Enjoy the Historic Town of Stellenbosch and its Vineyards by bicycle
We had a wonderful day. First we cycled around in Stellenbosch, we saw all the highlights and got a lot of interesting explanations from the guide. Then we cycled through a nature reserve and as icing on the cake we had 2 wine tastings in 2 different wineries. The cycling was very pleasant and not too heavy, everyone was waited for. We got good bikes and for those who wanted it there were electric bikes. Everything was well organized. It was a nice experience, we enjoyed it vert much! An excellent way to visit Stellenbosch. - Iris
We really enjoyed the cycle tour. It is a great way of moving through a beautiful small town that is so rich in history. Saveriani was a great tour guide with good knowledge and facts about his subject. The wine and chocolate pairing was also well worth it. We met nice people on the tour which made it more fun too! - Andrew
We were completely blown away by our knowledgeable guide Sav, as well as, the service we received from Ashten. Sav's knowledge of local history is incredible and was delivered in a way that our kids could picture being there at the time. His patience with our family (teenagers) was appreciated. - Fiori
A fantastic cycle and wine tour. I am not an expert cyclist so I took an e bike but my husband took a regular tourer. There were 5 in the group led by Danny our guide. Danny took us through the historic sights of Stellenbosch giving us an overview of its history and then on to 2 vineyards. Stark Conde and Lanzeroc both were stunning and provided a lovely wine tasting experience. It was a highlight on our Garden route tour made special by the combination of beautiful Stellenbosch, a lovely diverse group of people and a fantastic guide. I would not hesitate in recommending. - Yvonne
Our experience was quite good. Tayne was excellent guide. He knew a lot about Stellenbosch and its history. We went to two solid wineries. We are not wine people and would have preferred to spend more time biking and seeing more sites vs the amount of time spent doing tastings. We understand that was the tour, we just wish we had an option. Overall great experience. - Anne
