What people love about Wine tasting Tours in South Africa
- 10 day Cape & Garden Route Combo - optional accommodation
It was an absolutely amazing trip, all of the backpackers were really great places. There was a lot of driving but that was expected with all the different activities and places that were visited. Kevin was a fantastic tour guide. He was extremely friendly and very knowledgable about the areas we drove through and all the things that we did. Can't say enough about him, he certainly made the trip better. Cheers!
- Garden Route, Safari & Winelands Wonder
We had a great guide and itinerary. Only complaint was the security at aha hotel as there was a burglar who came in through 2 windows at night. The next day the cleaning staff left our windows open. I question the security in general at that hotel.
- Addo Elephants - Garden Route - Winelands (6 Days)
He showed us the most beautiful things in the garden route. And searched always for the cheapest things for us (we're students). He explained us a lot and gave us a time to never forget!
