Wonderful winery and countryside meander!

A wonderful way to see the wineries and some of the backstreets of Franschhoek and the surrounding countryside! Our bike guide Walter looked after us so well from start to finish. He was a lovely fun guy but also very well informed on the wines and the area. We really enjoyed spending time with him. The 3 wineries he took us to- Backsberg, La Bri and Rickety Bridge were all beautiful places with stunning views from the tasting areas.And the wines and accompaniments were all delicious!

A unique way to experience the valley which is well worth the effort.

We loved our day with Lee. He was knowledgeable about the area and shared about his culture. Seeing the valley from a bike was really special and well worth the effort. All three vineyards were excellent with the ambassadors carefully explaining how each wine was made and why they taste different.

Fabulous Tour

What a fabulous way to do a wine tour. We had a lovely bike ride between 3 vineyards. One tasting included either chocolate, billtong or Turkish delight. Was a leisurely ride and a great way to see Franschhoek too with stops along the way and information given by our guide. We had a total of 11 different wines to taste. Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful day trip

Our family had a great day on the bike tour of Franschhoek. We enjoyed the scenery and short bike rides between wineries. Abi and his crew were very helpful and informative and even shared some South African history. The wine was delicious and we enjoyed a leisurely lunch at one vineyard. Great way to spend the day!

Franschhoek meander

We had a great day guided by Abi. He was excellent. The cycling was easy and very relaxing and the visits to the wineries were great. It’s a much much better way to experience Franschhoek than by vehicle in my opinion. I would definitely recommend this tour.
