Dreamlike day
Our day with our guide Leon was just fantastic. We were picked up at the hotel on time and already on the way to the first winery Leon told us an incredible amount of exciting things about South Africa – things you won’t find in any guidebook. The first stop was the Spier winery, where we enjoyed a wonderful wine tasting. The property is beautifully located, with a small lake and lots of nature that invites you to walk and linger. Afterwards we continued to the Rust en Vrede winery. There we tasted three excellent red wines and enjoyed an incredibly tender fillet with Pepper Crust – a real culinary highlight. Finally we visited Delaire Graff. Here we were impressively shown why this winery is known not only for its excellent red wines, but also worldwide for its diamonds. Afterwards we went back to the hotel. We thank Leon from the bottom of our hearts for this breathtaking day. If we had already known how great this tour is when planning our trip, we would definitely have booked more tours with Leon!
Response from the operator: thank you for your feedback. we are grateful for every opportunity to serve. we take your comments seriously and will continue striving for excellence. may God bless you.

Full-Day Franschhoek Hop On Hop Off Wine Tram Tour from Cape Town: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.
How much does Full-Day Franschhoek Hop On Hop Off Wine Tram Tour from Cape Town cost?
+
Prices start at $2000 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 Franschhoek Hop On Hop Off Wine Tram Tour from Cape Town take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Franschhoek Hop On Hop Off Wine Tram Tour from Cape Town worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Franschhoek Hop On Hop Off Wine Tram Tour from Cape Town?
+
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 Franschhoek Hop On Hop Off Wine Tram Tour from Cape Town suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full-Day Franschhoek Hop On Hop Off Wine Tram Tour from Cape Town?
+
Around 1 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-Day Franschhoek Hop On Hop Off Wine Tram Tour from Cape Town 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.
