- Donald D0 contributionsA must Do!Having done similar wine tasting tours through the years, on multiple continents, I don’t recall any which would compare to this one. It was professionally handled, unique in multiple aspects, from pick up to drop off, which was a result of our driver/guide being attentive to every little detail which made the experience memorable for every member of our group. It was a blast. Much thanks Do!!Written 16 January 2025

And safe driver. Clear, patient, explained local knowledge, used Māori language, kept passengers updated with times for stops and what needed to know to get most out of the day.Written 12 January 2025
- CornishDoll0 contributionsWine-Tasting-Tastic!!We had a fabulous day with Ana and Altitude Wine Tours in the central Otago region of Queenstown. Throughout the day, Ana was asking after us, checking we were ok, and making sure we knew what time we were needed to be back at the bus/meeting point; she is very friendly, chatty and shows a genuine interest when talking to you. Equally, the staff at the vineyards were welcoming too, and had a wealth of knowledge about the many MANY samples! A thoroughly enjoyable day out. Thank you!Written 11 January 2025
- Excursion374050866680 contributionsGlorious Day In Every Way,Many companies can arrange a drive and boat trip, through magnificent scenery. James, our guide, and some of the passengers on the bus made this a rollicking adventure from start to finish! James conveyed more information than I can ever hold on my head with skill and wit. His care and shepherding a group of tourists through coffee stops and scenic stops and weird questions went above and beyond. When I got home I read their website or carefully and I’m also impressed with their philosophy of sustainability. We just had a blast!Written 6 January 2025

What a fabulous evening we had. Gorgeous wineries and wines, and a wonderful group on the bus. Holly our guide is just wonderful. We loved this (and her) so much we booked the full day wine sampler tour for a few days later. We were on the twilight tour with a contiki group - and as a more mature couple we initially thought Oh oh! We couldn't have been more wrong. We were all firm friends at the end of the evening. So much laughter and stunning scenery. Wines are amazing. We definitely recommend it. Thanks Holly and thanks Altitude! We did 3 tours with you during our stay and each one was perfect.

Our tour guide, Jono, was fun, informative and kind. I was a little apprehensive at first as we are a couple in our late 50's with a van full of 20 somethings. But the wine bridged the age gap and we ended up having a great time. The 3 stops were awesome, and we were well taken care of at each. You could just tell this company has a great reputation by their reception at each winery/brewery. By the end we were all singing in the van and even went to the 20 something's after party at their hostel. Don't miss this fun tour and ask for Jono!

I missed some of the tour and was able to attend the third spot. The wine was not good, gave me a huge headache. Others also complained. And the quantity of food (anti pasta) was too little.
If you want to cancel needs to be within 48 hours which is annoying, should be 24 hours
Not really worth the price, my friends suggest other places

Great tour with Ana as our guide and driver. Great stop in Santa Rosa, nice vintner selections and beer at all three stops for the beer drinkers. Everyone was happy and the bus karaoke was in capable hands of one of the passengers. Great fun 🤩

A lovely afternoon spent with Danny doing a 3 venue wine tour. He was extremely knowledgeable and fun to be around. All of the wines were very drinkable with the Kinross winery really standing out. Many thanks...ps, the restaurant recommendation (Botswana Butchery) was very appreciated.

We did two tours with Altitude Tours, two days in a row and they were the best two tours I've ever done, anywhere in the world. The first tour was a private tour with the lovely, Alia. She took us sight seeing and to numerous vineyards - it was absolutely MAGIC. Alia was so knowledgeable, fun and I had one of the best days I've ever had. The next day we did the mission to the Milford Sound with Tania. The "bus" (a gorgeous 16 seater) was so comfortable, Tania was a wonderful guide, talking us through each area, stopping plenty of times there and back (I was a bit worried about toilet breaks, but there was absolutely nothing to worry about) and then the Milford Sound... it's got to be seen to be believed, even then, it's unbelievable, and well worth the long drive there and back. I will never go with any other tour company in Queenstown and will recommend Altitude Tours to anyone and everyone. Thank you SO much Alia, Tanya and Altitude Tours.

The experience was great. We had the option of doing beer or wine at 2 of the 3 stops. One of the stop is a brewery too but i still went with wine for the entire night. Perfect mid afternoon wine tour. Our tour guide Alia is nothing less of remarkable! She made us feel at home and very attentive to everyone in the group regardless how exotic you may be!

Had the most incredible time with our friends on this wine tour led by Elaina (sorry if I’ve spelt this incorrectly!). Her infectious energy meant we knew we were going to have an incredible day from the first minute and it didn’t disappoint. All day, she was nothing short of fantastic. Would go on the tour again just for the vibes, but the wineries were fantastic as well, especially Kinross!

Sorry for the delay, I forgot it's been a while, the first one looked like a church, the second one was more out doorsy like patio style and the last looked like a barn that served beer and pizza.
