A great way to visit the Marlborough region - A great way to visit the various wineries in the Marlborough area. It’s great that you can pick and choose where you want to visit and know that there is another bus within the next 30 minutes. All the drivers were very knowledgeable about the area and they were all very helpful.

Good valve - Easy to find in Picton, just where the shuttle buses drop off. We had wine tastings at 2 wineries set and both were good. Excellent lunch at St Claire’s winery.

Great cruise day excursion - Great way to spend a day in Picton on our cruise. Very well run operation and much cheaper than booking on the ship.

Staff were amazing - On arrival at the bus we were greeted by a very professional young man who was so helpful and kind, the drivers of the bus were very knowledgeable about the area and were amazing. The disappointing part of this experience was the way the “boss” treated her staff. I was appalled by the way she spoke to the young man serving us and the way she spoke to our bus driver. Bully!

Wine Tour Hop-on-Hop Off - This was an OK excursion but there were a few little kinks. The Buses we consistently late arriving at each winery and many of the wineries had closed the tastings for the day due to too many requests for the tastings. We did manage to get in two and the one at Rimapere was the best. The second, Allan Scott Winery was a unique experience due to their system of running the tastings (wine bottles were behind glass and had little spigots, you put in your wine card and picked how much wine you wanted in each pour) however, the wine was not as good as that at Rimapere. I was not aware that you could pre-book tastings at the various wineries and I think that would have been the thing to do in order to be able to enjoy more tasting.

Only for people who drink wine - This is a great trip if you like wineries but too long in between stops and you can’t do all stops in the time. Does not cater for people with mobility issues but that is not on website. Boring if you do not do wineries

Overpriced Uber - Hop on hop off are expensive Uber tour, no time to stop more than 1 or two locations. All the good wineries were booked. No way to book because you don’t know when you arrive at locations.

No refund when cruise ship could not dock - Unfortunately this business kept my money despite the cruise ship not being able to dock due to weather. My advice is do not pre book with this company, out of all the people on the cruise ship we spoke to and the cruise Facebook group, this was the only tour that kept money. The reason given was not enough hours notice, they were notified well prior to the start of the day. There is only so much notice that can be given when at the mercy of the sea conditions. Unfortunately the amount was just shy of our excess so unable to claim insurance.
