Not only was this the best wine tour, it was the best tour because John Hartley also gave us an education on South Africa. Very informative and adapted the tour to our interest. John is well educated on wine and his passion for the art of wine making is evident, as is his love of the area.

John took my wife and I on an amazing tour. We were there with one other couple and we had a blast! Five wineries in one day and an incredible lunch that was delicious, with excellent service and a spectacular view and all for only $35 USD for both of us for Ostrich, lamb, and wine. Fantastic day, and tons... More

Fantastic tour. Gudrun looked after us so well. A knowledgeable guide who didn't mind the many questions! We were led by the flowers rather than a set itinerary. Accommodation very comfortable and food plentiful. Highly recommended. If I find myself in Capetown again, wouldn't hesitate to use Happy Holiday.

Thanks to the lovely Gudrun and Wendy, our family enjoyed the most spectacular day out around the Stellenbosch area. Not only did we get to taste an incredible array of wines and visit the surrounding wineries, Wendy was the most knowledgable, friendly and hospitable host. We felt like we'd known her for years by the end of the day! Definitely... More

We only had 24 hours in Stellenbosch, but Gudrun and HappyHoliday helped make that one of the highlights of our month in Africa!! Always smiling, friendly and knowledgeable of the Stellenbosch-area and its history, winemaking and architecture.

My wife and I had the pleasure of Gudrun's company on a delightful day of wine tasting in the Winelands. Arriving just after breakfast in her luxury Mercedes van, Gudrun greeted us with an infectious smile and a suggestion to start the day with some of the Capes finest fizz... Graham Beck! During our short drive there we shared our... More

Happy Holidays was recommended on our hotels website so we decided to book the winelands day tour during our holiday this December. The service was absolutely brilliant, I emailed Gudrun to ask about availability and she replied to me straight away – very efficient. The tour itself was amazing and definitely the best day of our holiday. We were picked... More

I was in Capetown & Stellenbosch for business in July 2010, I was lucky enough to join the lovely Gudrun for a winelands day tour in and around Stellenbosch. Gudrun was so accommodating to special requests of the group such as stopping off at points of interest or for photo opportunities. We never felt rushed and the pace was relaxed.... More

We asked our hotel to recommend a guided day tour of the Wine Areas of Stellenbosch as we had no idea where to start. they recommended happy holidays (to be honest i was sceptical) looked at the website and opted to book. Gudrun was amazing, picked us up from the guest house, asked us where we wanted to go or... More
