Fantastic hop on/off experience!
Published on Feb, 2025
What a great day! The schedule is easy to understand, the drivers were polite and informative and I loved the stops I chose. Highly recommend for seeing a lot around the Queenstown area, and not having to drive. Arrowtown, Ayburn, Amisfield and Kinross were all lovely to visit, eat and drink wine.
Great tour
Published on Feb, 2025
Great tour. We had Pete as driver and was excellent and very knowledgeable. Gave us an opportunity to taste wine, eat cheese and have a good look around. Loved Arrowtown
The hop on hop off wine...
Published on Jan, 2025
The hop on hop off wine bus was the best way to experience New Zealand’s beautiful wine country, without the hassle of a potential DUI! We did a little bit of research beforehand and went to Amisfield (best wine), Gibbston Valley Winery and Brennans (beautiful orange wine!). The stop in Arrowtown for an explore was also a great way to ease into a day of wine drinking.
Hot tip: we saw a newly opened winery across from Brennans called Waitiri Creek and what a surprise it was! It wasn’t on the list, but had the best views of the whole day and brilliant staff. The Chardonnay and Pinot noir is the pick of the bunch. If you’re on the tour, don’t skip this one just because it’s not on the map.
Good George enhanced a great day and experience
Published on Jan, 2025
Had a brilliant day looked after and lead by George our driver. Good banter and informative information needed throughout the day to get the most value and memorable experience (keeping wine filled adults must be hard at times lol).
Bus driver was fantastic,...
