5.00Although this is listed as "solo", we are a married couple traveling together. This is a private tour which picked us up and dropped us at our hotel.We had a great tour. Bryce, our guide, was very knowledgeable about the area, stopping at places of interest on the way to Martinborough and sharing personal anecdotes from his life in the area. The wineries we visited were all top notch, and it was a pleasure spending the day with Bryce. Tom, who owns the tour company went out of his way to meet us as we were leaving town on the ferry, and thanked us with a nice gift. Highly recommended.
OH A MUST

5.00NEVER have I ever.. written a review part way through a tour but this is justified to ensure all would be wine loving travellers to Wellington book this tour. Tom greeted us warmly at our hotel which set the scene well for the day ahead. He takes photos so you don’t have to, he provides so much information and the day so far is just so memorable. How luck are we to have found this tour and more importantly our guide Tom
Lovely Wine Tour
