culture and society of South Africa. We liked the choice of three quite different wine estates/degustations and the well-timed programme which allowed for individual stops and sufficient time to explore the wineries, as well as the picturesque towns of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek.

I enjoyed going to the wine country and the wineries that were on the itinerary. The tour guide/driver was difficult to understand.
