While South Africa's fertile valleys are world famous for their crisp white and classic French-style red wines, the area is also a treasury of rustic beauty and sprawling estates shaded by giant oak trees. Our drive today will include the country's principal wine routes of Paarl, Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, with a stop en route for lunch (for own account).
Our day starts with a visit to Paarl where you will be struck by the beauty of the Valley, the pristine blue sky, the rolling vineyards, and the Pearl of Paarl set high above the valley. Paarl made headlines when President Mandela was released from the Groot Drakenstein prison (formerly known as Victor Verster prison), on the outskirts of the town, to freedom and the start of the new South Africa. We enjoy a wine tasting at one of the local estates.
From Paarl, we'll continue north-west to the beautiful village of Franschhoek, near the Drakenstein Mountains founded in 1688 by French immigrants fleeing the Huguenot religious persecution in Europe. A memorial in the town commemorates the arrival of these early settlers who helped develop the wines sought after by Napoleon, Bismarck, and royalty such as Edward VII, the Prince of Wales. Here we will stop for lunch (for own account) and another wine tasting at a local vineyard.
We'll then head to Stellenbosch, the second oldest town in South Africa and the historic heart of the country's wine region. In 1679, Dutch East India Company governor Simon van der Stel, recognized the fertility of this long valley on the banks of the Eerste River, as perfect for vineyards. Enjoy a final wine tasting before returning to Cape Town.

It was fantastic though I would not call it a vacation. Constantly on the go, no rest for the very. Tour director was awesome as was the coach driver.

You get an excellent overview of all the varied regions, history and culinary traditions of the people of Italy. The scenery is outstanding and my dream of seeing Pompeii was the capstone. I majored in archaeology in college so seeing all of the sites we studied was a wish come true. And visiting the Vatican museums, upon coming out int St Peter’s Square, we happened upon the weekly Papal Audience which was a fun bonus as Pope Leo is from just down the road from my home!

Really couldn’t fault this itinerary it covered everyone’s likes from start to finish. Whilst we had been to France previously I was delighted with the “new” areas we covered.

Insight Vacations created an amazing itinerary. I’ve been on several land tours with other companies, but this one exceeded my expectations. The tour took us to so many beautiful places in the Fench countryside. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone!

Unfortunately we had water trips cancelled. I would suggest catching Cinque Terre at La Spezzia not Manarola which is too difficult Also the hotel in Rome was poor quality and poor location Otherwise a very good itinerary
