Pete was a great guide. He made it so easy by giving great commentary while taking us to the best spots. The cruise was an additional highlight!

Tania was the perfect guide for our Akaroa adventure! It is a very lovely area with breathtaking views. The highlight was a 2 hour boat ride where we saw Hector Dolphins, the smallest & rarest of all dolphins.

Tania did an outstanding tour for us today with interesting facts about the area, humorous anecdotes during the day, and competent and safe driving on the 'long and winding road' to Akaroa. She encouraged us to use our imaginations in the morning when fog and clouds obscured our otherwise wonderful views of the countryside and stopped to let us see the real beauty when, on our afternoon return to Christchurch, the fog had lifted and the beauty of the area was vibrant. In addition to the wonderful info and stories she gave during our ride to and from Akaroa, she was very friendly, encouraged the group to get to know each other, walked us to our restaurant, walked us to our boat, met us on our return from the boat excursion, suggested a very good ice cream parlor, and stopped at the Takahe Sign to see an overlook of Christchurch. Overall, Tania did a wonderful job of giving us a very enjoyable and worthwhile tour of Akaroa and the area between there and Christchurch. Thank you Tania!

The trip to Akaroa was delightful. Even though the day began as a foggy, overcast day, Tania, our guide was fabulous. She described the views we should be seeing and then, when the skies cleared later in the day, she stopped on our return to Christchurch so we could see and take photos of those places. She filled the ride with stories, history and facts about the area that were very informative. I was glad Tania was our guide for this trip.

We arrived at Akaroa where we had a most delicious lunch of Salmon and Blue Cod and after we boarded a catamaran that took us on the harbour where we saw Blue Penquins, fur seals and the smallest NZ dolphins. This whole trip was amazing and the most wonderful trip and our driver, Tania, was wonderful. We highly recommend this one!

Overall a great tour - got to try a really wide selection of wines, I’ve lost count of how many different wines there actually were! Tania was an excellent guide, lots of fun and gave us lots of information about the area. We originally booked on the tour without a lunch - which was then unavailable after we had booked, so not ideal but moved onto the tour with a lunch. Unfortunately, the lunch platter wasn’t really our thing so was disappointed that we had to pay more for something we didn’t actually want, just to be able to do the wine tour.

Tania, our guide and driver for the afternoon was very informative and knowledgeable. She made sure everyone on the tour introduced themselves and had a great time. Stephen, our trainee giude, was amazingly friendly as well.

Operator did not respect items and stops. They sent a note apologizing and publicly say language issue. As a consequence of my review they cancel my last taxi and left us in Christchurch.

Incredible! Minibus picked us up by our local guide Scotty, he was so knowledgeable, friendly and kind! The wineries were all beautiful with amazing views. Lunch was outstanding and the variety of wines was huge! Out of the 20+ wineries trips I've toured this is by far the best! 100% recommend to anyone

Amazing experience and awesome wineries!! Tania was an excellent tour guide with heaps of local knowledge and was awesome company along the trip.

Here’s a revised version of your review: "Our wine tour was exceptional from start to finish, with seamless planning and execution. We visited beautiful wineries, each offering a unique experience. The team was incredibly accommodating, and Tania, our guide, was outstanding. Her extensive knowledge and excellent interpersonal skills truly enhanced the tour. I highly recommend this experience and Tania as a guide!"

We had a fantastic day with Tania out your guide. She went above and beyond to make the day fun. Highly recommend the tour and 5 starts for the fabulous Tania

Great scenic full day trip to Akaroa. Includes stops on the way there and back. Convenient Hotel pick-up and drop-off. The very knowledgeable and entertaining Scotty was our Driver/Guide.

I was collected from the hotel. Our guide, Scot was warm, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Wonderful scenery to and from Akaroa. Akaroa itself is quaint and not very large, which makes it easy to walk around. Plenty to see, including its French heritage. Good lunch included. The harbour cruise is great with detailed commentary. We saw penguin, seals, and lots of hectors dolphins. A full day out.

Fabulous wine tour! The driver/guide provided information on the drive to the first winery, Waipara Springs, where we tasted several wines, then had a great lunch. The wine pourer explained the wine processes and answered questions. We also visited George's Road and Torlesse. I was able to discuss the wines we tasted with the owner at George's Road who then offered to let us taste his syrah. Two of us found this one to be the best and we each bought a bottle. Torlesse produces wine in a more French style. All in all, a great day out meeting other wine lovers, and tasting a variety of wines and styles. I would definitely recommend!
