5.00A truly wonderful experience! We did the Sommeliers Wine Tour and our guide, Paul, was fantastic. Not only was our itinerary customized to go to wineries that specialized in our favorite varietals, but had a very nice lunch as well. Also, Paul incorporated a few additional stops to show us the amazing views from the island. We had a great day and highly recommend this tour with Paul.
Amazing Day on Waiheke!

5.00Started off a little rough, I was concerned. We ended up having the BEST day with Claire! Just an awesome experience. Always, appreciate a vendor that recognizes their error and makes it right immediately without any objection from me. Service ended up being impeccable. Highly recommend this experience. Thanks for a great experience!
Beautiful wine with an exceptional tour guide!

5.00Absolutely fantastic wine tour! Our tour guide John went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable and enjoyable experience. He was incredibly knowledgeable about everything Waiheke has to offer, and took us to some seriously amazing wineries. Lunch was fabulous, and everything was well-paced throughout our tour. Thank-you to John (and Clare who managed our booking) for a truly wonderful trip!
