"We enjoyed our visit to the 3 wineries and the lovely lunch at Soljens. Our tour guide, Tony was very knowledgeable and entertaining."

"John was great, excellent wine knowledge, good narratives, safe driver…winery docents were knowledgable and entertaining…countryside was beautiful…"

"Alex, our driver/tour guide was fantastic. Knowledgeable, articulate and kind. The view from Mt. Victoria was amazing, as was the lunch at Soljans Winery (try the Croatian dish if it is available — Yum!) John at Coopers Creek was especially nice, and the Coopers Creek Gold Dessert Wine was outstanding. Over all, the tour gave us the opportunity to experience the variety of wines of Kumeu. Thanks again. Ken & Dinah"

"Not only did we visit 4 wineries that were very different from each other, but had a wonderful lunch as well. The icing on the cake was going to the coast to see the gannet colony and the beach. A wonderful day!"

"If you’re a fan of middle earth, I highly recommend visiting, you learn a lot about the set and why it was chosen in that location, as well as moments from the film"

"Needed a reliable means to get from Auckland Airport to City Centre. Excellent service was provided. I was very satisfied and was able to start enjoying my holiday. With assistance of Super Shuttle NZ my objective was realised. Thanks"

"There was only the two of us on the tour so our guide tailored the tour for us. For instance, instead of the usual wine tasting we went to taste chocolates. The tour was lovely and we got to see different places from Auckland. At Sheepworld, seeing the dogs work and a sheep shorn were special highlights of the tour."

"David was an exceptional tour guide. Could not have asked for a better person. We came from Canada and were only expecting him to talk about wine. We also got an in depth history on Auckland. He went above and beyond. Highly recommended. You will not be disappointed!!"

"Brett is an awesome tour host. The Muriwai black sand beach was amazing. The winery and brewery stops were casual and entertaining."

"Nice scenery flying to the Waiheke island. Beautiful winery, great lunch, the ride to the ferry was wonderful."

"Had a great time with Warren and would recommend Waiheke island to everyone! Warren went above and beyond for us."

"Excellent tour! Thoroughly enjoyed the wine tasting, especially at Ransom Wines. Dave, my tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Highlights was the lunch at Brick Bay and the visit to see the Kauri tree.... Worth every penny!"

"We were picked up at the cruise ship dock, and whisked out of town for a 6 hour vineyard tour. Driver/guide Sanjay Shah was excellent, kept us on time to each stop and was flexible about our preferences. The company (just one other couple) was fun and lunch for everyone at the beautiful Brick Bay Winery was perfection. Sanjay dropped us at the airport for our late flight back and I felt I was saying goodbye to a friend. Highly recommend."

"We had a great wine tour led by Mo Spectacular view of the Tasman Sea as we visited the gannet colony Lunch was at the glass house with great food while sampling 3 wines We had a fun group of 3 couples - strangers when we started but friends when we finished A fine day and a top recommendation"

"John was the perfect tour guide. Because we got an early start our first scheduled stop was not yet open so John took us to Omaha beach, which was absolutely beautiful just after sunrise. He shared stories of his family time at the beach, which made it much more enjoyable. He then took us to a coffee shop before we were taken to a chocolate shop where we were able to sample and purchase boutique chocolates. Our visit to the Sculptarium was much more enjoyable than I expected. The setting for the sculptures was visually stunning and the signs accompanying the sculptures were very helpful to this non-artistic viewer. When John heard us saying how we enjoy souvenir shopping he added an unscheduled stop at a small marketplace for approximately 30 minutes where we were able to purchase some lovely souvenirs. Our next stop was a winery, but the one we were scheduled to visit was closed on that day (this should have been known at booking but for some reason obviously it was not). John immediately got on the phone and found a substitute vineyard where we were able to have our wine tasting and sit in a café overlooking a lovely lily pond while we sipped a purchased glass of wine along with canapés and chocolates (also our purchase). Throughout the day John gave wonderful commentary on the country and countryside as well as answering all questions. We learned so much from him. It was a truly enjoyable and wonderful experience."

"OMG, when I tell you I had a great time doing this tour it would probably be an understatement. My driver was sincerely one of the best encounters I’ve had Internationally. He was awesome and such a nice person. My experience was outstanding and the wine was amazing. I would most certainly recommend this if you’re visiting Auckland and be sure to request this driver"
