African Invite
I highly recommend this tour and tour guide. - Jackie
The wine tour with Jim is an excellent way to spend a day in South Africa. It gives you the opportunity to visit a few wineries in a day all around Paarl, Stellenbosch, Franschhoek or Swartland, learn a lot of interesting historical facts and background/ origins about different wineries and of course wine making - as Jim is a winemaker himself. He also is very knowleadgeable about the history of South Africa and can answer any questions you might have. An obvious plus is that you do not have to drive yourself, and therefore don't have to worry about tasting and enjoying all the wines. He also makes sure to accomodate any preferences and wishes and we greatly enjoyed having the option to book a private tour, which makes the experience a lot more personal and feel less ,,touristy". My family and I have all been on a few different tours with Jim and have recommended Jim's tours to all of our friends visiting South Africa. We look forward to our next tour! - Cindy
