It was a lovely day and...
It was a lovely day and George take good care of us. Also, the agency was responsive to our requests. I recommend the activity. However, despite the fact that the activity mentions that the admission to the estates is included, no admission fee was required. For the tastings there is a separate fee that is not included in the reservation. This beeing said, the activity is a bit overpriced.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much

Wonderful tour!
We had the most wonderful tour with Abel in the Cape Winelands! Throughout the day, he was lovely to talk to and taught us so much about the area. The places we went to were beautiful and we were able to make the tour and timing our own. Highly recommend!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much

Wine Tour Franschoek and Stellenbosch.
Our tour guide was George who was brilliant. Knowledgeable and courteous he made the day extra enjoyable. Great wines and we loved the goats in the tower. Outstanding scenic views. Amazing experience!

Highly Recommended - Fully Personalised Private Wine Farm Tour
We had 4 wine farms in the region that we were interested in, but it seemed that none of the standard tours included all 4, so we chose this customisable private tour, setting them the challenge, even though the wineries we had chosen were somewhat scattered around the region. .. And what a fantastic day we had! Abel was not only highly professional, courteous and very knowledgeable about the area and each farm we visited, he was also great fun to be around for the day, leaving us plenty of time at each farm to enjoy the wines. All we had to do was provide in advance the list of wineries we wanted to see and he organised everything from there.. . We simply stepped out of our accommodation on the day of the tour, Abel was there to meet us and guide us through the day from that point forward. Absolutely the way we wanted to do our tour, with a great guide for the day. Highly recommended, especially if you want a personalised day, without the rush of an organised tour. Perfect for couples who want to leave the worrying to someone else, sit back and enjoy the beautiful scenery and wines of the region.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much

Full Day Winelands Tour With Wine Tasting from Cape Town: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.
How much does Full Day Winelands Tour With Wine Tasting from Cape Town cost?
+
Prices start at R 1,780 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 Winelands Tour With Wine Tasting from Cape Town 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 Winelands Tour With Wine Tasting from Cape Town worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 19 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 Winelands Tour With Wine Tasting 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 Winelands Tour With Wine Tasting from Cape Town 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 Winelands Tour With Wine Tasting from Cape Town?
+
Around 7 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 Winelands Tour With Wine Tasting 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, Hike Table Mountain or Lions Head in Cape Town Like a Local, Cape Point and Boulder's Penguins Full Day Tour. 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.
