Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The views were amazing. Short though. The tour guide was very helpful. One disappointing side, water was not provided.

This wine tour was incredible. It was one of our favorite days of our ten day trip. We were able to visit 4 wineries and enjoyed some wonderful local wines.

A trip to paradise

We had a great trip with Nigel, who was our guide for the day. His friendly banter and wit was a delight through out the journey and made our experience so much more special. The vehicle was super comfortable and we had no trouble at all.

Additionally, while returning back, Nigel took us to a secret location where we got some of the best shots of the day. Highly recommended and looking forward to more such experiences!

Winery Tour with Nigel

Jun 2023 • Couples

Nigel was such an amazing guide and driver for the day! We got picked up promptly at the pickup site in town, and because it was just my partner and I Nigel accommodated where we wanted to go with a few scenic stops along the way. He told us some great facts about QT history, and just had great chats in general. Would highly recommend!!

The best wine tour ever.

A great service, delivered with panache. Sam the driver was outstanding. Very knowledgeable, had the right friendly but I’m in charge balance. Very accomodating. The concept of a drop off and pick up schedule worked really well.

Glenorchy

Apr 2023 • Solo

Picked up promptly at the designated time and location. Appreciated the small size of the group. Our driver had a quirky/ odd sense of humor (it has to be difficult trying to entertain a variety of people) which may have been lost on a group of people who don’t speak English as a primary language. He did offer some historical information and pointed out places of interest. We made one stop for photos on our way to Glenorchy. Had a couple hours of free time to wander and efficient return home. This is a very hands off trip. Essentially you are getting a ride, which is primarily what I was looking for!

a perfect morning in Glenorchy

We spent a perfect morning in Glenorchy, driven by Ernie. He was a great driver, full of facts about the history of the area around Queenstown and Glenorchy- we learned a lot and enjoyed the jokes! Glenorchy itself was cute little town- we had perfect weather and spent about an hour on the loop around the lagoon then stopped in at some of the shops before returning to Queenstown. Just the right amount of time to see everything we wanted to. We'd highly recommend this trip.

Nice but not VIP

Had a quite lovely day exploring the wine region. Most wineries were nice and interesting. Wouldn’t say this is a VIP experience. The driver didn’t really know about the wineries so it was difficult to choose. More information than just a timetable would have been helpful. Also asked them for a recommendation for a lunch reservation at booking but didn’t receive an answer. Positive; fewer people and nicer car than the other tours. Most tastings are 15$. So for 2 people you have to add another 120$.
