  Had an awesome day with Linda and Innocent! Very nice Guys, nice wine-tastings and good sightseeing. A ‘must do’ when you are around!

  We had a great tour with Innocent and Linda. The guys are super friendly and welcoming. The bikes are good maintained. So I asume that they have changed them if I read older reviews.
  
  I would recommend you to do this trip if you know how to bike! It is a little challenging for those who have never ride a bike before.
  
  The boys gave a food explanation about making wine. However it would be nice to have heard about the process of making wine from a winemaker.

  I visited their store in Cape Town City and chatted with the manager, Quintin. To say that he was rude and abrasive is an understatement . I work for a service company and was just trying to do my job. There was a misunderstanding in the way we worked and I was trying to resolve the situation by talking it through so as to reach an agreement. He shouted at me and told me to leave my store after insulting me. I hadn’t said anything to be disrespectful and my tone was always professional and friendly. He was sarcastic and not willing to hear what I had to say. His insults were unprofessional and unwarranted. The staff had clearly been mistreated by the manager and I’m sure they are regularly shouted despite being better at dealing with people than him. I will never visit the store again, and I hope you, as a customer will not support this business. Your money is far more deserved elsewhere.

  We were looking forward to the adventure tour in the wine lands, but were a bit disappointed.
  First of, the quality of the bikes was terrible. In a group of 6, three bikes had issues. On my bike I was unable to shift down into the lowest cog on the front derailleur. More serious was, that the front break did not work. The guide simply said "oh the back one is the important one" Hmm, ok
  
  Other bikes had break problems as well.
  
  The guide kept on saying that "the guys in cape town must have taken all the good bikes yesterday". Well, dind't help us. I expect that for a guided tour the guides get there early and at least make a basic bike check on all the bikes.
  
  Just after we left, something on the guides rear derailleur broke, making it unable for him to shift. He ran back to the shed where we started, but there was no other bike available.
  
  He had to pedal like a sewing machine for the rest of the trip. The trip itself was cut short because one person in the group felt dizzy. Surly not a fault of the guide, but in the end we cycled may be 5-7km, not 20km.
  
  The vineyards and the views were nice, but overall we felt that we overpaid.

  Great place to get a nice bicycle and explore the city of Cape Town by yourself, they also offer guided Tours.

  October 2 2017: Very nice biking tour with our competent guide Adi. But why the name "Adventure tour"? It was all a very pleasant biking in spendid surroundings - not much of an adventure.

  It was a great tour which was definitely worth it! In the & bikes cafe in Cape Town I was very kindly received by one of the tour guides. From here we went by bus to Stellenbosch. During the ride, the tour guide told us some interesting information about the area. Arriving in Stellenbosch, the guide took time for everyone to adjust the bike well. During the ride the guide was very alert and the wines were excellent.

  Awesome! The complimentary transfer was great, and the guide knows how to make your day! The biking through the vineyards gives you such a different perspective because you are able to go where cars do not go! Biking downhill gives you such a satisfying feeling and combined with the excellent wine tastings en-route and all explanations from the guide, I had an amazing day! 10/10 would recommend!
