Sherri was a great guide and very knowledgeable about Picton and surrounding areas. She shared with us beautiful coastal areas, caves, a delicious chocolate factory Makana and Jackson winery where we had a great tasting. We when had lunch at a lovely cafe which had a lovely pond in the back and a short walk to amazing views of the Blenheim vineyards . We ended our trip with a ride through havelock to a lovely rose garden with a flowing stream . I would definitely recommend kiwi holiday tour with Sherri. She’s great and goes above and beyond.

Sherri provided an excellent tour of the Picton and Blenheim area. The Makana Chocolate factory and Wither Hills winery were interesting and very enjoyable. Lunch at the Vines Village with Sherri was nice and relaxing, and the stop at Rarangi Beach made for some great photos. Take this tour - you'll love it.

Sherri was very informative and prompt. She met us right where the cruise shuttle dropped us off. She took us to some great locations in Picton and Blenheim. Would highly recommend.

This is one of the best ever tour companies we’ve used. Sheri is knowledgeable, friendly and so helpful. It was value for money, comfortable and a wonderful sample taste of a place we’d never been before. It’s wet our appetite to come back and explore more. Just fabulous 👌
