This was a wonderful... - This was a wonderful experience to begin our time in New Zealand. We were fortunate to have a beautiful sunny day and our tour guide was amazing. It was a relaxing and informative tour and lunch at the Three Seven Two was some of the best steak I've ever had. Very highly recommend :)

Easy and fun - Had an awesome tour with Rob who was lots of fun, met some lovely people, went to 3 gorgeous wineries and had a delicious lunch. Value for money, well organised and enjoyed the drive around the Isand with spectacular views. Rob is also an excellent photographer FYI.

Exceptional wine vineyard tour and lunch! - Our driver Caleb was fantastic, great information on the island as we drove to the vineyards and lunch. The lunch location was perfect both in terms of location and food quality. The three vineyards were all exceptional and memorable. Air group was all very international and congenial, highly recommend this trip!

Beautiful island and fun tour. - The bus was clean and very comfortable. The guide (Rotoroa?)was funny, engaging and knowledgeable about the island. The lunch was a delicious surprise, much higher quality than I expected from a tour. All of the vineyards we visited were beautiful. The wines were good, just not right for our taste. We were met at the ferry terminal on time and brought back on time. The Island is beautiful, with quaint villages and pristine beaches. I highly recommend checking it out.

Waiheke Premium Wine Tour - Oliver was our guide and was very knowledgeable about Waiheke and made the trip a fun day. We visited three different wineries and had a fun and relaxing time at each. There was a good variety of wines tasted and the wineries were very professional regarding their presentation. I would highly recommend the tour. Oliver also gave us a nice tour of the island and shared his local knowledge.

A great wine tasting tour option! - An excellent wine tasting tour around the beautiful Waiheke island from start to end. All three tastings were great, the lunch was delicious, our tour guide Nooroa was so fun, kind and made an effort to get to know everyone in our group. He had engaging commentary while driving around the island and gave helpful tips once he learned where we were still traveling to around NZ. It was easy to find the pickup location after getting off the ferry as well. We hope to visit the island again in the future and stay longer next time.

Nice but overpriced - The guide was very nice and very pleasant! I would give five stars for that! However, this whole tour is very overpriced. The wines were only partly good. When tasting, there wasn't even a small piece of bread. The lunch touted as a highlight consisted of a tiny bit of bread with olive oil and a main course (without side dish). No dessert and no coffee. The tour was nice but really overpriced!
