Birthday Celebration
We highly enjoyed the day out on the hop on hop off bus. Our driver was fantastic, very fun and professional. Each stop is less than five minutes from each other so it flows very well. 10/10 recommend.

Fun and great wines
A great way to explore some wineries. We liked the flexibility this tour offers as there are many choices for at which wineries to stop. The downside to it is the rigid schedule, which worked out fine for us, but I can imagine it might not work out if one needs to wait before a tasting can be started. It probably would be best to book ahead for tastings at the chosen wineries (we didn't do that).
From Afternoon Tour Hop on Hop off Wine Tours - Marlborough - Departs Blenheim
Thanks for the review Wendy and glad you liked the flexibility. That's one of the big points of difference Hop on Hop off has. We do run to a timetable and people are welcome to miss a bus and stay on at a vineyard to get more of a particular experience. We do recommend to book at a vineyard for a scheduled arrival time if there's one or more or all you particularly want to go to.
