5.00Decided to take a wine tour to Waiheke Island, chose NZ Wine Pro, and truly it was the best decision! John, the owner, was a charm!! He took us to the best wineries, drove us around in a very comfy van, took care of the ferry, and was always with a smile telling us very interesting thing trough the day. We were a group of 9 girls, and ended up going to 4 of the best and more beautiful wineries. Literally we didn’t have to worry about a thing! John made ir all super easy and beautiful. I super recommend this company. Really, a wonderful experience. Super trustworthy and great value for money.
Great day out
