“This was a really well planned food tour. The tour guide was knowledgeable and made the effort to get the group to gel. We got introduced to some great food venues within a small part of the CBD, giving us the confidence to scratch beneath the surface ourselves. There was enough food to cover us for lunch but not so much that we didn't have room for dinner. We took away some top tips that we used later in our holiday. A great tour.”

“We had a wonderful day with Shirley who showed us around Waiheke Island. We loved how we were able to learn more about the culture and life on the island, whilst also visiting local wineries, breweries and distilleries. We also got to try local made honey and olive oil - the olive herb spread was a favorite! But the best thing about today was our guide Shirley. She really made us feel at home and spread positive energy. Her passion for the island showed throughout the day. We would highly recommend anyone to do this.”
