Well organised and fun
Fun activity. Compared to booking and calling taxis this is less hassle and probably worth buying if the group is small. If there is a group of 4 people and more taxis might end up being cheaper though.

A Great Way to Explore Blenheim
I had a great day out in the region on this bus. Driver was super nice and kind. Great chats and he dropped me off at my accommodation, saving me a walk in the cold. A really good option for travellers who don't drive too!
