GREATTT EXPERIENCE!! Book it - We had an excellent experience with Pamela. She went out of her way to plan our tour so we could see the most possible in the few hours we had. Always helpful and full of knowledge of the areas, the scenery is beautiful and the vineyards are beautiful. Definitely, a highlight of our trip.

Excellent custom tour! - Pamela was a great tour guide. We hired her for our group of 5 to pick us up from our cruise and take us to wineries, a chocolatier, and provide a scenic tour as well. She can customize it to your liking, all we had to do was let her know our wishes. The van was spacious and comfortable and we were happy to not be cramped on a group tour bus. Our first stop was at a chocolatier for samples which were delicious! I wish I had purchased some chocolate to eat with the wine tastings! We then went to 4 different wineries/vineyards and had a wonderful experience with each of them. We enjoyed the education about the land and wine business and New Zealand, in general, that Pamela provided during the commute, as well. We went to a local restaurant for lunch which served fantastic food and were pleased with Pamela's recommendation. We had the opportunity for quite a few scenic photos through the travels and we returned to our drop off point in plenty of time to make it back to the ship. If you have the chance to book a private tour with Pamela while in Picton, it will be worth it!

Loved Picton Tour with Your Local Chauffer. - We recently travelled to Picton on Radiance of the Seas cruise and decided to book a half day Picton and Marlborough region tour with tour company “Your Local Chauffeur”. My parents, husband and myself LOVED it. Paul our guide was lovely and very informative. We had some great Aussie /NZ rivalry and banter along the way. Paul did everything to make our trip enjoyable and even detouring for our group for an amazing photo opportunity. We went to some wineries, chocolate factory and had the best NZ mussels ever! Paul, you are a truly lovely human. Thank you for a great day. Highly recommended.

Shore Excursion to Marlborough Region - Thank you Pamela ( Your local chaffeur) for your expertise and friendliness. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the three wineries, cheese and chocolate tastings. We recommend Pamela when cruising into Picton.
