Great tour experience, less-than-perfect admin

4.00Firstly, our driver and tour guide Rob was excellent, the perfect host - friendly, informative and fun. We really enjoyed the tastings and all the hosts and presenters at the wineries were brilliant. Lunch was okay; wonderful venue and location but food a little disappointing. We met some great people on the tour who came from different corners of the world. Only one thing let this trip down: the admin behind it. We were sent ferry information which was mostly wrong and out-of-date, even the website link to the recommended ferry company was wrong. The mistakes were neither acknowledged nor apologised for by the company; the only response we received was a terse confirmation of which was the correct ferry to catch. Not the greatest customer service! Others on the tour said that the ferry confusions had also caused them problems. Just to add one final irony, even the link that the company sent to request a review from us appeared to be infected with a virus that led to a site called 'ripadvisor' that our antivirus marked as dangerous. On balance, yes we would recommend the tour, but be sure to double-check any background information you're given.

5.00Awesome day, we wanted to do this island wine tour and we nailed it! Rob was amazing and he’s lived on the island for so long his knowledge was first class. So many beautiful wineries to choose from but Rob picked a great list and we loved every one of them. We scored with a beautiful Waiheke summer day which made it even more memorable but I’d do it again even if it was pouring rain.
I would definitely recommend

5.00Our host/guide Karen was exceptional. She was kind and personable and kept us on track and on pace for our trip. Her enthusiasm and humor were greatly appreciated. The tour itself was interesting enough and fun, I had some good wines and some...not so good wines haha but that's the nature of a tasting. The meal we had for lunch was delicious and I thought the length of time was just about right overall. My only complaint was that the lunch was first and then all the tastings. I would have loved to have a tasting or 2 then a meal and then a tasting or two after rather than the lunch first. But otherwise, a very good experience overall.
Wonderful day on Waiheke

5.00Awesome day. Waiheke is absolutely stunning and a must see if in auckland. It’s an easy ferry ride from Auckland, where a tour guide meets you and then shuttles you around to lunch and wineries and a small private bus. The wineries and tastings were all great and the guide was fantastic and local so was able to share awesome insights and of course friendly! It was such a great day that i ended up deciding to stay on the island at the last winery for dinner after the official tour ended. Definitely recommend, was a great experience as advertised.
It's wine o'clock!

5.00Nooroa is very funny. He is knowledgeable and when asked him questions, he can present his answers to us in an interesting way that make us remember and laugh. He remembers all 8 of our names and where are we from throughout the tour from 11.20am to 5.30pm, amazing!
Great wine tasting
