I did the Blue line - Tram Trip and absolutely loved it! The whole experience was very well-organized and ran on time, with friendly and helpful staff making the journey smooth. Each winery stop offered breathtaking views, and the tastings were fantastic and affordable. A truly memorable experience – highly recommended for anyone visiting the area! 🍷🚋🌿

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.

The day was fantastic the wine tour itself was great but had issues with pick up at the pick up point the driver never turned up so had to get a uber to the terminal and they were supposed to to explain how the day proceed but nobody did and had to work it out by ourselves and help from others on our tour so they could improve on those things but otherwise a fantastic day

Thank you for your feedback.
We’re sorry to hear about the difficulty with the pickup. Our Franschhoek Wine Tram Tour operates from designated pickup locations, and a reminder with the details is sent the day prior to the tour. We’re sorry you missed the bus at your pickup location, but we’re glad to hear that you still enjoyed the tour overall.
We appreciate your comments about providing clearer information at the start of the tour and will share this with our team. We hope to welcome you back on board another tour soon.

I really enjoyed this your and the concept of exploring the wineries via a hop on hop off tram and bus is fantastic! It was well organised on the day and worked seamlessly. There was a good range of wineries to visit and the wineries were well prepared for the tram.
I would have liked more details in advance, as it is even hard to follow in the actual website. Each stop is for one hour. The maximum wineries (for our line and timetable) was four, though three was more like the reality. Knowing this in advance, and which wineries are tram vs bus, you could do a bit more research and plan your day.

This is a truely fun day and well organised. You can do as many wine tastings as time permits or simply sit under beautiful trees and enjoy some wine at only a few wine farms. Just keep at eye on the time.

Well organised and fun way to explore the valley. The tram ride itself was enjoyable and staff were friendly. However, despite requesting the Pink Line by email, we were booked on the Navy Line and couldn’t change on the day, which limited the vineyards we could visit. Tip: double-check you’re on the right line for the wineries you want.
Also, to really enjoy tastings and lunch, you can realistically do only about 3 vineyards (first stop around 10:30am, last bus back about 4:30pm). Overall a great concept, but planning is key.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you for your review. We’re glad you enjoyed the experience and our friendly team. Please note that the Franschhoek Wine Tram currently operates only the Navy Line, while other lines, including the Pink Line, run seasonally. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again on our City Sightseeing tours.

Eat breakfast at home, because the shop at the station does not even have ready made sandwiches, only muffins. They offer sandwiches, but if you stay and wait for your sandwich, you will miss the first Tram. Time is very tight.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and of course the tips about eating breakfast at home for future travellers.
