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.

Great initially, but be aware to not follow the full time table… the driver doesn’t want to follow the full time table if no one is at one of the stops so we had to pay for a $100 taxi from an hacker to arrowtown at 3pm because driver decided not going back to arrowtown even though it was on the timetable… wow price of the the tour bus plus some just to get home

Hello Thank you for your review. To be clear and I'm sure you are aware as the driver rang me while speaking to you, the buses do follow the time table, but we do not go backwards. The other bus left Arrowtown at the normal time and you wanted to bus from Gibbston valley to take you back to Arrowtown which it could not as it would then be late for everyone else on the run in the valley. The cost to run the bus back to Arrowtown is $80 which you would like us to pay? we are not a taxi. Sorry again buses work in forward motion they do not go backwards, if anyone asks to get on in Arrowtown we tell them this, you got on in Queenstown. Thanks HOHO

We had an awesome day out ! The self guided aspect of the trip makes the day really fun planning which wineries/breweries to go to, and the variety of choice is fantastic! (24 venues!). The driver was friendly and knowledgeable and provided some tips to get the most out of our day. If you're into your wine or simply want to get out on the booze with your mates, and not have to worry about "who's going to be the sober driver" this is a Queenstown MUST DO.
The wristbands everyone gets given at the start give you special discounts at the venues. Brilliant !
We will be returning to hit the spots we missed !

This is a great little service that takes you around all the wine spots and a reasonable price. One driver we had was lovely and had great commentary, but the main bus driver was awful, extremely grumpy and publically berated us over the loudspeaker for not understanding the booking system for larger groups. He would not stop telling us off over the loudspeaker so I could make phone calls to rectify an honest mistake of not pre-booking, which, as it turned out, wasn't an issue at all! He acted in this way to everyone who hopped on and off the bus. Part of our crew decided not to continue the remainder of this trip because of his attitude, and we cringed every time we saw it was him collecting us and not the other, much nice driver.

Hello hahaha we do not think this is funny, as you have created this account to write this review. No one in a big group lately hasnt booked places nor has no one not caught our bus back and due to you not putting any name on here we believe this to be not true. If it was genuine you would have put you name and you did not book though Viator.

What a great way to experience the wineries around Queenstown. It was a last minute plan for us so we did not have any reservations as required by some of the wineries, but we were able to still enjoy a number of them. Unfortunately many of the wineries are still feeling the affect of not having enough employees to cover the needs, so it slowed us down considerably, but a great experience non the less.

Hi Questovia, Wow thanks for your 5 star review! We are so glad that you got to experience our tour and enjoyed it. Yes unfortunately short staffing is a concern across all regions in New Zealand but we have found many of our venues are coping well with this.
We hope to see you again soon

A great day out with friendly drivers and on time buses. Our drivers were lovely and provided good info on the wineries and region. Highlights were definitely the Canyon Brew Co at the Shotover (stunning scenery), Mora and Mt Rosa wineries. The platters at Mt Rosa and beanbags to relax in were a hit. Highly recommend this tour for a wonderful day of tastings and sightseeing :)

Hello 992mar, Thanks so much for the 5 star review! Queenstown is stunning isn't it. Always a good treat to be able to kick back and relax isn't it. Its not just about wine & beer but also the stunning scenery which we think makes the whole experience even better so it sounds like you had a wonderful day.
We hope to see you again soon.
Thanks

Hi guys just a question for those that have done the full day. What’s the best stops? I was thinking Amisfield, wet jacket then maybe gibbston valley for lunch/ platter then perhaps my Rosa and or Brennan wines. Is this too many or about right? Thanks in advance. I’m trying to google the wineries now

We stay near Frankton Marina, where is the best pickup location? Do we have to travel with the bus to Queenstown and wait for the same bus to start a new loop? It shows on your route map that Peregrine is included (stop 8), can you confirm?

Hi, the best stop is at the Marina Heights Bus Stop. We can pick you up from there and there we pick up the rest of the people from town and start the run.
We are not doing Peregrine anymore but we have Stoneridge on our run :)

Where does Stonebridge fit into the itinerary as it’s not on the map or schedule? I’d love to go but just planning as want to book Amisfield for lunch. Also I’m assuming I’d need to pre-BookIt Gibbston if I wanted to do a wine cave tour. Tx

Hi yes Stoneridge is after Gibbston Valley but you walk across from Amisfield and go back and catch the bus there. Yes you do have to pre book cave tour. Thanks HOHO
Can we take our child with us on the bus and sit on our lap?
