Jade Tours choose a nice selection of vineyards to visit. The clarity and volume of the van narration could have been a bit better, since there was quite a bit of road noise while sitting towards the back of the van. Group size was perfect. We enjoyed the tour and the wines!

Our guide was FABULOUS! Chris made the tour fun, interesting, and SO ENJOYABLE! We even had a ride on the cable car! It was a wonderful way to know a lot about New Zealand’s beautiful capital, Wellington! Again, Chris made the tour and our enjoyment his priority!

We arrived on a cruise ship (princess) and the driver was soooo easy to find he was next to all the other cruise ship buses. A very informative driver and the bonus was we walked straight into the tram car and no waiting

Our guide was knowledgable, experienced and made sure we saw as much as possible in 3 hours. Then he took us back to our ship instead of dropping us off at the shuttle in town. He is a safe & fearless driver. One lady in our group wasn't able to get in/out of the van easily and Jeff always helped her with a step stool & a hand.

Our host (and business owner) Dave has immense passion about his city and NZ....His energy level was off the map....and his humor was infectious...and frequent. He proved the point that a great tour begins with the host. I hope he trains his staff to mirror his style. The tour itself took us to a wonderful combo of stunning views, local interest locations, historical sites. What a wonderful way to spend 3 hours....and come away full of knowledge, plenty of vistas lodged in your mind, funny moments to remember. 5 BIG stars
