EXCELLENT Based on 101 reviews Posted on Alison HudgellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As an extended family group of 8 we had a fabulous time in this trip. Our skipper Mark was a great guy and we enjoyed the fact that he is a local. It was so good to have him bait our hooks and take the multiple fish we all caught off our lines, he was very much on the ball and attentive to us all. Would highly recommend to everyone!Posted on Reel TherapyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I felt very privileged to work alongside Sounds Connection on the weekend, when we hosted a group of 14 guests between our 2 Boats, Mark made the whole process smooth & seamless, & although we had rather lumpy conditions, everyone onboard felt safe & thoroughly enjoyed their time out on the water with us, my absolute pleasure working with Sounds Connection & highly recommend their servicePosted on Millie RodgersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We had a fantastic afternoon with Marcella as our guide! She was so friendly, positive, welcoming and bought such a good vibe to the tour :)) the wines were all pretty good and would definitely recommend booking with sounds connections in this beautiful part of the country. Cheers 🥂Posted on Louisa BayleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This half-day wine tour was excellent. We sampled approximately 15 wines at a leisurely pace across three wineries. The driver was very knowledgeable and personable. We went to mid-size family run wineries and felt that the information and explanations of each wine and the winery was very well conveyed. The stop at the chocolate makers at the end was a nice addition. We highly recommend this tour.Posted on Joe CollindridgeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A review of this tour wouldn’t be complete without a special mention to our tour guide Andrew. From the moment we met, he made us feel incredibly welcome and part of the group, making special effort to get to know everyone and bring the group together. His knowledge of the local area was fantastic and his story telling skills second to none. The company is lucky to have him and we wish him all the best in the future. He’s incredibly welcoming and an instantly likeable. Thank you Andrew! The tour was great, introducing us to local vineyards and trying some of the best wines in the Marlborough region. We had an amazing time and couldn’t fault anything about it. Please book on and I hope your experience is as special as ours was.Posted on Sarah KellyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
