The best way to spend a day in Stellenbosch!

Beth_P, Jul 2025
This is a very special tour that was appropriate for my whole family (I have two teenagers). The history was interesting. The views were great. The wine and chocolate were truly enjoyable and, best of all, our Tour Guide, Sevo, was fantastic!

Fun morning in Stellenbosch

Great tour of Stellenbosch. We enjoyed the history and both winery visits. The first winery stop included a wonderful chocolate pairing with the wines - who doesn’t enjoy chocolate and wine for breakfast?! Kyle was a great guide.

Great trip!

Interesting facts and places in Stellenbosch-short ride out to 2 vineyards with tastings and relaxing. Very enjoyable.

So much fun!

Aroha_M, Jan 2024
Sav was an awesome guide! Knowledgeable and friendly. I am a novice on a bike and it was perfect for me. Not too hard. Highly recommend this tour.

A fantastic way to see Stellenbosch

Chris_B, Aug 2023
We had a great morning with our guide, who was very knowledgeable about the town and the area, two fantastic tastings, and the bikes were a fantastic way to see some of the amazing Stellenbosch countryside.

A must do tour of Stellenbosch

Lisa_T, Jan 2023
Sevi our guide was absolutely brilliant. So knowledgeable about the history and the area. Also great with the bikes if we had any problems. The tastings, the scenery were top class. What I would say is turn up in the right gear for mountain biking. It was quite tough at times, a few hills etc so if you are a regular biker no problem but if not particularly fit or adventurous I wouldn’t do it.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Thank you for the nice review. Glad you enjoyed the tour. This tour is relatively easy to do and we had elderly people and young kids of 8 and 9 years do it without assistance but if you are not up to it, you could always add the e-bike option.

Enjoyable day with wine tasting

George_P, Jan 2023

What a beautiful way to spend...

Anja S, Feb 2018
What a beautiful way to spend Valentine's Day. This guided bike tour of Stellenbosch deserves its 5 star rating for sooo many reasons. Our bikes were in good shape. Our guide was super nice, knowledgable and flexible based on our interests. I haven't had coffee that morning...so we made a quick stop at a great coffee shop. Truly enjoyed the two wineries and all of it that came with it.

A very enjoyable tour. Tayne was...

Alan B, Feb 2016
A very enjoyable tour. Tayne was very informative on the history of Stellenbosch and also, all the delicious wines we tasted. The bike ride not too strenuous the perfect way to see Stellenbosch.

Relaxed bike ride, nice wineries

astrid_d, Mar 2026
Relaxed bike ride through Stellenbosch, e bike highly recommended because many false flat to the wineries. Distances really not far. No more activity for true sports enthusiasts for people who want to alternate the sporty with the pleasant.

Thank you for the review. Glad you enjoyed the Guided Historic biek tour of Stellenbosch with us.For those wanting to do more of a cycling day, you could book the Boschendal ride or Franschhoek ride. Both have amazing views but less stops en route and more cycling.

Trevlig historisk cykelvinprovning.

Johan_G, Jan 2024
Duktig guide som först gav en historisk cykeltur genom Stellenbosch. Sedan lagom med cykling till två finfina vingårdar.

De gids die wij hadden met de fietstocht wist veel te vertellen van de stad. Daarbij waren de wijnproeverijen erg lekker en gezellig

Erg leuke tour

Wijbricht_B, Nov 2022
Erg leuk, kleine groep en veel informatie. Lekker wijn in combinatie met chocolade. Mooie combinatie tussen stadje en omgeving.
