Customer Reviews

We had a wonderful day! We visited 3 estates that were completely different in style, which made it all the more interesting. We discovered the most beautiful place for lunch. Jim is the best guide you can imagine! He is so knowledgeable and passionate about wine and truly knows everyting about the culture and history of RSA. He is genuinely a very pleasant person to be with. I would not hesitate for a second to book another tour with Jim when we visit South Africa next time. - Melissa
