Absolutely Stunning Views - This was our best time in Cape Town (so far) - and I would 100% recommend this for anyone that can ride a bike. Mike took us on the most scenic route through neighborhoods, farms, and vineyards. The tastings were great as well. This is the only way to experience wine country.

Fantastic! - A superb 5hr experience! The value for money is exceptional. Door to door pick up/drop off plus bike hire with Matt (very friendly and helpful), private guide (very knowledgeable, friendly, helpful), x2 vineyard tours with excellent wine tasting experience included and an amazing lunch at Richard Branson's vineyard. 2/2.5hrs of fairly easy riding, with a couple of hills that will give a nice challenge to someone with average fitness. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Amazing half day winery bike tour - Matt picked us up at our hotel on time and brought us to Franschhoek to begin our tour. He had brought bikes the right size for us (tiny!) which were easy to ride. You didn't need to be an expert cyclist or super fit for this experience - it's easy going on the flat. The scenery is beautiful and its so peaceful cycling through the vineyards. The wineries are historic and the wines and pairings really delicious. Wine and chocolate especially! We ended with a truly lovely picnic under the trees by a river. Matt was an awesome guide who never tired of our endless questions and we never felt rushed. Highly recommended 😊

Unforgettable Experience! - My husband and I had an amazing day biking the wineries and backroads of Franschhoek with Matt from Bike and Hike! What an unforgettable way to experience wine tastings and appreciate the environment. We ended the ride with a picnic in the vines and it was absolutely perfect! We appreciate the photos that our guide, Matt, took along the ride. We bike ride all over the world and Bike and Hike is one of the best. They respond quickly to emails and questions; tailor the trip to what you want to do; accommodate the most basic bike riders; provide high quality bikes, and take photos of you along the way.

A wonderful bike ride in wine country - Matt was an excellent guide. He picked us up from our Cape Town hotel and drove us out to Franschhoek, pointing out landmarks and, as we got closer, vineyards. He gave us a brief history of winemaking in South Africa, and led us on thick-tired bikes on trails between stunning vineyards with mountains on both sides. I wasn’t feeling too well that day, so I went back and rested in the car after one wine tasting (which Matt was very willing to accommodate), and my son and Matt spent the rest of the morning biking. I highly recommend this tour.

Take it easy on two wheels - My wife and I were blown away by the beauty of the valley. There's just no better way to experience it than on a bike. Bike and Hike were the best, our guide was professional, knowledgeable and lots of fun. We can’t wait for our next visit!

The best way to explore magnificent winelands! - We just want to thank the Bike and Hike team for such a special experience. The personal service, knowledge, fun and fantastic wine made this one of our favourite activities on our trip. Matt took care of every detail and we just had to rock up and have a great time! Highly recommend!

Franshhoek Wine and Cycle - My husband and I booked a cycle wine-tasting and cycle tour through our overseas agent. We are so happy we did! Although middle of winter in South Africa, the sun was out, the fresh air was great and the wine tasting excellent. Our guide was so attentive, knowledgable and made the whole tour very relaxed and so much fun. I will defintely be doing one of their other tours when back in South Africa on my next visit.
