More than a wine tour.... - We enjoyed this tour with another couple (very nice Aussie's) guided by Andrew. This trip was way more than expected. Andrew stopped at several Lord of The Rings filming sites including Helm's Deep (a quarry) and provided a LTR tour book to review. We made several scenic overlook stops. Andrew was able to add historical personal references from family history of ANZACs and had a notebook of copies of newspaper clippings relevant to the story. Then we visited three outstanding wineries and ate at Poppie's with a fine charcuterie board including pork belly and our favorite wine choice. We stopped to enjoy a coffee at a local coffee shop and then ventured into an award winning chocolatier that offered samples. The chocolate lemongrass was our favorite. Then on our way back Andrew offered to drive us into Wellington for a quick view of the city and then back to the cruise ship on time. This was a wonderful tour and highly recommended. Kudos to Andrew.

When They Say "Personalised" They Mean It! - We had an absolutely amazing day with Capital Personalised Tours! We chose this tour because our family loves wine, but also because, although we love the Lord of the Rings, my mother has some mobility challenges that can make set tours difficult. However, after our driver, Andrew, met us at the port and learned of our love of all things Tolkien, in addition to the wonderful wine tastings and lunch, he surprised us by taking us to some of the different movie set sights that mom could navigate. He stopped by the Helm's Deep quarry, the Isengard gardens, and we even walked through "Rivendell!" Lunch at Poppies was absolutely AMAZING and we had a wonderful time tasting and exploring the wines of New Zealand. (I'm now a fan of Chardonnay, which I never thought possible.) I just want to say that I can't thank Andrew and John enough for the wonderful experience they provided! We got to see and do things that simply wouldn't be possible with any other tour!

a fun way to spend a day…. just DO IT! - Great informative driver ( tour guide ) very knowledgeable. Took us to interesting places along the way to destination. Great wineries visited. Very friendly driver who clearly loves his job. Awesome day. Money well spent

A wonderful experience. - Despite the weather being miserable we both enjoyed the private tour. Our guide was very helpful and knowledgeable. The wineries we visited were great venues. Again staff was super friendly and the service was great.

Great fun - Liz was great! We loved every minute of our trip. Thanks for the great conversation and for a fun tour with great wineries.

Great day - Andrew was a wonderful tour guide and we had a great time. We visited four wineries with lunch. We would highly recommend this tour!

Charming Day in Martinborough! - This was the perfect final day in Wellington! Our guide, Andrew, did a wonderful job of navigating some very windy and rainy weather, as well as an unexpected (for us) national holiday...he gave us a lot of great information about Wellington and the Valley on our drive out, and we really enjoyed the winery selections (and were able to even add on a few wine stops of our own at the end!). A definite highlight for me was the lunch stop at Poppie's - we were able to do a wine tasting with Poppy herself, and then enjoyed a really well put together (and filling) charcuterie plate with a full glass (or two, in our case). Really wonderful day, and was so appreciative of Andrew's flexibility with our questions and winery additions! Highly recommend!

Wine tasting and Pounts of Interest Day Trip - We had the most wonderful day trip to the Martinborough region. Andrew, our guide, gave us a very personalized and informative day. Interesting, entertaining and a lot of fun - can't wait to go again!

Memorable day! - Our wonderful and accommodating tour guide Kelvin was there waiting for us by the cruise ship upon our arrival. We visited three fabulous wineries and had an amazing charcuterie lunch at Poppies! Also cause we had extra time in the morning we even had a forest walk at a national park. Highly recommend this memorable tour!!!

Amazing fun - Picked up & whisked away in our own private group - over the mountains which were snowed capped so had time to stop & enjoy the view x tasting at 2 amazing wineries then went to gray town for a spot of shopping - we were treated like royalty & were looked after well by our amazing host ! Loved it thankyou so much xx
