My husband and I spent a wonderful day with Danelle from La Rochelle tours in Franschhoek. We were lucky enough to have a private tour. Danielle took us to some beautiful wineries, establishing at the outset the kinds of wines we were interested in and types of wineries. She is extremely knowledgeable about the winelands, as well as the wine... More

We went on a half day wine tour with a guide named Alyum (spelling not so sure on) who was without a doubt definately top notch with knowledge about wines! We visited 2 wineries on the half day tour both being on devisors made after asking us what wines we did & didn't like. We were not rushed or pressured... More

We had our tour with Aylmer who was very good company and very knowledgeable, not just about wine but South African history and the history of the region. He really took the tour to another level. We visited 4 wineries I think ( memory is a bit foggy towards the end) and my partner and I had a wonderful time... More

We booked a full-day wine tour via email before leaving the UK and were not disappointed. It turned out we were joined by another couple from our accommodation on the day so there were just the 4 of us on the tour. This worked out very well as it was easy for our guide, Almyer, to work out where to... More

D picked us up and immediately asked what our wine preferences were, before picking up another couple at their hotel. She really seemed to know what we would enjoy the most just by asking us a few questions...and she didn't let us down. We visited two wineries and spent quality time at each, enjoying every wine we tasted, with D... More

We were picked up from our accommodation to find that our group tour was just us. As it was early (9:30am) we were thankfully given a mini-tour around Franschhoek including an introduction to wines in the region. I was a little worried at my lack of wine knowledge (and not being able to hide away in a group), but Danelle... More

We took a wine tour with Aylmer and it was fantastic. We enjoyed the day so much and would highly recommend it. It was a small group and our guide was very knowledgeable and extremely interesting. We visited the wineries on our own but it is not the same as arriving with a guide who tells you everything you want/need... More

Our hosts at the Plumwood Inn, Roel and Lucienne, organized a full day tour of the winelands with www.southafricantraveldesk.com. It absolutely is a must-do you don't want to skip. You have your private driver, we had a very pleasant Norwegian couple that joined us for half a day, so in the afternoon, it was just us and the driver. You... More

Our guide was so friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He was so eager to please and make sure that our entire visit was great. The wineries were really good. Our guide picked us up each... More
