Wine not, do cycling wine tour, great experience would highly recommend! - Loved every moment, smooth pic up from oir acommodation and our guide Roo was fantastic, we really enjoyed his company and he was very knowledgeable. Did 3 guided stops, gorgeous wine and met great ladies at each winery who educated us on the vineyard story and wine and made us feel very welcome, comfortable and relaxed. Laid back atmosphere in each vineyeard. Then we had about 3 hours self guided tour and Roo gave us some great tips and a map so we felt very comfortable doing the second half of the day on our own. Couldn't fault it, would recommend as a must do when visiting south island and would tell everyone to do it with Explore Marlborough wine tours!

A wonderfully relaxed way to visit Marlborough's cellar doors - Had a fabulous day exploring the wines of Marlborough by bike .. We were well looked after by our guide and by staff at each of the cellar doors. Cycling along quite roads and tracks between the vineyards is a great way to soak up the atmosphere of Marlborough

A great experience - a super introduction to Marlborough's wine country. - This tour was great. The morning guided section was well structured, with easy cycling along quiet lanes accompanied by knowledgeable commentary. The three vineyards we stopped at for tasting were all super high quality and we were made to feel very welcome. Our guide gave us great tips for lunch (though the best tip is to book a few days in advance) and where to go in the afternoon. The people we met on the trip were all great fun.

Fantastic Day Out - We thoroughly enjoyed our half day wine tour in the Marlborough region with Morris as our guide. Morris gave us some really interesting facts about winemaking in the region and he also shared some of his local knowledge. The wines that we tried were great and the company also kindly allowed us to take the bikes to one more vineyard ourselves before returning to the base in the evening. A great day out and I would highly recommend.

Thoroughly enjoyable day thanks to our guide Karen - A great day mixing some cycling, wine tasting and good food, made all the better because of Karen our guide. She picked us up from our motel and took us home at the end. More importantly Karen was friendly and very knowledgeable about wine and the Marlborough region. Even if you know about NZ wine I would still recommend this tour. A great day

Fun Day out, Great Service, Great Location - We hired bikes for the afternoon to do a self tour of the beautiful Marlborough wine region and both be able to do some wine tasting at multiple estates. Great to be picked up at our town centre hotel, taken to central area for easy close wine touring by bike and dropped off safely after an enjoyable day sampling wine at multiple estates as part of the package. Friendly good service and advice, good bikes and good location.

A relaxing yet active afternoon of fun. - The staff are enthusiastic and very friendly. We were fitted for our e-bikes and spent the afternoon having fun on the routes and stopping for wine tasting and lunch. The bikes were great and the winery suggestions were well selected.
