Was my second time in 3 months using Winefliestour for my tour group.. very accommodating every of my needs and wants for this trip..our guide this time Julian was an amazing and fantastic guide to begin with...not just from his in-depth knowledge of the local wine industry but also in his common general knowledge as well.. Just a fun guy to spend time with during the almost 9 hour tour..it was an amazing experience once again and if you ever want to spend some time in Cape Towns Wine region, winefliestour must be your go to..p/s: don't hesitate to custom anything in your needs as they are so accommodating to your every need - Khairul


Great day out - had a very enjoyable and rewarding experience. Generous tastings and delicious lunch. Our guide for the day was informative and generous with his time and knowledge. We found that this was a very good value for money experience and was well organized. Thank you - Ken


Four of us were picked up at the One & Only, then 9 other fun loving folks joined Julian, our driver, host and wine expert. The 4 stops were all different from a large winery to several family run boutique wineries. The lunch was fabulous, as were the wine tasting. The tasting were all very generous portions. We had used Wine Flies in the past and have recommended them to others. The all day tour is a great value. We plan on using them again when in Cape Town. - ROBERT


Myself and a colleague had a wonderful, full-day experience with an amazing and well-educated guide named Julian. As locals, we still learned so much about the Winelands area, the history of the area and the history of winemaking in South Africa. I highly recommend Wine Flies tours if you would like to experience different wineries and learn more about the history of winemaking in South Africa. - Kurtley


We loved our wine tour with Wine Flies! Julian was a great guide and personalized the tour for us including awesome stops for croissants and cheese ? Definitely recommend Wine Flies for a fun filled day with fantastic wine and unique experiences! - Joanna
