5.00Amazing trip with a friendly guide from England , my only upset was it was a bit rushed and no time to full relax - it could do with being a hot or so longer to really enjoy

5.00We had an absolute splendid time on this wine tour. Our guide Nooruah was so personable, engaging each participant by name like a very good family friend. He took us to some beautiful vineyards and also showed us around the island. He was very knowledgeable about the island, was a great driver and shepherded us with grace and care. The wineries we visited were outstanding and the tastings were lead well. I would highly recommend this tour with no hesitation. Thank you for a wonderful day Noorauh! James and Harriet BC Canada

5.00Our tour bus driver, Caleb, picked us up promptly for our wine tour. It is such a beautiful island here on Waiheke. All four wineries had spectacular views and very knowledgeable sommeliers. We never felt rushed however the day went by very quickly.
