Our guide Abie led us on a wonderful e-bike tour of Stellenbosch and some local vineyards. Abie was warm, friendly and very knowledgeable about the history of the region. He enriched the experience. The wine tastings and lunch were great but they each seemed to be secondary to the beautiful panoramic scenery of the region. It was beautiful and made for a great experience.

We had a fantastic bike tour with Colin around the Banghoek region. Colin was a fantastic guide and the wine stops were out of this world. Highly recommended.
Beautiful bike ride around the wine lands. I happened to be the only one person on this tour, so this was basically a private experience catered to my tastes. Thanks so much!
Beautiful scenery, delicious wine, friendly & informative host. A simply fantastic experience all round. Reccomend having breakfast before starting!
We had a great time with Aunwa who is extremely knowledgable about wine! The only thing we wanted MORE riding...it was so much fun!!
We had a fantastic morning with Colin from Wineland Guides. He gave us a very thorough briefing so we felt safe on the e-bikes. Colin was incredibly knowledgeable about the wine industry and local area, and stopped at the most scenic spots so we could take photos and hear more about the history of Stellenbosch. We stopped at Thelema and Rainbows End for some fantastic local wines. Also travelling via bikes through vineyards gives you the most phenomenal views that you miss when travelling via car!
Very pleasant morning. Had hoped for more cycling and also expected to visit 3 vineyards (as per the itinerary) but only visited 2 - not sure why
We had a great day with Tim and Prince. They modified the standard tour of three wine tastings because we wanted to do a bit more cycling through the lovely scenery. Of the two vineyards Thelema was by far our favourite and we bought quite a bit of wine to bring back to our villa. All in all highly recommended
Colin, Tim and Anwa are the absolute best! We did the full day Cape Pennisula tour with Tim - he was so knowledgeable and made us feel super comfortable the whole time. We had the perfect balance of sightseeing with him and the chance to see things on our own. We also did the full day wine tour with Colin - he was so much fun! He took the time to ask us what types of wines we liked and made sure to bring us to wineries that matched our interests and taste buds. All of the places were amazing and he was so knowledgeable about the wines we tasted. We liked him so much that the next day we did a half day e-bike tour with him! Colin's brother Anwa did most of our transportation (to and from airports, winelands, etc.) and he has us laughing the whole time. During our entire trip, I felt safe and I felt like we truly were with the best of the best- they felt like friends we had had for years! I would recommend Winelands Guide to anyone visiting South Africa!!
Absolutely loved our e-bike tour with Colin! I was a little hesitant about the e-bikes, but after 5 minutes on them I became a huge fan. They let you work as much or as little as you want. We stopped at two wineries, which were very good. The whole tour was very picturesque. Colin was always ready to stop and let us take photos along the route. He made the whole tour so memorable and we laughed a lot that day. He also customized the tour based on our wine preferences. Overall we had such a great experience! I highly recommend booking any tour with Colin!
This was such a fun way to get a feel for the region and taste some wines! My husband and I did this bike tour on our honeymoon and loved riding bikes around private roads and vineyards, while making a few stops and tasting some amazing wines. Our guide Colin also made the experience so fun and we were so happy to spend the day with him as well. We would highly recommend!
We made a nice bike ride with our guide Tim, who told a lot about the area. We deviated a bit with our wishes from the program, but Tim handled it well. It was a nice trip between the vines on e-bikes.
Very friendly guide who knows a lot about wine and about the history of the country Beautiful surroundings. Good bikes. But you only cycle a little bit. Bit short for the money you're paying.
Tim hat uns einen wirklich tollen Tag bereitet. Die Weingüter waren toll, die Infos interessant und die E-Bikes haben viel Spaß gemacht.
Fantastic bike ride with Tim as guide. Tim could tell us a lot and pointed out incredible views. The wine was exquisite despite the early hour. I would highly recommend t
