Booking FAQs

Depending on your chosen booking date, you will join a different tram line. The final departure point is the V&A Waterfront Tour office. Other pick-up points might be available depending on feasibility. This is a hop-on hop-off tour, not a guided tour. The activities on the Red line require pre-booking directly with the estates. Check the route map for more information. Ongoing roadworks in the Franschhoek, Simondium, and Klapmuts areas are causing intermittent traffic delays. To ensure a seamless experience and minimize wait times, the operator may temporarily adjust affected routes and lines as needed. All five lines (Blue, Red, Pink, Navy, and Orange) are currently available for booking. The Red Line is temporarily operating with bus transfers between estates in place of the tram; all stops remain accessible. Note that Franschhoek Cellar (Blue, Red, and Pink lines) is closed June 8–12, 2026.
