Testimonials

Explore Marlborough Bike Tour was a unique experience riding through the wineries of the top of the South and one I would personally advise not to be missed. It was a beautiful day of top-class wine, delicious food, spectacular views and entertainment from our local tour guide. Explore Marlborough must be congratulated on their high grade hospitality.

Lyn and I have just returned to work after our holiday to New Zealand.
We came on the Bicycle Winery Tour with you on 29 August 2010 and I have to say it was an absolutely fun day.

We have been on winery tours before where you get driven, in a car, from cellar door to cellar door but this tour was far superior to a car drive. What we found fun / interesting / different was that on bicycles we got to actually ride through the vineyard vines. Wow, how different.

Whilst we can ride bikes, we had not ridden mountain bikes before but we found them easy and comfortable. The tour was relaxing and the ride really was easy.

The vineyards you selected were unique and therefore we weren't tasting the same wines over and over again. And lunch was absolutely superb.

All in all a truly great day. Thanks again for one of the highlights of our holiday.

When we return to New Zealand, and we will return, we will definitely be doing another tour with you. Maybe the food tour as we both love coffee, cheese and chocolate.

Again thanks for a great day
All the best

“After raving about my home country for years I finally took some cycling friends across the ditch, to show off. We all drink wines from the Marlborough region and so I was excited to find a local Blenheim company that offered a biking wine tour. With expectations high and a great sense of pride in this beautiful area I booked the ‘Bike the Vines’ full day tour. I had a lot at stake after raving about ’home’ adnauseum and I was not let down. Explore Marlborough are a professional, friendly company that goes out of its way to deliver exactly what they advertise. We had a brilliant morning wine tasting and cycling and when the weather turned against us plan B was put seamlessly into place without any inconvenience. Our personal guide was wonderful, knowledgeable and organised.

A definite highlight of our trip. Thanks guys.”

What a wonderful, unique tour!

We had no idea of what our day would be like. We were just told a "Marlborough Tour". Visiting producers of honey, to a herb farmer then a fig grower and finishing with a wonderful winery was a fantastic day. Thank you so much Karen for our wonderful first day in the South Island.
