Unbeatable wine visit - A wonderful experience. Great idea to make in a day. We visited 4 wineries, with a stop to eat in Maison. The guide who accompanied us on the bus, Siba, is super professional and charming and helped us at all times. He even took care of calling the restaurant so he could book us a table to eat in Maison. 100% recommended!

Research and Plan - Each winery is lovely in its own unique way. There isn't time for all of them, so I recommend making a plan beforehand. We didn't, but we really enjoyed the ones we selected. Also, research to make a plan for lunch, especially if you want something other than charcuterie or wine pairing snacks. The wineries connected to the tram are limited, but make time to ride it because it's really neat!

More wine than tram - Don't expect a long nice tram ride. The tram is nice for the photo. The tram buses that run between the domains are much more practical. Usually the smaller domains with the most personal approach are the most fun. In addition to excellent wines, snacks are also available at most domains. As almost everywhere in South Africa always with a smile. Allow for a fully filled (wine) day.

Great experience, Franschoek is beautiful! - It's really sweet to ride the tram, but it's only 3 stops, I kind of thought you could ride more trams. But the stops are all totally beautiful and even later by bus you can see really great locations! Also the tastings are super delicious and the staff are super friendly everywhere and welcome you warmly! Would definitely do it again but maybe with more time over two days because in one day it was actually a little too fast for my taste everything because if you want to see a lot max. 1h per stay.

this is one of those... - this is one of those experiences where you pick a line then pick the farms you want to visit then you pick your activities. It’s not pre picked - I hope that provides a better explanation

The Franschhoek Tram is overrated and trash...... - This outing was as terrible, for the lack of better wording. Apart from overbooking that resulted in itinerary irregularities, the Franschhoek Tram team was quite unprofessional in dealing with such. They seem to have blatantly ignored (and probably), just deleted our complain email. This experience SUCKED SUCKED SUCKED! We highly recommend this overrated experience straight to the trash can. Ewww! This is a real-life case of "what you ordered VS what you get" scenario.....
