Lisa was a knowledgeable and great guide. She went above and beyond. She also insured that everyone made it back safely to their accommodation. The transportation was optimal.

Bruce was very knowledgeable and friendly. Had a great time. Lunch was good. Enjoyed the company, even though advertisement said 8 maximum people. There were 10 of us.

It's been the perfect day for a tour around the vineyards. Great driver, great people on the bus bus and perfect weather. Ray (our driver) even surprised us with a quick stop at the local chocolate manufactory which was totally worth it. I'd given five stars if there would have been some time allowed to stroll around the vineyards too. But the schedule was too tight, yet lovely every minute.

Met by Steve at our motel. Steve was THE MOST wonderful guide for the day. His knowledge of the area, NZ and wine and wine growing was fantastic and gave an amazing insight to wine and wine growing in Marlborough.
All the vineyards were well appointed with friendly and knowledgeable staff. We had a fantastic lunch at Saint Clair which was part of the day.
Thank you to Steve for a wonderful day, one which will always be remembered with a smile.
This full day tour has to be the best in NZ!!
