Description

The Hop-on-Hop-off Franschhoek Wine Tram is one of the most unique ways to experience the Cape Winelands and we have made it easier with our return shared transfers from Cape Town including Wine Tram ticket and hotel pick up and drop off. Avoid large groups and benefit from a small group of no more than 10 people from Cape Town to Franschhoek. Choose between 8 different Wine Estate Routes and take advantage of securing your Franschhoek Wine Tram ticket which is included in this tour cost. You pay only for your wine tasting fees at the various wine estates your choose to visit and skip the ones you don't. What sets us apart from the rest? Convenience: Our guide is at your service for the duration of the tour and should you miss the tram at any of the wine estates, you need not wait an hour for the next tram, as our guide will collect you and drop you at the next wine estate.

Wine safari with our dear friend Paul 🤣🙏🏽

We would like to thank you for such a wonderful day. You truly made our experience very special. Your kindness, patience, and the way you guided us throughout the day made everything feel easy and enjoyable. We learned so much in just one day, and it felt less like a tour and more like sharing a beautiful experience with a friend. You listened to our suggestions and helped transform our Wine Tram day into one of the best wine experiences we have ever had. That meant a lot to us. We are very grateful for your care and for making the day so memorable. We feel that we didn’t just have a guide, we made a friend. Whenever we think of someone to guide us again, you will certainly be the person we will call. Thank you again for making our day so special. Warm regards, Karina & Paulo❤️❤️❤️ 🇦🇴🇦🇴🇦🇴

Overbooked, Dishonest, and Completely Unprofessional — Avoid at All Costs

This was one of the worst tour booking experiences I’ve ever had, and I feel obligated to warn other travelers. We booked a Wine Tram Hop-On Hop-Off Tour through Viator, trusting that the availability shown was accurate. We were informed that the tour was overbooked, despite our confirmed reservation for a party of five. Instead of honoring what we paid for, we were pressured to review alternative transportation and essentially cobble together a completely different experience - truly defeating the purpose of booking this tour in the first place. Both Viator and the local provider handled this situation terribly. There was no accountability, no real solution offered, and certainly no sense of urgency or customer care. It felt like they were trying to cheat us out of the tour we paid for by pushing the inconvenience onto us. What’s most frustrating is that this issue appears to stem from outdated or poorly managed technology. If availability is not accurate, it should not be sold - full stop. Advertising availability that doesn’t exist is misleading and unacceptable, especially when people plan entire days, transportation, and group experiences around it. We are now waiting on a very large refund, which should never have been an issue had this been handled professionally from the start. I would never recommend this service to anyone. If you value your time, money, and peace of mind, book elsewhere. This company clearly does not know how to run a reliable tour operation.

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the experience did not meet your expectations. Your booking was made late in the evening for the following day during peak season. While the booking was accepted automatically, availability was subject to confirmation with the Franschhoek Wine Tram, which is a third-party supplier. Unfortunately, no availability remained for that date. We contacted you immediately and offered alternative tour options as well as the same tour on another available date, which were declined. Although the cancellation occurred within 24 hours, we still contacted Viator Partner Support on your behalf, and the refund was successfully processed. We regret the inconvenience and believe we acted promptly, transparently, and in good faith throughout. We wish you all the best in your future travels.
