What a great intro to Stellenbosch we had! Our guide Sevi was outstanding: knowledgeable, charming, and enthusiastic. He shared so many interesting stories, and has an incredible grasp of the history, geography, and other information about Stellenbosch and the wine industry. The two wineries we visited were terrific, and the tour was an ideal combination of bicyling through Stellenbosch and beyond and wine-tasting. Highly recommend!

We booked our bike tour as a last minute activity the night before and it was certainly a great decision. When we arrived at the Adventure Shop we discovered we were the only two on our tour (myself and my husband) and our guide, Severiano, was quick to sort our bikes and get us on our way. Severiano was friendly and exceptionally knowledgable about the area. In addition to providing the tour he answered our questions on Stellenbosch and also provided some recommendations for our future stops on our South Africa trip. Severiano was also kind enough to add an extra stop on the tour (which was within the planned route) to enable us to buy souvenirs. The wineries were stunning and the bike tour was great fun and was accommodating to our fitness levels. I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Stellenbosch, and if you’re lucky you might get Severiano as your tour guide too. Amazing experience that we would do again, we hope to revisit in the near future.

Totally recommend this tour. it's a fun way to visit the wineries around Stellenbosch. Bikes are in good condition and the ride is beautiful. Not very hard. Both wineries we visited were very good.

The Delaire Graff front office team got the opportunity to experience an E bike tour of stellenbosch town and surrounding areas that turned out to be one of the best experiences yet and so much was learnt and you get to see and experience history with a amazing guide that is full of stellenbosch knowledge that also guides you through the history of town. This is definitely worth trying and also for stellenbosch locals

What a great way to get some exercise, see some beautiful countryside and taste some wines! We were thankfully able to book this last minute and we are so glad that we did. We met our guide, Tayne, at the AdventureShop and proceeded on an informative tour around Stellenbosch. The riding was flat and easy. So nice to learn some history in an active way. On our way to the first winery, we rode through an area of Stellenbosch with elegant homes in many styles. The hill to the first winery made me pedal hard - but it was so worth it. Starke-Conde was a great choice of wineries to include. It was a gorgeous spot and a doable bike ride. After the tasting and time for pictures at Starke-Conde, we returned to the Stellenbosch area to visit the Lanzerac Wine Estate. After sampling their lovely wines and chocolates, Tayne led us on an informative cellar tour. He provided a really good summary of the process without overwhelming us with too many details. We highly recommend this tour to anyone and hope to do it again some day.

I can fully recommend this tour. Connecting the exploration of delicious wine, beautiful nature and the interesting local history with a bike tour is absolutely recommendable. I don’t want to go too much into the details of the tour, they are well described, but I want to mention that Sev, our tour guide did an absolutely superb job - he made the local history easily accessible and connected them to the bigger pictures of todays situation of South Africa.

This was a great way to be introduced to the beautiful city of Stellenbosch. Our guide, Seve, was awesome. He was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and made the experience great. Wine tastings were very fun as well. We recommend highly!

I joined the team from the Adventure Shop for a 3-day e-bike tour from Stellenbosch to Hermanus. Sevo, our guide, is such a well spoken, pleasant guy! Every few kilometers he would brief us on what to expect from the road ahead. It is clear he knows the area like the back of his hand! Johan drove the back-up vehicle, and was always ready with cold water and snacks for the long road. Between the two of them we received só many interesting titbits of information about the environment, wildlife, history and even language origins. On the last night they spoiled us with a tasteful, well presented dinner that represented a typical South African braai. Thank you guys, for being on time, well prepared, endearing, and taking extremely good care of us!

We booked for 6 riders including two 7 year olds. All equipment provided was of good quality and our needs accommodated! Seve, our friendly & knowledgable guide gave us detailed information on the historical land marks in the town before heading out to the vineyards. He was very capable and allowed the 7 year olds to accomplish the 17km ride!! Thanks to the team for a great experience!!

A group of 5 friends recently did a 3 day cycling tour in the Western Cape. We had excellent service from the onset when booking to end of the tour. Veronika managed our booking and dealt with all our queries very efficiently and was always on hand to help with additional requirements. The bikes were a very good spek and the routes were great: varying terrain and challenges and very scenic. Special thanks to our guides Sevo and Johann they really looked after us and were great company. Definitely the best cycling experience I have had and will certainly do this again.
