    This was so worth the money, we had a fantastic day. The sights were amazing and the drivers and hosts were entertaining and knowledgeable. I will be recommending thus to others and will do it again next time I have the opportunity.

    This was the perfect last minute tour. Great value for money and super flexible. The staff were very friendly and we enjoyed the different guides on the buses, they had a great sense of humour and some good recommendations. We only stopped at three wineries as we took our time and enjoyed each place.

    I found it to be informative and I came away from it with a desire to learn more about the indigenous people, the Maori, of Aotearoa.

    The crew were all experts and obviously committed to preserving and respecting the environment. They were sensitive to the needs of the passengers and very responsive to questions. And the Waitemata Harbour and inner Hauraki Gulf are hard to beat!
