Paul did a great job driving our group around. - Paul did a great job driving our group around. Learned about kiwi plants, went to a brewery, had lunch at a great restaurant. did a wine tasting and stopped for dessert and coffee. Not much to do in port so this was a pleasant tour and Paul took care of us all and passed on his knowledge.

Fantastic Tour! - Paul was such an enjoyable guide. We loved the “extra” side trip to the Kiwi Orchard. The brewery was great, the lunch delicious, wine fabulous, and the dessert/cocktail finish decadent!

Superb day - What a fabulous day we had with Paul, his guided tour was exceptional. Showing us around Mt Manganui and Tauranga was very informative. With it being Kiwi fruit picking season, we saw them being loaded at the port, he showed us a kiwi fruit farm and explained how it all works. Onto the craft brewery where we had a tasting paddle, very nice beer, cider and gin. After visiting a lookout we had a 2 course lunch at the White House restaurant, fabulous food. Went to the only winery and was privileged to be able to have a taste of 8 wines. Back into Tauranga we stopped for a dessert and cocktail. A great way to end our tour. I highly recommend a day out with this company

An enjoyable tasting tour! - Excellent excursion with Paul. Not your everyday scenic tour, but a great local experience. A brewery stop with a tasting flight, followed by a charming lunch, then a detailed wine tasting at a local winery. We ended at the marina with a gourmet dessert and cocktail. Paul provided just the right amount of commentary; local sights, kiwi farm, etc. He was punctual, professional, and congenial. We had a nice day and would definitely recommend this tour.
