Another superb day with Ian around the Cape
We did the penguins et al. with Ian 2 years ago and had such a fab time and experience that we had no hesitation jn booking with him again, his time to the Cape Winelands. Ian is not the cheapest around but he is excellent - a local man, intelligent, full of essential information and willing to answer any question both openly and honestly. Additionally, Ian provides an excellent on-board commentary and is fluent in both English and Africaans. A late cancellation on the day meant that we had a private tour which was totally tailored to our agenda. This being said, Ian bases his tariffs on small groups so that he can personalise the experience for all guests to a great degree. Pre-excursion communication by email was highly effective and we had a prompt pick-up as agreed at 8.30 am at our hotel. We discussed our ideal day with him and off we went to the winelands. As it was early, an early morning alcohol tasting was not considered so we proceeded to De Villiers for chocolate tasting which was fabulous with at least 30 different flavours and types to taste = imposssible not to buy some to take home so we did. De Villiers also brews beer but we declined the pairing although others might wish to do both - all included in the price! Our first wine tasting was at the Fairview estate in Franschoeck. We preferred all white wine tastings and Ian negotiated this with staff and it was an excellent session with 5 different whites paired with 5 different cheeses - lovely and again included in the price.We told Ian that we liked to view gardens so next we strolled around Babylonstoren - a fine collection of craft shops, dairy, chocolatier, butchers shop and restaurant in addtion to beautifully laid out gardens.This was a lovely segment enjoyed in beautiful sunshine in a lovely setting.We slotted in a 2nd tasting before lunch at La Lude, a lovely boutique winery and restaurant where we again enjoyed an all white wine tasting in beautiful surroundings out in the garden area. As we had an evening dinner reservation booked we asked for a simple lunch venue and we settled on Tuc Tuc in Franshoeck where we all chose from a bistro type menu which we enjoyed outside. After lunch we proceeded to Stellenbosch, a major university town with many historic buildings.We did a tour of the town in the vehicle before parking up and undertaking the Village Museum tour which included 3 main houses each staffed by "in character" staff who provided historical background and answered any questions.As a history lover I really enjoyed this "how they used to live" segment the cost of which was again included. After re-joining our transport we proceeded to our final wine tasting at the lovely Tokara estate. Three excellent whites were tasted in idyllic, panoramic surroundings overlooking Stellenbosch. We could have stayed here all day but unfortunately it was time to set off back to Cape Town as our day with Ian was drawing to a close. We made our farewells with Ian at 5.30 pm after a brilliant day out. Considering the quality of product and everything which was included (only lunch is at your own expense) the tour provided superb value for money. Ian and African Moon Adventures are recommended without reservation and we will be certainly seeing Ian again when we return to the area,
Response from the operator: Wow what a brilliant and in depth review. I am so grateful that you took the time to leave such a detailed review. It was so nice to have the Kurylec's back in Cape Town and being able to spend another day with you on tour in the beautiful Cape. I am penciling in your next visit and excited to show you more of the Cape. Until we meet again. Ian

Wonderful Day Tour!
If you are interested in a wine tasting tour LOOK NO FURTHER! I highly recommend African Moon Adventures. Ian was an awesome tour guide in every way. He was friendly, flexible, professional and very informative. His van was very clean and he was a safe driver. He took us to this beautiful restaurant for lunch where we sat outside which added to our experience. One thing that I did appreciate was that after our full day and on our way back to the hotel he just let us relax quietly. Not to say he ignored us but just let my husband, adult daughter and myself chill. I've been on other tours where the guide rarely stopped taking which can get a bit tiresome. Again, I would hire African Moon Tours for any of the tours he offers!
Response from the operator: Wow thank you so much Annamaria for taking the time and leaving such a beautiful review for me. It was a lovely day with you, Olivia & Jim. Trust to see you all back in Cape Town one day soon.

Winelands Day Trip
The owner operator, Ian, was prompt, polite, and informative. The van was immaculately clean. He was very flexible, offering several suggestions and altering the schedule based on feedback. All told, it was an excellent way to see part of the area around Cape Town.
Response from the operator: I do apologise for late response. Thank you so much for your positive review. Much appretiated. All the best! Ian

Wine Tasting, Cape Dutch Farm and Art Day Tour from Cape Town: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.
How much does Wine Tasting, Cape Dutch Farm and Art Day Tour from Cape Town cost?
+
Prices start at $935 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 Wine Tasting, Cape Dutch Farm and Art Day Tour 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 Wine Tasting, Cape Dutch Farm and Art Day Tour 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 5 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 Wine Tasting, Cape Dutch Farm and Art Day 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 Wine Tasting, Cape Dutch Farm and Art Day Tour from Cape Town suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Wine Tasting, Cape Dutch Farm and Art Day Tour from Cape Town?
+
Around 2 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 Wine Tasting, Cape Dutch Farm and Art Day 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 of Good Hope and Boulders Penguins Day Tour from Cape Town, Table Mountain, Boulders Penguins and Cape point Day Tour, Wine Tour: Paarl, Franschhoek & Stellenbosch incl 3 wineries. 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.
