What our guests are saying

The experience was great. Bruce (our guide) is very passionate about wine and has extensive knowledge about the region in general (history, winegrowing techniques, terroir, climate etc.) and about the producers in particular.

Jade Tour ♥️ I had an amazing experience with Bruce! From start to finish, they made our tour unforgettable. Bruce was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories and history about each place we visited.

We enjoyed our tour with Bruce a lot. The atmosphere was very relaxed and we could ask any questions. Would recommend to do the full day tour!

Great tour. The pace was good, did not feel rushed and did not spend too much time at each place. Tour guide was very knowledgeable about wine. I would definitely recommend the tour. Be sure to buy chocolate at the last stop.

Bruce made the experience very special selecting 5 wineries, including one where we had a beautiful lunch. The Marlborough region is lovely and the wine tour with Jade was so enjoyable!

We all had a good day out with you. All the best and good luck with the future cruises.

Thank you for the pics. We had a terrific day with you and the group. You were extremely flexible and that is always much appreciated. Many thanks once again for making it such a special day

Jade Tours made our trip to Marlborough memorable. Both our hosts gave us a very interesting commentary as we journeyed to the vineyards. After tasting each makers product we finished at a chocolate factory before journeying back to Picton. The willingness of our hosts to satisfy us made the very reasonable cost a real bargain.

Fantastic tour ! Had a lovely day – thanks so much

Really enjoyed the day and learnt a lot as well. Thank you, it was great.

Thank you for the fantastic tour for myself and our family. We had great fun, we loved the wine and your explanations were so clear. We will certainly recommend Jade Tours to our friends.

The Marlborough vineyards are wonderful – and so is Jade Tours. Thank you for making our tour so special. We had a “barrel of fun” and appreciated their knowledge of the wine process. The Xmas goodies were a great idea and we were made to feel so welcome wherever we went. Definitely a memorable day for all of us.

What a lovely way to see Marlborough on our shore excursion. Jade Tours were recommended by a fellow passenger and they really made our day. Fantastic choice of wineries, very knowledgable guides and lovely chocolates. Can’t wait to come back.

Fantastic day and a great deal of fun.

Fabulous tour. Totally awesome day !!! Thanks so much. Can’t wait for the pics !

We had a lovely personalised wine tour. They were knowledgeable, made sure that we had all we needed and we had a splendid day

I was very impressed with the Marlborough wines and with Jade Tours. As a wine maker from Germany, I think they have good knowledge wine. Thank you for a very good day

Good tour, very friendly, thank you.

Very informative and relaxed day. Made my birthday – Thank You

Lovely day. Really enjoyed it !

Thank you! This was a great way to see the Marlborough vineyards. We’re so glad we didn’t book the big tours on the ship. A boutique tour was so much better, more personal. Thank you – it was very enjoyable and informative and professional.

Very friendly and personal service. We enjoyed everything. You were listening to all our requests

Very nice and professional and also nice to see the area with big and small vineyards. Thank you !!

Thank you for a fantastic tour ! Just what we wanted after the Wine Festival.

Friendly, knowledgeable, well done. Exceeded expectations

Just returned to USA after touring Australia as well. Your tour was one of the highlights of our entire trip. Our compliments to you for such a wonderful wine tour and lunch. Just devine. We can’t wait to visit your wonderful country again.

Passar o dia experimentando ótimos vinhos e admirando maravilhosas vinhas e adegas… o que mais? Só um host super para completar! Foi um dia completo. Só um conselho: tome cuidado com o limite de garrafas que pode transportar. Adoramos!!
