Fantastic! We wanted 3 days of private tours of both wineries and scenery. After some email correspondence, we zoomed from the US East Coast with Sarah and her twin sister to finalize our desires. Sarah went above and beyond. The tours were just what we wanted. We really saw Marlborough and its environs. Sarah expedited a tour of Queen Charlotte Sound on a delivery boat with a lunch at Furneaux. We had a great driver, Sam. He was personable, knowledgable, and went out of his way to ensure we had a perfect experience. I can't think of a better way to experience Marlborugh!
