Wonderful day touring the cape wine regions. - We had a superb day with our guide Fanny as she showed us the wine highlights of the Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franschhoek regions. It was a great experience with a very knowledgeable and entertaining guide who we were delighted to spend the day with visiting 4 excellent wineries and sharing a wonderful lunch together. I Can’t recommend this tour and guide highly enough. Thanks Fanny for making our day so special. Sue.

Great knowledgeable and friendly guide - My wife and I had a wonderful time with our personal wine tour. It started out great with some historical facts about the original wine makers , the pioneers and their discovery of the rich soil in Stellenbosch. Steven explained everything quite well. We enjoyed each winery we visited. Our favorite was Warwick. I would highly recommend a tour with Steven.

Perfect relaxing tour - This private tour was the perfect way to spend a day in the wine region outside Cape Town. We were a group of 8, and our guide, Fanny, and driver, Tanya, made this an unforgettable experience. We appreciated that they were willing to tailor the schedule around vineyards we wanted to experience and even made changes to the itinerary to allow us more time at our lunch location, La Petite Ferme, because we were having such a nice, relaxing time. Highly recommend this tour with I & F Elegant Country Tours.

Steven Andrews us the best guide! - Steven Andrews was our guide and was wonderful! He brought the history of the region to life. Our wine tastings were top notch. He even got us in on a beer and chocolate tasting as well! Such a great day. Steven totally focused on us and whatever we wanted or needed and he achieved that goal. Ask for Steven!

Best private wine tour. - My boyfriend and I loved every minute of this tour. We went amazing wine farms learnt so much about wine and saw some of the most beautiful parts of Cape Town. We also had a second trip booked to the city and we had booked again to do another wine tour unfortunately, due to COVID we had to cancel.
The next time we visit Cape Town I will definitely book another tour with these amazing, professional and kind people.
