What people are saying about Otago

Our full day tour was amazing with Tania as our tour guide. We had never been to any of the wineries we visited on the day of the tour, and they were all incredible, especially Kinross, as our son proposed to his girlfriend whilst we were there! Incredible day for the couple and the 6 of us family touring together. Would definitely recommend Altitude tours, everything went seem less, Tania was full of local knowledge and chose the most wonderful destination for lunch at Bannockburn hotel. Would highly recommend. Many Thanks, The Fredericks Family

Very easy to locate, fantastic staff who even helped me rebook my time slot as I wasn't able to make it on time. The experience was intense, felt guienely scared and anxious but it was great to not chicken out. Definitely a must do for any horror fan

What a brilliant attraction. $90 for 2 kids and 2 adults for 90 minutes of fun - such good value compared to day Queenstown. Recommend taking water and hats into the maze of it’s sunny though

So much fun!! Would definitely recommend and be doing it again

Really good family fun. A good half day out in Wanaka
