Wir hatten die Navy-Line, bei der man erst einmal mit dem Bus rumgefahren ist, statt der Bahn. Das war uns so beim Buchen nicht bewusst gewesen. Man schafft ca. 4-5 Weingüter, ehe es zurück geht. Einmal wurde uns eine falsche Zeit genannt und der Bahnfahrer war leider nicht bereit 2 Minuten auf eine Person aus unserer Gruppe zu warten. Trotzdem war es ein schönes Erlebnis, was man auf jeden Fall mal machen kann.

This tran takes you through a good selection of vineyards of different size and selection. The scenery is magnificent and absolutely breathtaking! The easy transport to and back allows you to enjoy the wines to the fullest, have some culinary delights and buy unique bottles to bring them home. We absolutely loved this tour and it was an ultimate favourite for both of us! On your way to the tram they explain interesting facts about South Africa and the Western Cape region. This is incredible value for your money!

Nice wine yards! I was a bit disappointed by the fact that only half of the route was with the train, and the rest with bus. The part of the route that was with the train, was a lot back and forth, not a round. And even on the tram stops, we had to use bus/cars from the stops to get to the wine yards.
