Private or Shared Tour?

This tour started as a shared tour for couples but some people asked if they could have a private group. The shared tour is a cost effective package for 2 or 3 and has better availability, a private tour is better suited to groups of 4 or more and can be customised to suit your preferences. - PN. If you are arriving on a cruise you should book a private tour and add a Lyttelton pick up.

GILES TOURS REVIEWS

“Birthday wine tour"
"Booking with Giles was a simple experience and he was adaptable in terms of pick ups and drop offs which was fantastic. Giles has an extensive knowledge of the wines of the region and wine in general which he was enthusiastic (but not pushy) about sharing. He was more than happy to jump in with tasting notes, helpful tips and personal favorites. We visited Pegasus Bay, Greystone, Torlesse and Terrace Edge wineries. Each place had a lot to offer and there were plenty of tastings! This tour truly exceeded all expectations and would have to be the best wine tour in terms of both value and experience that I've ever taken. Thank you Giles, I wouldn't hesitate to book this tour again, what an amazing experience!”
