Personal tour - I asked Briar to give me a quick personal tour with photo opportunities. She delivered 100% using her local knowledge taking me to some special spots off the usual tourist trail. Stephen Jeal

Music, History and Fun - Briar met us at the ferry and spent several hours showing us the beauty of Waihike. From her music to the tramping tracks and the beaches the afternoon was absolutely delightful! Lunch at a local winery was a treat as she knows so many people and an antimony of history. We would highly recommend Briar’s Jazz Cab.

Music, wine, olives and incredible sights - We stepped off the ferry and were searching around for how we were going to see some of the island, when we stumbled across Briar. She asked us what sights we wanted to see and customized a wonderful tour and gave us a great price. She was so friendly and knowledgeable and took us to some off tour spots. We really enjoyed ourselves and of course loved the music in the car.

Briar‘s Jazz Cab - marvelous day trip! - I went for a private Waiheke day tour with Briar. Briar is the real deal. She knows everyone and everyone knows her. Has been living on the island for 20 years. So I got to know the secret spots. So joyful, and as the jazz singer she is we enjoyed to sing a couple of songs together. Her car is trying to be a London City taxi cab. Which it is. Loved it! Will book her again!

Transport on Waiheke - We were lucky enough to get to meet Briar while doing a week of hiking on Waiheke Island, and used her taxi service. Great local knowledge, and super keen to share stories of life on Waiheke. Can't recommend Briar highly enough for tours/transport on Waiheke. P.S, check her out on Spotify, what an incredible singer!!!
