The most amazing wine tour of my life
We booked Kembo for a full day wine tour that was fantastic! We visited three amazing vineyards, Lamont (out standing); Thela, and finally Oldenberg where we had the most amazing wine sommelier experience Thambo. Along the way Kbo enlightened is with pointing out Baboons, adorable villages and even the prison where Nelson Mandela was held. He was knowledgeable, professional. And just a dream come true guide. We learned he also was a multinational land guide and shared many helpful educational tips. So many may worry about spending souch money in a foreign country with a tour- you are in great hands with Kembo And Itchy Feet tours! You will have zero regrets. Book with complete confidence.

Itchy Feet Safaris
Absolutely everything was beyond our expectations. Our guide Kembo had great knowledge and was an excellent driver. He made sure we were comfortable and being a photographer knew where to park to get the best shots. He was great fun and we thoroughly enjoyed our two days with him- joining him to go to the CApe as well. If we were going back again we would prebook his services.

Most beautiful winery tour ever!
Kembo took us to the most beautiful vineyard we’d ever seen! I can’t imagine a better tour guide. Kembo is kind, polite, knowledgeable and fun to be with. His English is impeccable and I found it very easy to understand all of his words.

Wine with a dash of cheese
We booked a private wine tour for two where our guide, Mischek, took us to three wine tastings in each of the major wine regions in Cape Town. We did not feel rushed. The experience felt personal and especially at the first winery, there weren’t a lot of people. Each winery had its own character and fun experience with the wine tasting.

Festive season holiday travel.
We had the pleasure of traveling with Itchy Feet Tours and Safaris for three days over the festive season, exploring different tours. From the seamless booking process to the exceptional travel experience, everything was perfectly arranged. Our guide, Kembo, was outstanding—thoughtful, knowledgeable, and incredibly insightful. Thanks to the pre-purchased fast-track tickets, we skipped long queues, making the journey even more enjoyable. Every detail was meticulously organized. Thank you, Itchy Feet Tours and Safaris, for an unforgettable experience!

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full Day Cape Winelands Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.
How much does Full Day Cape Winelands Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $155 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cape Town usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full Day Cape Winelands Private Tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cape Town is not rushed.
Is Full Day Cape Winelands Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cape Town, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Cape Winelands Private Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Full Day Cape Winelands Private Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Cape Winelands Private Tour?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cape Town can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cape Town and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Cape Winelands Private Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cape Town within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cape Town?
+
On Outty we rank every Cape Town experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cape Town: Lion's Head Sunrise/Sunset Hike, Ocean Wildlife Encounter in Cape Town, Private Full Day Stellenbosch Wine Tour with Pick Up and Drop Off. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cape Town?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cape Town?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
