Lovely wines and views! - Had an awesome tour led by Paul! He gave us a lot of great information about the island and my sister and I both really enjoyed the wines and views. It was seamless catching the ferry over (granted, we arrived to the terminal over an hour before departure bc it was a crowded summer day) and it was easy to find Paul once we were in Waiheke. Would absolutely recommend this tour.

A Beautiful Island Tour! - We had an amazing time on our tour. Paul was very knowledgeable about the island and had a lot of local tips for us. He took us around to a wide range of wineries and they were all very good!

Awesome tour, great Wineries and local knowledge - The half day tour with Michael was awesome, he drove us around the island giving an interesting commentary and stopping off at scenic lookouts as time allowed. He was friendly and knowledgeable. We visited 3 lovely wineries where we did wine tastings and had a lunch platter and glass of wine at Stony Ridge. I would highly recommend this tour :)

Wine, Views, Fiona! - Fiona was thr BEST guide. We started promotly on time and quickly made our way to the first location. Fiona was very knowledgeable and proud of the island so we learned alot along the way. The second stop has wonderful food and scenery. The final stop had great views and Bob who had all the jokes and background about winemaking on the island. Although the second stop is a nice long period of time, the first and third stops were quick stops. Would have been nice to spending alittle more time and possibly a glass of your favorite from the tasting. But this is a very small piece of scheduling feedback. Overall we loved the tour!

Wine and lunch - Simon was awesome! The wine tasting was very good. Yet, it could have been much better if the Batch Winery provided better customer service and a more comfortable/suitable tasting environment.
