5.00Sherri was fantastic—very knowledgeable and friendly. Port pickup and return were seamless, with plenty of time to get back to the ship. The wineries were wonderful, and the small group made the experience feel personal and relaxed. Highly recommend!

5.00A great day of NZ wine tastings. We visited three wineries, received first class service, and enjoyed our small group of 8. Sherri was a superb guide. She took us to a couple of lookouts before heading off to the wineries, stopped by a chocolate factory, and she even included charcuterie boards at one stop. This excursion exceeded our expectations.
Great day out!

5.00We had a great tour with Sherri. It was just the 2 of us on the tour so we got to visit 5 wineries instead of 4 and Sherri took us to the chocolate shop at the end. She made the tour so personal to us and went out of her way to organise it for us as we booked last minute. We had an amazing day and couldn't have asked for a better tour. We would definitely recommend Sherri and Kiwi Tours, it was first class. If we are back in NZ again we wouldn't hesitate to book again. Thank you Sherri for such a fun day, we absolutely loved it! Thank you as well for returning my sunglasses to me after I left them in the van!! I really appreciate it.
Excellent Tour

5.00Spent a wonderful afternoon touring and tasting the vineyards of Marlborough. Our guide Sherri was fantastic, very accommodating to our schedule and booked wineries whose wines we don’t get to try in the US as we requested. Couldn’t have had a better time. Got us back to our ship worry free. Absolutely amazing and recommend 100%.
