Recommended Estates - Great tour to each wine Estate. Would 100% recommend Plaisir wine Estate, very friendly and welcoming staff and prefer Plaisir over Boshendale. Alleebleue is also very lovely and I highly recommend it. The staff are lovely. The staff at Vrede en Lust were amazing as well, I particular 'Flou' Lust bistro!

Family visit - The concept of visiting and tasting vineyards by bus and tram is very original and interesting. However, since the visit is in English only, it would be easier and more pleasant for French tourists if they had an Audio Guide or translator in French.

Ok up until the end… - The tour was ok. I would have like to stay only 1/2 day. A little long. All was well until the end when the bus driver didn’t take us back to where he picked us from. Like WTH, why would you stop me at did aquarium and I didn’t get on there. Then he puts me on the sightseeing city bus and I had to wait 30 mins for that bus driver to leave. Thad driver was a completely rude because at first he refused to take me. I will not do this tour again.

Terrible Customer Service - The customer service at the Two Oceans pick up point was terrible. The ladies were not very helpful at all and spoke with an attitude.
