Beautiful, fun, and safe experience for a party of girls - This tour was an awesome experience for me and my family (sister and cousin) to taste NZ! The sheep farm and views were incredible, the included lunch was filling and organic, the winery stop was adorable and the wine was delicious! Simon was so kind and very informative on the tour. My entire party agreed this was the highlight of our trip!

Stunning views, cute lambs, great guides - Simon was a pure pleasure as our guide. You could ask him any question about Christ Church or New Zealand and he had good answers. The organic lunch was fabulous, very tasty and attractive. The owner of the sheep farm, James, gave a lovely explanation of their operation, which sheep they breed and he even gave us a demonstration on how to shear one of his pet uwes. To top it all, we were allowed to hold one of the young lambs and we watched his two dogs guide and heard the sheep out to a pasture.

This was one of the best... - This was one of the best tours I have done in New Zealand. You see some unique sites and a real working farm. Along with the winery stop and narration, it was a perfect day. Holding a baby lamb was a highlight!

No brainer day trip - Definitely recommend. Simon, tour guide, was quite knowledgeable and personable. Each stop will put a smile on your face from Donnie the horse to the quality wine tasting. The sheep farm of course is the highlight. Enjoy.
