    Very disappointed at lack of response and services c

    Confirmation #: 1787845431 Booking Reference #: 1405455825 I made inquiries and provisionally booked a ride for pickups for a hop on hop off wine tour. When I could not confirm a special pick up service, I cancelled the reservation. The operator went ahead and charged me anyway without any service rendered. I want to be refunded for this charge. I am a disabled pensioner and don’t care to be treated this way. I have been a member of Trip Advisor throughout the world since 2012. This is just not right. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you Sanet Lane Halck Please view communications below Vine Hopper: Hop-On Hop-Off Wine Tour - Northern Route Jun 10 • 10:50 AM • 2 Adults Edit bookingNeed more help?  Message the tour operator Open:Mon - Fri 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM (South Africa Standard Time) 7 Days Ago Sanet Lane-Halck 03:01 PM Hello - can we be collected at Paardevlei Life Style Estate, in Somerset West?

We cancelled the day.

    Response from the operator: Dear Sanet. First of all, you booked the tour through a 3rd party Viator, when you make a booking with Viator, the money gets taken by them automatically. As you decided to cancel due to extra collection charge in Somerset west, which is a neibouring town and not in our free collection area, you stated that you have cancelled it, and we accepted it. As explained to you multiple times, you need to CANCEL the tour through the booking agent VIATOR, as they have your money. They would have refunded you immediately once you have cancelled it with them. There was no lack of communication. Please see communication below, explaining that you need to CANCEL with VIATOR. Jun 9, 2026, 09:50 AM Adventure shop Stellenbosch. Dear Sanet. Thank you for the message. You have booked through a 3rd party called Viator. You should cancel the booking with them. We can only reply to the messages they sent to us. Please cancel your booking with Viator. Sanet Lane-Halck Sanet Lane-Halck Jun 9, 2026, 11:54 AM I cancelled the booking on 6 June, 2026. Please refund me the full amount. You had no right to process the payment. Adventureshop Jun 9, 2026, 12:21 PM Dear Sanet, we as the tour operator do not have your money, Viator has your money. You made the booking with them and therefore need to cancel the booking through them. It doesn't cancel the booking if you write a message here. You need to go into your booking ID and cancel the booking. My sincere apology for the inconvenience. You need to cancel this directly with them and they will refund you. I feel it is very unfair of you to give us a 1 star rating which really affects our fantastic ratings with Tripadvisor for something we did not do and have no control over! We tried to help you multiple times but you do not want to listen to our advice.

    Great informative tour, and mighty crack.

    This was a great way to spend a full day travelling around wineries in the Stellenbosch wineries area. We got to see 5 of the 7 main wineries and sample their wines, although I am not a drinker, I really enjoyed the tour and was in awe of the fantastic setting of each winery and the scenery surroundings. Well worth a visit, even for a non drinker like myself.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for the review. Greta that you enjoye dyour day with us even though you are not a wine drinker. I agree the settings of the farms are spectacular!

    A must do trip

    We started our wine tour from Stellenbosch town centre at 12. Our driver, Marchall, explained how the wine tour worked. We picked the northern route, which covered 6 vineyards and you could pick which ones you got off at. As we were later starting we picked 3: Delheim, Leivland and Remhoogte. At Delheim you could have a 5 wine taster and the staff were great at explaining about the wines. At Leivland you could have 5 or 3 wine tasters, we did 3 and a meat & cheese platter. The grounds here were stunning and we had a lovely lady tell us all about the wines. At Remhoogte we shared their 5 wine taster. It was a fantastic experience and Marchall was funny, friendly and full of information. Loved it!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for teh review. Glad you enjoyed your day with us and Marchall as your driver!

    Fantastic Wine tour with Marshall of Northern Route

    Fantastic wine tour of the Northern Route in Stellenbosch. Marshall picked us up from our hotel in Stellenbosch and was a very friendly and informative guide. We stopped off at our three chosen vineyards - Simonsig, Delheim and Remhoogte. All were fabulous and we had a charcuterie at Delheim with stunning views down to Table Mountain. Would highly recommend this tour - it was one of the best days on our two week trip to South Africa. Thanks again Marshall! John and Maria.

    Response from the operator: Thanks John and Maria Glad you enjoyed your day with Marchll on the Vine Hopper!

    We had a great tour with Marchell on the Northern route, best by far is Delheim the views were amazing and wines even better! Thank Marchell for getting us back to Spier Farm. Highly recommend.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for the positive review. Marchall will be pleased. Hope to see you again on one of our other Vinehopper routes.

    Vine Hopper: Hop-On Hop-Off Wine Tour - Northern Route: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Stellenbosch.

    How much does Vine Hopper: Hop-On Hop-Off Wine Tour - Northern Route cost?

    +

    Prices start at $28 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Stellenbosch usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Vine Hopper: Hop-On Hop-Off Wine Tour - Northern Route 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 Stellenbosch is not rushed.

    Is Vine Hopper: Hop-On Hop-Off Wine Tour - Northern Route worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 71 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Stellenbosch, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Vine Hopper: Hop-On Hop-Off Wine Tour - Northern Route?

    +

    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 Vine Hopper: Hop-On Hop-Off Wine Tour - Northern Route 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 Vine Hopper: Hop-On Hop-Off Wine Tour - Northern Route?

    +

    Around 25 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 Stellenbosch 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 Stellenbosch and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Vine Hopper: Hop-On Hop-Off Wine Tour - Northern Route 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 Stellenbosch 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 Stellenbosch?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Stellenbosch experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cape Town Wine Tour: Stellenbosch & Franschhoek +Tastings & Lunch, Full Day Afrivista Wine Tours from Stellenbosch, Stellenbosch Wine Tractor hop-on-hop off wine tasting 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 Stellenbosch?

    +

    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 Stellenbosch?

    +

    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.

    What is included in Vine Hopper: Hop-On Hop-Off Wine Tour - Northern Route?

    +

    Included: Hop-on hop-off tour in air conditioned minivan; and Hotel pickup and drop-off in Stellenbosch area. Not included: Wine tastings payable at farms that you choose to visit (Aproximately R25-R50 per farm); and Food and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    What languages is Vine Hopper: Hop-On Hop-Off Wine Tour - Northern Route offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Vine Hopper: Hop-On Hop-Off Wine Tour - Northern Route?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Vine Hopper: Hop-On Hop-Off Wine Tour - Northern Route wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Vine Hopper: Hop-On Hop-Off Wine Tour - Northern Route if the weather is bad?

    +
