    Pamela and Rob were fantastic. Pick up at the ship was exactly as planned. Only four of us on the very comfortable mini bus. Good wine, great lunch included and sunshine, what more could you ask for. Pamela was very careful to make sure we were back at the dock in plenty of time for our departure. A fantastic shore excursion from Picton of the Marlborough region.

    Pamela was a fantastic guide and all the wines were superb. We had a great time. Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    Pam was a marvellous host and made our tour one of the highlights of our trip. She went out of her way to make our day special and was very flexible in the itinerary so we could see the things we wanted to. We couldn't have asked for a better guide.

    This tour was OK, but we expected better. We visited just a couple of wineries and a kiwi plantation. That was the good part. The rest was some shopping which my wife and I could certainly do without. I suspect the store owners welcome the business from the operator (Pamela). The lunch was in an expensive place with average quality food. The van was full to capacity, so we were sitting rather tight. The trip narrative was fine when we could hear it from the back seat.

    We picked up this tour at the visitor's center at the dock in Picton. Best decision we made on this visit. Pamela was very informative and gave us a great day in the Marlborough area. The wineries were great. The lunch stop had great food and wine. The candy stop was fabulous.

    My husband and I were visiting for our first anniversary from Chicago (with friends from Texas) and booked this tour a month or so before our trip. We confirmed two days before and the owner (and guide), Pamela, sounded delightful on the phone. She asked a bit about what we wanted to see and eat and we were excited and delighted just after talking to her. She was punctual with our pickup and took us to 5 wineries, a chocolate factory and a gift shop (our request), a cheese shop, a beer garden, lunch at a lovely winery, cheese at another winery, and even dinner at the end of the day. We loved Pamela so much that we asked her to dine with us at dinner too and she didn’t make us feel rushed even though we were out for 9 hours! Pamela also told us personal stories about growing up in the area and also wanted to get to know us. All was done with a nice personal touch. A day we will never forget. Safety was also a big concern for Pamela and she made sure to log every stop per regulations, made sure we drank water, and checked for seat belts after ever time we got in the car. I’ve never had a bette tour. Highly recommended —- and I’ve been to over 60 countries. Pamela also sent us off with a little gift of chocolate and a hug. She felt like a new friend!

    Bereits im Vorfeld des geplanten Reisetermins fragte die Inhaberin von Your-Local-Chauffeur Pamela March nach den Wünschen der Teilnehmer für eine optimale Vorbereitung der Tour. Wir wurden pünktlich am Hotel mit einem sehr komfortablen Minibus abgeholt. Die Fahrt gestaltete Pamela sehr unterhaltsam mit vielen Erklärungen über Land und Leute. Wir besuchten eine breite Auswahl von insgesamt fünf Weinkellern mit zahlreichen Verkostungen. Zum Lunch hatte Pamela eine große Auswahl an Alternativen vorbereitet. Sogar als es zum Ende etwas später wurde, sorgte Pamela mit einem Telefonat dafür, dass der letzte Weinkeller seine Öffnungszeit für uns verlängerte. Und das alles zu einem sehr fairen Preis, der die Konkurrenz, von der man sich teilweise übel abgezockt fühlt, wirklich alt aussehen lässt.
