What to do and see in Stellenbosch, Western Cape: The Best City Tours

February 23, 2022 Lean Nau

Hiking trails and art galleries abound in Stellenbosch, but it's wine that takes center stage. More than 100 wine cellars, most open to the public, surround the oak-lined South African town, and tasting tours operate daily. Winter brings a four-day festival celebrating the local vintages. The historic town center houses the trading-post style shop Oom Samie se Winkel, the Neo-Gothic Moederkerk church, and museums dedicated to toys, military memorabilia, autos and early life on the Cape.

Great trip! TK was so helpful and always available to help. The hostels we stayed in were amazing and the activities even better, I strongly suggest the elephant walk, bungee jumping and sandboarding.

My boyfriend and I did all our tours with Nic from Africa Moja Tours & Transfers-Cradle of Human Kind, Lesedi, Soweto, and Pretoria. We were very nervous booking tours as it was all last minute and we did not have a lot of time to research. However, our first day went so great with Nic that we booked another day. He is a very safe driver, incredibly knowledgeable and smart, and a great person to hang out with while touring the area. Nic and the tours were truly one of the highlights of our three week trip in South Africa and I would highly recommend using this company and Nic for your tours. I am so grateful we had an incredible experience on our first time visiting.

##Diabolic and stomach-churning experience! Absolutely a daylight #SCAM#. Left Cape on the 4th July 2020 only to be offloaded at Beit Bridge without any accommodation, food, water etc. it has been one excuse after the other but predominantly using 'break down' as a scapegoat hoping to frustrate people to abandon their bus for another. Taking advantage of people's predicament for their selfish gains-charging extortionate fares as much as R7000 for a few bags of luggage. Merciless bloodsuckers## Stay away from this bus, please!

My wife and I had arranged for a rental car and at the last moment, changed our mind and “googled” private Cape Peninsula tour. Up popped Mr Callixte Twahirwa. How lucky are we?!!! Calixte is a pure gentleman. Everything is “no problem”. Gorgeous brand new luxurious BMW with water and AC. Comfortable ride and safe. Calixte is knowledgeable and respectful of your time. He was punctual and delivered everything he said he was going to do. We agreed upon an itinerary and he delivered exactly that. When we ended up in Stelenbosch a little early, “no problem,” as he took us to a few wineries. Why would you even consider driving on the wrong side of the road? Call Calixte and arrange a private tour. I guarantee you, you will not be disappointed. Look for parking? Silly! Navigate directions? No way. Sit back and relax. Stop whenever you want to take pictures. Change on the fly. Spontaneous. I can not recommend this service enough.
