3.00The staff telling us about the different wines were minimally informative and showed very little enthusiasm . The wines were pre poured and sitting out on a warm day. The white wines were served room temp
Not good communication between Viator and local company

4.00Experience was great once we found the tour. Viator’s instructions on where and how to meet are incorrect. Waiheke Wine Tours sent a detailed email on where to meet them with instructions on which ferry to take. We never received this although we received emails from other local vendors prior to and during our time in Auckland. Would suggest that Viator change their details on how and where to meet on this excursion. Also, Waiheke Wine Tours needs to do a better job making sure they have correct email addresses and checking receipt of emails.

5.00Noorora was a fantastic guide, driver and steward of our special lunch tour, with personalized comments for each tour member by name, humor, songs, and deep knowledge. Lovely trip, delicious sips at Postage stamp with Will, fab lunch at 372, great pacing fortune to dip our toes in the Pacifica and lovely tour mates. Ask for a Loveboat theme song singalong!
Perfect way to spend a day!

5.00Such a lovely wine tour experience on Waiheke Island with my dad and sister. Caleb, our driver, was fantastic — friendly, knowledgeable, and made the day feel effortless. We visited three beautiful wineries with a diverse range of wines to try, all set against stunning island scenery. A perfect way to see a lot of Waiheke, enjoy great wines, and not worry about logistics. There were about 15 of us from all over the world on the tour, which was the perfect size. Would highly recommend!
Fun day!!

5.00An incredible day from start to finish. The tour started meeting our guide Paora exactly as we walked off the ferry as instructed. Paoro was a wonderful guide for this trip. He provided us with lots of information about the area and how our itinerary. There were 6 of us on the tour and we all became fast friends. Paora made a point of speaking with all of us individually and he set the tone for relaxing day. We started at the restaurant and where we had a delicious meal with spectacular views of the Onetanghi beach. Which my husband and I went back to the next day. Every vineyard was beautiful and the wines were very good. We relaxed on bean bag chairs while sipping our wines and enjoying the magnificent views. Just a perfect day all around.
