“Had a fantastic tour with Marshall and have been recommending it to folks we met on our trip! Just enough info and history to get your bearings without taking away from the enjoyment of cycling and exploring. It’s a great way to explore Stellenbosch and visit two stunning wineries, and how cool to rock up and leave on a bike! We also never felt rushed which was very appreciated. Even if you’re fit I’d still recommend the electric bikes, 4 hours is long with hilly terrain so to be able to choose your level of difficulty makes it so you can really relax and enjoy it!”
