A fun wine tour - Spent a great day on this tour with Marlene. We visited 4 vineyards and tasted an impressive selection of delicious SA wines. Marlene’s vast knowledge of such wines, which she shared with us is extensive. A fun and informative tour which we do not hesitate to recommend.

Wine lovers tour - A fantastic day sampling a wide selection of SA wines at 4 vineyards. Our guide Marlene who was with us throughout shared her wide knowledge of these wines, and was a pleasure to be with. We would recommend anyone who wishes to improve their knowledge of SA wines , to book this tour. It is well worth it. Marlene, have a great vacation in Europe!

Experience of a Lifetime! - I would recommend Luhambo tours to anyone coming to this part of the world! Cedric was the best tour guide in the game. We were on holiday for our honeymoon, and Cedric put together a 3 day private tour for me and my wife. It was absolutely amazing experience and his knowledge about the entire continent of Africa was amazing. We look forward to coming back and spending more time with Cedric exploring the many vineyards we were not able to accomplish in our short visit. I would highly recommend letting Luhambo choosing your route while traveling this beautiful country. Until next time! Andrew & Nicole USA!

Beautiful day of discoveries in the Wineland around Stellembsch - Beautiful moments shared with Marlene, between Thelema, Tokara, Stark-Condé (+lunch), Kanonkop, and finally Simonsig. Good Chenin Blancs, excellent Sauvignon Blanc, Pinotage and the usual Cabernets and Syrah, all delicious. A special note for the Telos of Tokara, "..The aromas of cassis, smoked tobacco and perfectly ripe plums dominate and are complemented by dusty graphite and brambleberry notes. The palate offers restrained richness and tannins that are so fine that they entwine the fresh, mouth-filling acidity and the almost endless finish. There is a retention of freshness and vibrancy that keeps everything in flawless balance. It is a dramatic wine that is best savored with fine company.." A very pleasant day guided by Marlene, full of skills, mischief and humor. To recommend !

Great experience - We spent a fantastic day with Marlene, who not only took into account our wishes for the day but also showed us some small gems which we wouldn’t have found by ourselves. Talking to her helped us to get to know the country better too! We would definitely recommend this beautiful experience.

Wining and dining excellence! - We had an absolutely magnificent day out with Marlene - she was ready for us when we got downstairs, let us determine how much or how little info we wanted to hear about winemaking, and gave us recommendations on wineries based on her extensive experience. We were after wine pairings that also paired with other things and had asked specifically for a cheese pairing which led us to Fairview but Marlene also suggested a biltong pairing at Marianne Wine Estate and it was utterly fantastic. We also chose to browse the shops in Stellenbosch, and had a delightful lunch which Marlene helped us to confirm to ensure that our day ran smoothly as it was very busy due to the long weekend. She also took pictures of us throughout the day so that we had a collection of happy snaps at the end. Despite running into some traffic at the end of the day headed back into Cape Town, Marlene got us back home right on time. Thank you so much for today - you really made all the difference and we had a great time with you! We would highly recommend Marlene and the rest of the Luhambo team for your private or group tours!

Wine tasting at it's best - We had Marlene for this trip. After some chatting she figured out what our needs were. She really nailed it! All her knowledge of the area of the region the vineyards really brought the history alive. On top of all that she has some real clout in the area. We truly got VIP service.
