"Bites&Sites surpassed all expectations with their unique offering and their acute attention the finest detail. What an amazing experience with the best hosts and outstanding food in the most beautiful surroundings. A winning team with a winning recipe. Thank you, Simon Jacobs!"
"An experience everybody needs to do at least once in their life! The food is next level and the tour guides are professional, friendly and passionate about Stellenbosch."
"We had the pleasure of meeting Simone for the Bites in a Box tour - it was fabulous! The way Simone was able to accommodate our family (dietary restrictions and young kids) was beyond what we imagined. The coffee tasting (tea for the kids) was delicious, all the food was fantastic, and the historical information and art sites were so well incorporated. We felt very safe with the covid protocols and enjoyed walking around beautiful Stellenbosch! Simone even had some suggestions for things we could do after the tour. We would do any tour with Bites and Sites again in a heartbeat!
"Bites in a Box brought back a sense of togetherness and enjoyment like we hadn't experienced since the pandemic started. A safe, socially distant tour that was exactly the spirit-lifter we needed! All of our treats were beautifully boxed and our walking tour was insightful and so interesting. Would 100% do it all over again and can't wait to go on my next one!"
"Bites and Sites is a great initiative that always seeks to bridge the gap amongst people from different backgrounds. The KhayaMandi tours among others is a perfect example of one such initiatives, as they are informative, well structured and guided by very professional yet friendly personnel. I will recommend Bites and Sites to any visitor or tourist."
"Was an interesting experience! We were lucky to have Marlene as our guide... entertaining and always considering each ones needs. We enjoyed really good Craft beer at De Stomme Jonge, some very moreish gin pairing at Jardine's and ended our tour with a delicious lunch and coffee experience at The Blue Crane & The Butterfly. Was lovely day out and highly recommendable!"
Foodies on Foot was a hoot! Learned so much about Stellenbosch's rich history and ate our way through town at incredible spots. Food = great! Drinks = great! Tour guide = great! Information = great! Highly recommended for local and international tourists.

EXCELLENT Based on 165 reviews Posted on Tripadvisor jpvacances14/03/2026Verified An interesting walking tour. An excellent walking tour at a very easy pace with a number of different food stops. We felt that we learned a lot about the history of Stellenbosch as well as getting to try all sorts of different local dishes and drinks. Our guide was very friendly and made sure that we got the very best out of the session. We would certainly recommend.Posted on Tripadvisor Bobbie W26/02/2026Verified Make this your first stop in Stellenbosch!! Simone was a wonderful, local guide. We enjoyed history, intimate stories, and wonderful tastings on our tour. I would suggest doing this tour at the beginning of your visit so you can enjoy the foods and sites you learn about during your stay. 100% recommend this tour!Posted on Tripadvisor RC1234567826/01/2026Verified A lovely way to see the town We had a lovely tour with Anne. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. She expertly guided us around the town, sharing her knowledge and the food stops that had been were arranged were lovely. We would thoroughly recommend the tour and our thanks to Anne.Posted on Tripadvisor Kristin W19/01/2026Verified Kulinarischer Stadtspaziergang mit ganz viel Herz Wir hatten am 30.12. das Vergnügen gemeinsam mit Simone die Foodies on foot Tour zu machen und es war einfach großartig! Nach ersten interessanten Eindrücken rund um die Entstehung Stellenboschs unternahmen wir einen Spaziergang durch die so wunderschöne und geschichtsträchtige Stadt, zu der Simone an jeder Ecke tolle Hintergrund Informationen parat hatte. Auf unserem Weg hielten wir immer wieder in Restaurants an, die mit ganz besonderer Sorgfalt von dem Unternehmen Bites and Sites ausgewählt werden. Alle samt haben sie einen lokalen Bezug, was das ganze Erlebnis noch nahbarer macht und eine ganz besondere Bindung zu dem Ort aufbauen lässt. Und nicht zuletzt war alles, was wir probieren durften unglaublich lecker! :-) Wir hatten fantastische Stunden gemeinsam und können die Tour nur wärmstens empfehlen! Danke liebe Simone!!Posted on Tripadvisor Maddy S12/01/2026Verified Een zeer goede inkijk in het leven van de gekleurde Afrikanen. En de problemen die er spelen zijn precies dezelfde Wij deden een wandeltour door Kayamandi, de township van Stellenbosch. Onze gids Sam was echt geweldig! Wij starten bij Amazink. De wandeling duurde ruim 1,5 uur. We kregen veel mooie verhalen over hoe deze township was ontstaan , maar ook over wie er nu wonen, de samenstelling van de communities. Veel uitleg over de scholen, religies, arbeid en community werk. Een echte aanrader dus!Posted on Tripadvisor Inspiration82822306/01/2026Verified Splendid! Bites and sites food tour with Simone was splendid! The tour is a wonderful way to learn about Stellenbosch history and culture while tasting wonderful local foods paired with the perfect beverage. Although we stopped at four different places for food, it was the right just the right amount and I never felt stuffed. Seeing the museum at Stellenbosch to start the tour was a memorable part of the tour also. Being led by Simone, we felt like we were visiting a dear friend who was showing us around her charming hometown.Posted on Tripadvisor Alexander T04/12/2025Verified Terrific tour! Would love to revisit. A wonderful town, full of vibe, sun and wine. Great crew of fairies who guide you through it. Meticulously chosen places with food and drinks, very high quality with great atmosphere. All that is nicely blended with the elements of history of the town. All that, together with the commitment of the guides (you see them love their town, love what they do) made this experience unforgettable. I personally think that visiting South Africa, especially Cape area is unthinkable without visiting Stellenbosch. Many thanks!Posted on Tripadvisor Global6478626920813/11/2025Verified So professional ! “Wow, incredible. What a beautiful day. Right from the start, the guide drew us completely into her story — her Stellenbosch. It was wonderful. We discovered little hidden corners, charming restaurants, truly amazing food and delicious drinks. We loved every moment of it and we’ll definitely be back. The two Belgian guys.”Posted on Tripadvisor Kayla T12/11/2025Verified Simone Made Our Honeymoon Extra Special! We had the absolute best time on our Bites & Sites Food Tour in Stellenbosch, September 2025! We were lucky enough to be led by Simone, the owner, and let me just say, she is an absolute gem. Her warmth, passion, and deep knowledge of Stellenbosch, its history, and its incredible food scene made this experience one of my favorite tours of all time (and one I still talk about to this day!). I have a few dietary restrictions and tend to be a little picky about food, but the team went above and beyond to accommodate me, and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. My husband is now officially addicted to Appletiser. Thank you, Simone, for making our honeymoon that much more special. This tour was such a highlight of our trip and one we’ll never forget.Posted on Tripadvisor crstravels10/11/2025Verified A fabulous day out. Next time we stay over! Wow, what a treat! I brought a small group to Capetown and was lucky enough to have time for a day trip to Stellenbosch where we were gifted with the wonderful Simone who showed us the sites and bites of this lovely getaway. As a travel advisor I get lots of feedback from clients and friends who have been on various tours and this was a home run as we say!
