5.00The ferry is not included in the tour cost, and I missed my ferry to the island. However, I called the tour company, and they made a special trip to pick me up so I could join my tour group. I didn't miss much and still tried all of the wines. It was a dreary, rainy day, so there was no roaming around outside, but Rob did an excellent job keeping everyone engaged. The only suggestion I have is not for the tour but for the Postage Stamp Winery. Don't take off with the bottle. Leave it on the table. It serves as a visual reminder of the wine and can help with purchases later.
Fun on Waiheke Island

1.00This is a second review on this trip as the communication with the owner has been full of misinformation and lies in her response. . I have been on Viator tours around the world and have never given less than a 5.
