“I loved the flexibility this offered. I did not feel pressured to be at ferry for 9 am. BTW I did not have to show my voucher ( as website said) to Fuller’s to exchange for ticket. I just showed the QR code on my phone and boarded.Best winery in my opinion was Batch on stop 12. The hop on hop off bus gives you a green wrist band which is how they monitor access to bus. No need to show voucher after arriving on Island and receiving the wristband.”

“Bus stops at the major landmarks enters some destinations, including the harbor and waterfront areas”

“The Hop-On Hop-Off Explorer Bus Was excellent with the price we paid. We were able to see so many nice places in Auckland- Museum, Mt. Eden, very nice & the hiking, Trinity Cathedral, you can also visit Zoo, MOTAT & other places. Both Red & Blue bus.”

“Great little way to get around town, great food at the Riverside Market and some good shops about as well”

“There needs to be a warning that there are 2 steep steps to board the tram and anyone with mobility issues may not be able to readily get on or off. (This may already be in the advertising, I’m not sure.) The commentary was excellent.”

“This was a fantastic tour! Without it, I think I would have missed a lot while in South Island. George our driver was great company, the beauty of this region is beyond explanation. I stopped in Arrowtown, The Church and Airfield, I wanted to stop in Frankton thinking it was a different town but it was just Queenstown again. So I passed. It was the most unforgettable birthday ever. A lovely farmer allowed me to see his sheeps and cows in one of the stops. My conversation and the animals were an experience I won't forget.”

“This allowed you to customize your time on the island in the places where the shops, beaches and vineyards are. If you want to get in specific places make sure they are open ahead of time. If you are just a go with the flow type, hop off, cheRead more”

“The driver was knowledgeable and advised on timing and wineries to suit our needs.”

“Even though we had an advance booking made for 11am the bus was filled with passengers for later bookings and we were told to wait and a bus would come soon. After another 15 minutes I went in and asked if the bus would arrive soon only to be spoken at very loudly and abruptly by the owner why didn’t we hop on the previous bus there were 15 free seats (which was not the case). When I tried to explain that we were told there was not and we were told to wait by the employee the owner then went out and was very rude to him. She then…”

“Hop on this one right away!! Fabulous views of the countryside. For a non-wine person, I was pleased there were lots of other appealing stops. The Blue Penguin is a very cute shop and prices better than other places for same merch. Grab a Read more”

“A must do experience & book for lunch at one of the wineries. we met lovely people and our driver was brilliant. will definitely do this again if Im back in Picton.”

“Poor. Extremely disorganised. Lack of communication. We were told at the last stop to "Get off and wait for the next bus in 20 minutes". No explanation given. When the next bus came they were disorganised.”
