Traveler reviews
Great Vineyard Tour & Local Stories — Thanks Ray!
Ray was fantastic! He took us to the vineyards in Franschhoek near Cape Town and shared fascinating stories about Cape Town and South African history, which really added to the experience. He also picked us up from the last vineyard, so we didn’t have to take the tram back. Friendly, knowledgeable, and very accommodating — highly recommend Ray.

Wonderful day out in the Cape Winelands
Our family had a fantastic day out in the Winelands. Leticia was an excellent guide who took so good care of us. Even the kids enjoyed the day as there was something for everyone. We had wine tasting at the wine estates we visited which were very well recommended by Leticia. The kids enjoyed the stop at Lion Park and even saw Chimpanzees. They also had a photo in front of the prison with Nelson Mandela. Thank you Kabura for a beautiful day.
