Rudi was an exceptional guide! He was knowledgeable, catered towards our interests, and loved talking about wine. He brought us to four vineyards and we had a delicious lunch at Delheim. Thank you again for everything!

Exceptional Service in Stellenbosch! I cannot recommend this private driver service enough! They provided seamless transfers for my entire trip, starting with a stress-free pickup from the airport straight to my hotel. They also drove me around to various vineyards, which made exploring the beautiful Stellenbosch wine region completely effortless and enjoyable. The drivers were incredibly kind, highly professional, and strictly on time for every single pickup. If you are looking for reliable, comfortable, and top-tier transportation in the area, look no further! I will definitely be using them again.
Outstanding day led by Rudi. We couldn’t have asked for more! Rudi is a great host, knowledgeable, engaging and well liked by the wine farms visited. Thank you so much, we loved it.
Just returned from a great trip to South Africa - beautiful country with amazing warm hearted people. We went on a 12 day safari with &Beyond (fabulous and will review separately) but prior to and post safari, we were looked after by Rudi John Smith from Straight to the Vines. He organised our pick up, transfers, tours around Cape Town and nearby areas & after our safari, we spent 5 days with him exploring the wine farms and understanding the wine culture of Franschoek and Stellenbosch areas. It was an absolute blast - everything was well organised and our party of 6 enjoyed the VIP treatment at the various wine farms (through Rudi’s connections). Rudi was professional, caring and listened to what his guests wanted and did his best to deliver an amazing experience for all. A cheerful and sociable person, he is very knowledgeable about wines and made sure we visited some of the best wine farms that showcased the wines of the region. Highly recommend his services if anyone is planning a visit to Capetown and beyond. Rudi will work with you to tailor a visit to your specific needs. Top class!
Rudi John Smith made my Cape Town trip unforgettable—professional, punctual, and always ensuring I felt safe and comfortable as a solo traveler. From stunning tours to world-class wine tastings, I can’t recommend him highly enough!
