The Franschhoek Wine Tram hop-on hop-off tour is one of the best ways to discover the true essence of the Franschhoek Valley. Passengers aboard the hop-on hop-off tour will experience a unique and leisurely way to see the Franschhoek Valley as they journey through rolling vineyards in a double-decker tram and open-air tram-bus stopping in at some of South Africa’s oldest and most distinguished wine estates. A combination of tram and tram-bus transports passengers around a loop of stops allowing them to hop-off at each stop and experience the activities on offer, be it wine tasting, a cellar tour, lunch or simply a stroll through the vineyards and when they are ready, hop-on to continue the tour.

Although the wine tram staff were really helpful , can’t fault them at all. The vineyards treat all wine tram visitors with disdain don’t give you clean glasses for each wine tasting, poor selection …Full review by Blackisle

Hello, what time is the last tram back? 6pm? Is it possible to Uber back or pre order taxi if one would want to enjoy dinner in one of the wineries after 6pm?
. Im planning on booking the tram in early November 2023. Neither of us drink much so its really more for the experience. Is it possible to only spend half a day , 3 hours or so on the tram and if so how do we get back to the terminal before the 5pm end of day dropoff? Thank you

Hello. There is a detailed schedule of times for the tram (I believe they past the wineries every 35 minutes) you could pick the route with the best times closer to the station to suit the exact time when you want to be back at the end of the day. I would go to the website and plan your wine route before you get there. The website gives you all the times and stops it will help you figure out the best route time wise. When we did the route the tram times were very prompt. Keep in mind that the last trams of the day are very full, especially on the weekends and can be a bit slower getting back to the main stations. I hope this helps. Enjoy!
About how much would a taxi from the cruise port to the tram departure point cost?
A:
You could get an uber to the tram terminal. But they aren't common in Franschoek, so you'd risk getting stuck without a ride back. Better to arrange a driver to take and drop your off.
