    Stunning Marlborough sounds, lovely relaxing cruse to take it all in. To top it off some of the nicest salmon I have had cooked in NZ and definitely the best green lip muscles. Fantastic and helpful crew.

    The weather was spectacular which is always a bonus. We thoroughly enjoyed out jaunt around the sounds stopping at several little bays to pick up and drop off people and supplies. The Skipper's commentary was great, so much information and history.

    Amazing!!! We saw so many dolphins of 2 species (Hector’s & bottlenose), seals, and rare land & sea birds. I did the full day tour which afforded several hours around the Queen Charlotte track hiking, swimming and seeing a water fall. It was a wonderful day and the guides were so cheery and enthusiastic.

    Fantastic day which included visiting 2 vineyards for tasting. An open platter lunch followed by a cruise around Marlborough Sound. Great commentary from our ship captain John. Our guide for the day Andrew provided lots of interesting information. We enjoyed sampling green shell mussels and barbecued salmon and a glass of refreshing wine whilst on board. Highly recommended.

    A spectacular day with Cam, a great way to spend the day and see the beautiful Marlborough region if you have limited time in the area. Cam was not only a friendly, funny and incredibly knowledgeable host, he was also incredibly accommodating of us having a non-drinker in our group and arranging pick up from our cruise ship port. Very good sized group to tour around with and get to know and a great variety of wineries visited

    Darlene is the BEST. She explained winemaking in a way that was easy to understand and that honored the art of making wine. I learned so much during this tour and tasted some of the best wines I've ever had. My friends and I had such a good time despite the day being rainy and chilly. This was a fantastic tour!

    It wasn't the best of weather but you can't always plan for that. This tour is great value for money and we had the island to ourselves, maybe because it was overcast and windy. The walk to the top was a good workout for my unfit better half and my unfit self. the views are great but there aren't many stops along the way to sit and try to sight birds. The best sightings we got were at the beginning of the the trail. The boat arrived back on time and we took the option of a free add on to lunch at Furneaux Lodge. This time the boat was quite late in due to weather but we still arrived back in Picton at a decent hour. A tour offering great value for money.

    Thank you so much Marlborough Wine Tours. This is the second tour through this company and it was fantastic once again. We did a 6 person private wine tour. Jess was lovely to deal with and very accommodating to our requests. Our guide was Lyn who was just wonderful. She ensured our day was smooth and went above and beyond to make our day special. Thank you once again, I highly recommend this tour to anyone.

    In all honesty, we cannot be certain of the name of the tour...no...it wasn't the effects of too much wine... we simply did not realise they offered so many tours.

    What we wanted was a local tour operator from Picton, where we were on a cruise ship, to take us around a range of Marlborough vineyards and to see the wonderful scenery...but not in a big group coach....and to be back in time to rejoin our ship..... We got precisely what we asked for.

    We visited St Clair, Cloudy Bay and Forrest cellar doors and our price included a good tasting at each location. We also visited VInes Village cafe and road-stop complex ,for a non-included lunch stop, the Makana chocolate factory and still had time for a scenic tour....and got back nicely in time for the shuttle back to the ship

    All this, coupled with an informative clear speaking local driver who was considerate to each passenger, (despite some language issues wit hour fellow guests - overall a really good trip and one we will repeat when next in Picton. Hope this helps.

    First I have to apologize as this is wildly overdue. Initially I reached out to Pamela via email and we were able to organize a one-day private tour for my wife and I, accompanied by our 12 year old daughter who's effectively a teenager. Trying to combine a scenic and wine tasting experience while also creating some fun for our city daughter and giving her some feel for a more rural existence.

    Well- the American phrase to best describe it, is, Pamela "knocked it out of the park". Wine tasting, beautiful vistas, farm visits for our daughter (and a special surprise even I did not know about!) And Pamela bent over backwards to organize our transfers from the airport in the AM and to Linkwater in the evening. On top of all that, it was terrifically pleasant just to spend the day with Pamela and her local knowledge.

    Phenomenal. Tremendous memories, absolutely the best money we spent in New Zealand, can't recommend Pamela March & Your Local Chauffeur highly enough. Belatedly, thank you again Pamela! We truly hope to be back.
