Customer Reviews

Marchel was a great guide, very knowledgeable, passionate and interesting to listen to. I'm glad we took this tour which included historical Stellenbosch as well as two wineries and some rather lovely chocolates. Highly recommended. - Morag


Excellent tour, no major hills or inclines so easy to do even if not the fittest. Great tour guide giving brief history and background to the area. No pressure from the vineyards, wine tasting was exceptional. Thoroughly recommended. - Mark


Very nice tour in a small group, interesting City Tour in Stellenbosch, nice experience by bike to get know 2 wineries. - Martina


Great experience and very nice, discrete and knowledgable guide Perfect combination between fun, historical and wine related facts + tasting. Cheers - Dirk


Booked a bike tour of Stellenbosch and the Winelands to see and more of this lovely piece on earth. We were just the two of us and had Xavi as happy and very knowledgeable guide. The bikes and helmets we used were in good condition. First we had a look around Stellenbosch, then we went to two wine tastings. The wine we bought Xavi very gallantly took in his bag pack on the way back. We were on the road for more than four hours and it was a great experience! - Terese
