The lady who gave the tour was very nice and knowledgeable, however I wasnt very impressed with the tour itself. The vineyards we went to were nice but best part of the tour was the lunch and that was all about the company! more

The Wine Desk greatly values its ratings on Tripadvisor and welcomes all feedback. Anything that clients may find unsatisfactory is taken very seriously and every effort is made to change and/or improve this. As such incidents are the exception and not the norm for our tours, we like to take action immediately and put right what is wrong. In order...

We booked three tours but due to a bout of food poisoining at Quay 4 had to skip one. The two we had were very good, unfortunatly the tours are only as good as - the guide and the transport. Our first guide was great, humourous, knowedgable, and good company, the second knew his stuff, he was a bit more... more

We had the best experience with the Wine Desk and I'd like to spread the word. From beginning to end, all emails were answered quickly and all hotels organized fit our family perfectly. Ligia went above and beyond and ordered Robben Island tickets for us when I was unable to get through on the phone. South Africa is an extraordinary... more

While planning for our trip to Cape Town I stumbled upon the Wine Desk Waterfront website and began emailing with Ligia about activities to do in Cape Town. She was absolutely phenomenal and not only did she arrange our wine tour, but she created an entire itinerary for us for the duration of our stay in Cape Town. Ligia made... more

My husband and I visited wine country outside of Cape Town, South Africa recently on vacation and had a wonderful experience booking with the Wine Desk Waterfront. The Wine Desk staff recommended wonderful accomodations and arranged for everything - all we did was just show up! The best part of the excursion by far was our personal wine tasting guide... more

Ligia and her team are outstanding..... We only had 5 days in Cape Town at the start of our honeymoon... I send dozens of e-mails to Ligia - asking questions, she replied to them all promptly and gave me some fantastic advice... We booked a private tour to Cape Point and a Winelands full day tour through Ligia - both... more

With only one and a half days in Capetown, every minute counts. So I arranged a private wine tasting and sightseeing tour through Ligia Coito, at Wine Desk. Ligia also recommended and booked a hotel and arranged airport transfers. All of her arrangements were excellent, including the wineries she arranged for me to visit. De Trafford and Thelema wineries were... more

This was my first visit to Cape Town in mid May 2008 with the intention of devoting a fair amount of time to side trips to the Winelands. Discovered the Wine Desk @ The Waterfront via Platters Wine Guide and cross referenced to the favourable reviews on Trip Advisor. Various e-mail exchanges with the very helpful Ligia before I left... more
