Loved our day with Matt! - I heard about Matt and his wine walk through a friend and am SO glad that I took her suggestion and booked a tour when I had friends visiting from the U.S. As a teacher, I love a good story and appreciate someone who is both knowledgeable and passionate about sharing stories. Matt’s stories were funny, insightful, and taught me a ton about South Africa, people pivotal in Franschhoek’s development and history. Matt is a great storyteller who is super responsive and creates a beautiful and memorable experience for his guests. You will not regret booking a tour with Matt!

Great Walking Tour not to be missed. - A great experience. Matt kept us updated prior to our departure from the UK.
Start point is obvious and easy to find.
Matt was on time and welcoming.
It was clear from the onset that he's very passionate about what he does, and it made for an enjoyable experience.
We booked the trip for the walk, the scenery and the information.
We weren't disappointed in the slightest.
Even as a none drinker the tour was great. The views were stunning. The background and information on the area was insightful and well presented by Matt. He really wants people to enjoy the tour.
If you're going to do the tour for the wine as well I'm confident, from overheard comments from other people at the various winerys you WON'T be disappointed!
There were snacks at each stop. The culminating lunch was superb and was a great end to an interesting and insightful walk.
Please note the walk isn't taxing, is led by Matt at a nice pace.
Matt seems a lovely guy and wants people to enjoy the whole experience. Much better than driving yourself or taking the wine tram/bus in our opinion.

A feel good experience! - We did the Franschhoek Wine Wander on an absolutely boiling hot summers day, but the beautiful 4 km walk was very relaxed and could be enjoyed by almost any fitness level. Matt is full of interesting facts and humorous anecdotes and really keeps you entertained. He clearly is passionate about what he does. The scenery was absolutely stunning, being surrounded by beautiful mountains and strolling through vineyards and manicured gardens (at Leeu). The food and wine was also divine, especially the harvest table lunch at the end! I highly recommend this tour and would definitely do it again.

A different perspective of Franschoek - I can truly say it was a great day out. Matt has an extensive knowledge with regards to the Franschoek area history and is a great story teller. The walk was at a comfortable pace with many photo oppertunities along the route. Two highlight for me was stopping enroute to enjoy a glass of Pierre Jordaan complimented by a Pasteis De Nate, lunch was at La cotte, excellent views. Would i do a walking tour with Matt again? Most definetly, well worth the 5 stars awarded.

What a fabulous Day with great stories along the way to end a perfectly Great day to Remember!
