Intern Kyle's Journey with Bikes 'n Wines.

In just two months, Kyle is feeling a newfound confidence. He’s learned how to overcome his natural shyness and is growing more comfortable in his role as a trainee tour guide. One key lesson Kyle has embraced is situational awareness - remaining calm and prepared when unexpected challenges arise on tour.

His favourite memory so far? On tour in Franschhoek, giving guests a deeper understanding of the area's different communities, from the wealthy to the less fortunate. “They really appreciated us showing them both sides.”

We’re proud of Kyle’s journey and excited for what’s to come as he continues to evolve with us!
