    Good deal

    Pick up was really easy, clear instructions which ferry to take. Nice guide, some fun information. the 2 wineries + tastings were great, especially the last winetasting with the little snacks. only things that could be improved was the lunch. It was a good lunch, but way to small.

    Waiheke wine tour

    Enjoyable tour. Well organised and you get to see Waiheke Island. The wines for me were not that great, but that is a personal thing. However, it is a great tour and is well worth the money.

    It's great

    It was fun. Additionally, i had a time to talk with people from other countries during the fresh lunch and it was unforgetable memory.
