Customer Reviews

We booked online in the UK and met the driver at the tourist information centre in town. Marshall our driver for the day collected us on time and we had a fabulous day. Marshall was superb, very friendly and entertaining and an excellent driver. We enjoyed all the vineyards we choose to visit and would definitely recommend the Southern route, we also did another route last time we visited which was just as good. Excellent service. Thank you - Pamela

We had a beautiful day and we can definitely recommend the tour. Our drivers Jerome & Charlson were both really great, and we met some new people and had a lot of fun within the group. We visited 4 of 6 wine estates, which were all really good. All in all it was an amazing experience we won't forget. - Dominik
