Hi Amanda,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your afternoon exploring the wineries and that Sam helped make your experience a great one.

Thanks, from The Hop On Hop Off Team

Nice afternoon out at some beautiful places. Did the half day tour and squeezed in 4 stops. The bus was very efficient and came every 50 minutes so it felt a bit rushed but waiting for the one after felt a bit too long. Could do with having a full hour at each place so you could relax a little bit and maybe have a glass of your fav wine after the tasting session. 
But otherwise lovely. Thanks to Sam our driver.

Hi Lotta,

Thank you for your great review!

We're so pleased you had a fun day exploring the wineries with us and that our driver helped make your experience an enjoyable one.

You also shared some excellent advice for future guests. Having a flexible plan and doing a little research beforehand can really help make the most of the day, while still leaving room for those spontaneous stops along the way.

Thank you again for choosing Hop On Hop Off Wine Tours Queenstown. We truly appreciate your recommendation.

We thought we'd decide, which vinyards to go to, once we were on the bus... Do your research before time and make a flexible plan. It was a fun day with a great driver/guide.

Fun day, nice wineries. If you like wine, this is for you  😀

Once you get on you stay...

Hi Chris, thank you your reiew! 
We are pleased to hear that you had a great day out with us. We look forward to seeing you on board again in the future.
Warm regards,

First, let me start by saying, our driver Keri made the tour one of the best we have taken.  She was personable, helpful and when an issue went sideways at our first stop, she handled it with grace & humour.  Her recommendations on what to do and see were spot on.
This the second hop on hop off wine experience and it did not disappoint! Do it, you will not regret it.  

Delightful!

Hi Elloise,
Thank you for your email.
We are pleased to hear that you had a great day out with us and our team :)
Warm regards, The HOHO Team

great tour, drivers went out of their way to help us! good way to see different parts of queenstown and good wineries 

great tour

We did the half day tour & would recommend! 
Loved: 
- Both drivers (Kerry & George)
- Mt Rosa (1 - small great vibe), Nockies Palette (2 - beautiful views & scenery), the Winery in Arrowtown (3 - so fun to dispense the wine ourselves and I think a really fun way to start), Gibson Valley (4 - could take or leave but I think it’d be better if we did a formal tour with them) 
- we fit in 4 stops! Felt like we made good use of our time. Tour ended approx 5-5:15pm. 
- drivers offered to call and make bookings for tasting when we got on the bus 
- bus very comfy, not super windy or bumpy 

Of Note: 
- you get a timetable & map immediately upon getting on the bus. You need to be a bit flexible with the wineries you go to since you don’t have access to it beforehand. There must be some reason they don’t give it out but 🤷🏼‍♀️
- the stops are approximately 50mins so it’s fast!! You would definitely need to spend two spots for lunch in order to have enough time to get your food & eat it. Since we were the halfway, we ate beforehand and had plenty of time to get a cheeseboard, bread, fries, etc during one stop 

Overall really fun & would do again! 


We did the half day tour...

Hi Grace, 
Thank you for writing us a lovely review! We are pleased to hear that you had a great and relaxing day out with us!
Warm regards, HOHO Team

Had such a good day on this tour. The bus was easy to find, the driver was friendly and the whole vibe was relaxed. We got to hop on and off without any rush, and each winery had its own charm. Great views, great wine, great energy. Perfect way to spend an afternoon in Queenstown.

Wine time everytime

Great way to go winetasting from Queenstown. George was our driver and ne was absolutely incredible. Very knowledgeable and made sure everybody got to where they needed to be at the right time.  

Great way to go...

Hi Ashlea,

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great time on the Queenstown HOHO bus. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to your driver, they’ll be delighted.

Warm regards,
The Hop On Hop Off Team

We had an incredible experience with the Queenstown HOHO bus! We’ve done a few of these experiences in Aus and now NZ, what a blast. Such a great way to see so many wineries covering the region in Otago (without the worry of having to drive or rely on lifts!).
Our driver was amazing, friendly & very great at communicating the schedule. We even got a personalised service drop off in Arrowtown (where we were staying) given it was a quieter day. thank you so much to the Hoho team! We will be recommending to all travelling to Queenstown!

A wine lovers dream!

Hi Thomas, thank you for taking the time to write us a review! We are pleased to hear that you had a great day out with us :)

It's a really fun wine tour! You can pick from 23 different stops and you can go to a maximum of 6 of them if you hop back on the bus every time it comes back. The only restriction is you can't go backwards on the list, but there are two stops that repeat. Most places have snacks and a few of the stops are taverns with full menus.

My top 3 spots were:
Mt Rosa: Had the best wine in several styles. The staff was really friendly and fun to chat with while walking through all of their wines.

Nockies Palette: Easily the best scenery of the wineries. It's run by a painter and the whole place is laid out in a storybook/fairy tale style. Their wines are good too with the standout being an amazing Chardonnay.

The Winery Arrowtown: Not actually a winery, it's a big tasting room with a bunch of automated wine dispensers so you can try a lot of things in small samples or get full glasses of the ones you like. You could almost do a wine tour with just this place.

Very Fun!

You definitely should get the full day tour.  Some wineries are a good way out of town.  The driver, George, was outstanding, on time and entertaining.

Great day trip option for Queenstown
