Customer Reviews

A fantastic cycle and wine tour. I am not an expert cyclist so I took an e bike but my husband took a regular tourer. There were 5 in the group led by Danny our guide. Danny took us through the historic sights of Stellenbosch giving us an overview of its history and then on to 2 vineyards. Stark Conde and Lanzeroc both were stunning and provided a lovely wine tasting experience. It was a highlight on our Garden route tour made special by the combination of beautiful Stellenbosch, a lovely diverse group of people and a fantastic guide. I would not hesitate in recommending. - Yvonne


Our experience was quite good. Tayne was excellent guide. He knew a lot about Stellenbosch and its history. We went to two solid wineries. We are not wine people and would have preferred to spend more time biking and seeing more sites vs the amount of time spent doing tastings. We understand that was the tour, we just wish we had an option. Overall great experience. - Anne


We really enjoyed our ride round Stellenbosch. Our guide was very well informed and we felt that the split of time between that in the town and then out to the vineyards was about right. If you want an adrenalin rush then this would not be for you, however if you want an interesting ride (about 90 minutes of cycling) , with two wine tastings then I would recommend this tour. - Paul


The tour was excellent. Bikes were issued efficiently and Tayne was a really good guide. Well informed, lucid, humorous and clear. A most enjoyable excursion. Indeed, we revisited the Postcard Cafe the following day for breakfast before moving on to Franschhoek. Thank you. - Gill


Super nice pedal around historical Stellenbosch Excellent and knowledgeable guide (Tayne) who kept the group together safely. Fun wine tastings at two wineries. Very picturesque and nice wines. A great way to see the town and experience the area. - Gary
