    This was a wonderful experience. We embarked on a tour with Karthik, who was extremely insightful and shared the most interesting facts about Auckland and New Zealand. We were fortunate to be the only ones on our tour, which made it extra special since we were on our honeymoon from the States and it was our final day in Auckland. We enjoyed a fantastic chocolate tasting, a delightful stroll viewing Katakana art, and an amazing lunch. That was just the beginning before the exceptional wine tasting at Sculptureum, which could have been a tour on its own. To top it off, we were treated to the best gelato in NZ at the end. If you have any doubts about booking this tour, rest assured and make your reservation for a day filled with enjoyment!

    The charcuterie boards are amazing! Wine was excellent. We bought 2 bottles of Pinot Gris to take home for a birthday party. The art walk in the forest was a nice touch especially with the classical music. I have been to 155 countries and I have never heard classical music in a forest. Kudos to the person who thought that up.

    We booked our tour via Expedia and were picked up on time at our hotel. Our driver Karthik gave great explanations along the way. The drive was very comfortable in a Mercedes van. First stop was the Manuka honey farm. Very interesting, we learned a lot and saw the bees at work.. I enjoyed one of the best ice creams, made with honey..delicious! We experienced a lot of honey based products such as eye cream or soap. Unfortunately we can't take honey home..so delicious. Chocolate tasting was next..super quality. Swiss like .The highlight was wine tasting and lunch at glasshouse winery. A must for food and wine lovers. And the Art trail is something you will never forget...and a good workout after the great lunch.we spent a good 2 hours there..great scenery also for photo taking. As an ice cream lover I was in for a special treat on the way back.. You won't miss it..artisan ice cream at it's best..ask Karthik to take you there.. A wonderful excursion!!!
