About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- kaymatters0 contributionsExcellent serviceStrongly recommend this tour provider. Our wine guide Eileen was simply the best - she was knowledgeable, very cooperative, and friendly. I wish all tour guides took a lesson from her.Written December 10, 2024
- Jamesofbarra0 contributionsGreat all aroundDud this twin years ago and loved it. Went away. Lovely time, great service, quality product, and Pamela our guide was delightfulWritten September 22, 2024
- Morel110 contributionsWine tour Cape TownGorgeous day beautiful food and wine Thank you Eileen our lovely tour guide who was very knowledgeable about the wines and great company for the day highly recommend the wine tour MorelWritten April 12, 2024
- angie m0 contributionsTry something different in beautiful surroundingsHad a great day out travelling around the wineries tasting the new and unexpected. Our guide was a wonderful host for the day and we thoroughly enjoyed her company. I was a bit apprehensive about having too much, and I'm definitely not a spittoon gal (sacrilege!!) , but this tour is well paced, enough so that I felt OK to indulge with more at lunch. We were also very lucky that our tour ended up being private too. I learned quite a bit, tasted things I enjoyed that I didn't expect to, seen some beautiful scenery and had some great food. We bought a few bottles as we went, but didn't feel any pressure to purchase. They all made it home safely with no casualties in the luggage as we bought some little padded sleeves to protect them. Really enjoyed our day and felt it was great value for all that we visited and tasted. Was definitely a bonus to have a knowledgeable guide and driver so you can taste as much or as little as you fancyWritten April 3, 2024
- Rachel S0 contributionsA lovely introduction to South African winelandsWillem gave us a lovely day out , visiting 4 different wineries, all with their own different stories to tell, different wine styles and beautiful locations. He's both knowledgeable and fun. I thoroughly recommend this tour, or contacting him to arrange a more personalised trip , but it's worth taking his advice rather than saying exactly where you want to visitWritten March 15, 2024
- hchissell0 contributionsThe best wine tasting tourWe were collected by Eileen punctually and found we were the only two people on the tour that day. Eileen asked us about our expectations and took us to 3 wineries during the day. At each of the beautiful wineries she selected a series of wines making sure there was at least one less usual wine choice per winery. We had a lovely lunch at the Mont Marie restaurant between wineries 2 and 3. The knowledge of the staff at the wineries and Eileen’s experience really made the day for us. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone.Written February 24, 2024
- RosieRosieS0 contributionsFabulous Day TripWe ended up having a very personal experience with one other lovely couple for the day. We were picked up in Cape Town by Willem who assisted us with our luggage as we were moving to a hotel in Stellenbosch. The selected wineries were really beautiful, with fabulous wine and a cheese pairing at L’Avenir where we were also taken on a tour of the cellar. The lunch location was appalling service waiting >30mins to even get table water, but to no fault of the tour operator. Had a fantastic day and would be sure to go with Willem again if we are back in the region.Written February 19, 2024
- ray66rus0 contributionsGreat wines and a great guideThe tour was amazing. Excellent places, excellent wines and, of course, an excellent guide. There were only two of us on the tour this time, so in fact it turned to be a private tour for the price of a group one :) The wineries were selected according to our tastes and it was a one hundred percent hit. Especially we liked the tasting with the cheese pairing in L'Avenir winery. To bottom line it, the tour was totally according to what was advertised - custom-tailored tour on the small family-owned wineries with a friendly and knowledgeable guide. I will definitely recommend it to all my friends who goes two South Africa and interested in wines.Written February 19, 2024
- Adehess0 contributionsA day out to rememberA magnificent day out. Our guide George was great company and really.informative. The vineyard locations were spectacular. Variation and quality of the wines was superb. The wine and cheese match up was a particular highlight. Small group tours for the best experienceWritten February 4, 2024
- Vivian R0 contributionsAmazing experienceEileen was a really competent guide, she was explaining all about stellenbosch and choose amazing vineyards. We loved so much I would 100% recommend her. It suppose to be a small group and surprisingly it becomes a private tour as it was just me and two friends. The wines and the explanations were amazing.Written January 9, 2024
- johnboy537y0 contributionsStellenbosch wine tastingExpected the day to be with a group but ended up as a private personal tour for my wife and me. Wow what a fantastic day. Our fabulous guide George Green made the day so perfect with his knowledge and great Conversation. The wines we tasted and the Venues were terrific. Lunch at the Mont Marie brilliant. Thank you for a great day.Written January 6, 2024
- Camper609645520550 contributionsFantastic experience and tour guideThis was our first wine tour and our tour guide, George, was absolutely fantastic, he was very welcoming and immediately put us at ease. He was exceptionally knowledgeable about the wine industry and we learned so much. The wine farms that he chose were very unique and not your mainstream farms. We would highly recommend George for his friendly and vibey attitude and knowledge and experience in the industry and in Cape Town in general.Written December 29, 2023
- Lamby A0 contributionsStunning scenery, beautiful wines & the best tour guide. What a day to be had!This was an amazing experience & led expertly by our guide George through the Stellenbosch region. He was extremely knowledgeable & the banter just flowed, we had an absolute ball from talking through different wines, varietals to cricket & rugby.... George is the host with the most! The wineries themselves, spectacular! The wines, beautiful & lunch was perfect. In comparison to other wine tours in the region & elsewhere, hands down the best experience to date.Written November 12, 2023
- Jazzer600 contributionsPerfect in every wayAbsolutely outstanding tour. We have travelled extensively and can say this is most definitely one of our best trips ever. Eileen our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and great company. We are not normally wine drinkers but got to understand the history from Eileen and enjoyed our tastings sessions at some beautiful wineries. The scenery was spectacular. Only the 4 of us on the trip so turned out to be a private tour. Can’t recommended this enough .Written November 5, 2023
- PamperPrincesses0 contributionsWould definitely recommendWe were picked up from our hotel by Eileen , our guide for the day - she was brilliant , friendly, very knowledgeable and good company. We visited several vineyards and had a lovely lunch . The location and scenery were amazing ( we had a lovely sunny day which was a bonus). Although not wine connoisseurs we thoroughly enjoyed the day and would definitely recommend this trip . Again thanks to Eileen who made the trip informal , fun and very interesting.Written November 5, 2023

My partner and I traveled with Tsiba Tsiba on their private wine tour in mid-April. We had a marvelous day sampling wines in the Stellenbosch area. Guide/driver Willem selected vineyards that offered both wines that we knew we liked as well as some new ones to us. We enjoyed the whole experience, and learned about South African culture along with wine. The scenery in the mountains was spectacular, and we had a good lunch as well. I recommend this trip for anyone interested in wines; it was a good value in my opinion, and I will tell anyone I know coming to this area to book this trip.

This was a great tour and one we were able to select the wineries to visit. Colleen was an excellent guide. She was very knowledgeable and engaged with the 6 of us friends on the tour. Colleen’s knowledge of South African wines and current events was very impressive and welcomed by our group. Everyone really enjoyed the day.

We have done winery tours all over the world and it doesn't get better than Willem Swanepoel at Tsiba Tsiba. It wasn't just the carefully curated selection of wineries and the incredible good food and conversation along the way. Willem knew everyone we visited by first name and doors opened everywhere. We tasted vintage port at Muratie and they let us into their library to taste older vintages. I wanted to buy some of their 1998 vintage port but we were off to Kruger the next day and I didn't want to haul it along. Willem arranged to have the case of win shipped from the winery to our hotel in Johannesburg, arriving within a few hours of our flight back to U.S. He tracked the package for more than a week to make sure it arrived at the right hotel on the right day at the right time. It never would have worked out without his continuous help. Amazing.

Hi Keith,
Thank you for your generous review, I am looking forward to the finals of the Port competition between SA and Porto on thanksgiving day!
It is always gratifying when we find the right wine for clients and a Private Tour makes this so much easier. Along the way over the years we have made some incredible friends with the owners/winemakers and front-of-house staff in the wineries which allows us to go "behind the scenes and seek out those special wines!

Forget about all other wine tours, particularly the wine tram and the Constantia bus route, with Tsiba Tsiba you get to taste wines according to your palate at non-tourist-trap wineries. Their tour guides are extremely knowledgable, can even answer questions about the terroir, and make sure that you get what you are looking for.
Highly recommendable if you are seriously interested in wine tasting (not just drinking).

It is always reassuring when you get an endorsement like the one that Susanne has just given us as a Tour company focusing on providing the best experience for your clients.
Thank you Susanne and yes we do like to dive into the deep end when it comes to wine tours and provide an experience that is out of the ordinary. We find those vineyards tucked away in the valleys away from the crowds where you can relax and enjoy the wines at your own pace learning about the complexities of wine-making and the influences that define them

The tour was timed well for seeing some wonderful vineyards and tasting beautiful wines and cheese, too. Our guide, Eileen, was very personable and we had a great time with her. She selected wineries she thought we would enjoy and gave us insights into the local vitculture and wine that added to the experience. I highly recommend Tsiba Tsiba Tours and hope to go on other tours in the area with them in the future. Thank you for a wonderful day in the countryside.

After a perfect day in the vineyards last year we went for a private wine tour with fantastic Stephen once again! This time we started in Cape town and Stephen showed us wineries in Franschhoek, Paarl and Stellenbosch which gave us a nice variation of the different terroir, styles of wine and locations. Even after one year in between the tours he still knew our preferences and was very motivated to show us new-to-us wineries aside from the bigger ones which we really liked.
Besides a nice wine and cheese tasting we also enjoyed an MCC and Nougat tasting and were brought to very beautiful wineries as e.g. Stark Condé which recently have reopened after renovation. No matter on which level you enjoy wine or bubbly, Tsiba Tsiba makes sure, you get a tour that fits all your needs, filled with plenty of information.
I'm sure this was not the last time coming back and thank you for the perfect day - again!

We had a fantastic day and our wonderful tour guide Eileen provided our adult family with a tour customized to our wine preferences as well as adding in interesting local information. This company’s service went above and beyond and we also did a customized tour of the Cape Town area with George as our guide, which was superb! They were always responsive while we planned our tours, on time for pickup, fun and friendly to chat to during the tours. Very highly recommended!

Hi,
Thank you for your review. Stephen certainly knows his way around the vineyards and being a Master Sommelier certainly helps with selecting the best wines to go to as far as quality is concerned

It's our honeymoon and we wanted to make the most of our limited time in Stellenbosch by having a private guide who would share knowledge and experience of wine, and also arrange a special and romantic day for us.
I emailed over the brief and got a fast response from Eileen. I was immediately confident I was dealing with a professional firm that would deliver what what we wanted (in fact we ended up expanding our tour to two days to also cover Franschhoek which they accommodated very last minute).
What we actually got was beyond all expectations that we had. Eileen is clearly very passionate about wine and we learnt so much during our time with her.
The wine estates she took us to were simply wonderful. Eileen had really thought about what we wanted and had arranged tastings at some very beautiful, intimate estates and tasting the wines whilst looking out over some truly stunning scenery is something we will never forget.
She picked out the wines at each tasting so we were able to sample a wide range of varieties, but also the ones she thought we would like best based on our tastes.
As a side note, Eileen was very clear that we were not under any pressure to buy any wine at any of the estates.
She arranged lunch for us on both days and both restaurants were excellent. Again, stunning views at both.
Car we were driven in was very comfortable.
I can't recommend this enough. You won't be disappointed.
