    Lovely way to enjoy the vineyards.

    Cath_C, May 2025
    Cycling is a really fantastic way to see the vineyards and try some wines. Abie our guide could not have been better, informative, fun and encouraging. Well maintained bikes and not a challenging ride.

    Response from Host, May 2025

    Absolutely Stunning Views

    This was our best time in Cape Town (so far) - and I would 100% recommend this for anyone that can ride a bike. Mike took us on the most scenic route through neighborhoods, farms, and vineyards. The tastings were great as well. This is the only way to experience wine country.

    Response from Host, Feb 2024

    We are so glad you to have been a highlight experience of your trip, Ryan. It was a pleasure sharing the day with you both and sharing wonderful stories. All the best with all your exciting projects back home!

    A wonderful bike ride in wine country

    Matt was an excellent guide. He picked us up from our Cape Town hotel and drove us out to Franschhoek, pointing out landmarks and, as we got closer, vineyards. He gave us a brief history of winemaking in South Africa, and led us on thick-tired bikes on trails between stunning vineyards with mountains on both sides. I wasn’t feeling too well that day, so I went back and rested in the car after one wine tasting (which Matt was very willing to accommodate), and my son and Matt spent the rest of the morning biking. I highly recommend this tour.

    Response from Host, Apr 2020

    Thanks so much for the fantastic review, much appreciated. I'm so glad you were at least able to enjoy part of the tour and that your son was able to explore more of the valley. I hope you enjoyed your safari in Kruger and now remaining safe at home during this time. Hope to see back in Cape Town in the future!
