We booked a private tour for 10 from our ship with Lynn. It was very well organized and we went to a variety of wineries, many more than we would have gone to with a shore excursion. We stopped for lunch at a beautiful winery. The chocolate was delicious, but it was more of a shop and less of a factory.
Excellent, Very professional service and drivers. Highly recommended to all.
Thanks for helping me complete a successful and safe trip.
Ryan the skipper being from a long time local family provided us with a comprehensive and both very interesting and extremely well delivered commentary. He was also extremely co-operative and prepared to go that extra yard to make sure we all enjoyed the tour.
We visited the mussel farms and salmon farms which were extremely interesting.
Ryan then produced a lunch which was superb to say the least. Fresh mussels cooked in nothing but their own juices and salmon literally just harvested. Yummy! People who either had not tried mussels or who said they did not like them were instant converts.
The food was out of this world, plentiful and of course washed down with some excellent New Zealand wine.
The scenery was tops and Ryan managed to find just about every variety of animals, birds and fish that existed, all in their natural habitat.
Picton itself is so so pretty and an absolute must to visit. We all cannot wait to return with first call Ryan and the Marlborough Tour Company and the many fabulous Restaurants and food providers such as pubs and cafes. The people are so friendly and the area itself is safe for all.
My daughter and I went on an amazing tour of wineries in the Marlborough region with an excellent lunch and a chocolate factory for a special treat! After being picked up at Picton by our brilliant guide Carol, we had a fun filled tour with the most amazing and informative guide we could have hoped for.
Carol made us feel completely at home in NZ and we learnt a great deal about the excellent quality of wine produced in the region and even a case of asstd wine to be sent back to Australia.
A wonderful day out which made me kind of glad my husband had been too sick to go and it became a great mum and daughter experience... I would definitely take the tour again on our next trip to NZ!
Our group of ex marathon runners and their partners spent a few days in Picton on a yearly reunion. We relied on Marlborough Tours to take us to the several different locations we had planned to visit including Peter Jackson's airplane museum (excellent) and some wonderful wineries and restaurants. Lynn was a wonderful and safe driver and extremely knowledgeable about the entire region. Her friendly nature and thoughtful attitude to everyone certainly enhanced a fabulous stay in Picton.
Our group of three couples spent several days in Marlborough in April. Lynn provided prompt and reliable shuttle service to and from the train station and the ferry. However, the best part was the full day of winery touring with Lynn. She suggested some perfect, smaller wineries for us. Her knowledge of the wineries and restaurants helped us to maximize our time. Lynn's fun and easy going manner just added to the experience!
