Tour by Ordain Always the Best
This is the second time touring Capetown with Ordain and to be honest he is always pleasant, very engaging and accomodating. Goes above and beyond his scope..He focuses on ensuring that his guests totally enjoy their trip..What i will remember this time round is the local food from a restaurant he took us to where every bite was amazing...and he also took me paragliding which was an amazing experience...Book Ordain any day, he is such a gentleman..
Response from the operator: Yes Feigh Thank you so much for coming to visit Cape Town again . What can I do if you not visiting. Thank also for bringing all your beautiful and excited friends. You were an amazing group. Come back again miss you already.

Great peninsula and wine testing tour with Ordzin.
I use to do several tours with Ordain. He is a great guide, the bus is new and very condortable. This time we did in 2 days a peninsula tour and wine testing in an other way and always in a safe environment. I strongly recomend Ordain for a family, friends tour, even professional as the bus has enough seat for a small group. Thanks again Ordain,
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for coming along and also for your trust in me . I also enjoyed your company which is as natural as observed between members of the same family. Continue to be a blessing to all tour guides and leave them with sweet memorable life lessons.

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Stellenbosch Franschhoek Full-Day Tour with Cheese Tasting: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.
How much does Stellenbosch Franschhoek Full-Day Tour with Cheese Tasting cost?
+
Prices start at R 1,000 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 Stellenbosch Franschhoek Full-Day Tour with Cheese Tasting 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 Stellenbosch Franschhoek Full-Day Tour with Cheese Tasting worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 17 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 Stellenbosch Franschhoek Full-Day Tour with Cheese Tasting?
+
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 Stellenbosch Franschhoek Full-Day Tour with Cheese Tasting 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 Stellenbosch Franschhoek Full-Day Tour with Cheese Tasting?
+
Around 6 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 Stellenbosch Franschhoek Full-Day Tour with Cheese Tasting 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.
