Lance the driver was an absolute legend, a real gent. The day was fantastic from start to finish. Mudbrick winery stood out with its stunning venue. The wine master there, Dave, was brilliant. He is very passionate about wine and really engaged the whole group with it.

Family Enjoyed the whole Day

Thank you for this amazing review! Sounds like the perfect itinerary on our Essence of Waiheke Tour and great that it ended up being a private tour of just your family. We will share your kind words with Nick and we appreciate your feedback. Thank you for choosing Ananda Tours for your second visit to the Island. All the best, Jenny and the Ananda Team

What a tour!!!

We loved every aspect of this tour! The tour guide was funny, the wines were OUTSTANDING and our lunch was the best thing we have eaten in the whole 2 weeks we have been here! Worth every cent we paid, our only disappointment is that we have no way of drinking these wines once…

What an awesome review! Thank you Amanda! You will just have to visit us again someday and we can help you arrange to ship some wines home ;) Thank you and all the best! Jenny and the Ananda Team
