April 9, 2024Dick HFantastic tour - We did the 4 hour Scenic Wine Tour with a private guide and 12 tastings. The island was gorgeous and the vineyards were spectacular.

We had a chance to see a good bit... read more of the island and enjoy fabulous scenery and unmatched views. The wine tasting experiences at Man O’ War and Batch were entertaining, educational and delicious. We enjoyed lunch at Batch overlooking Waheike with views of both surrounding oceans. Lovely! An added bonus was trying the gins at the Waheike Distilling Co. We enjoyed it so much that we purchased a bottle of The Spirit of Waheike to take home. Throughout it all, Graeme was a wonderful host, sharing about the people and the culture and the island as we toured. We would do it again in a heartbeat!

Knowledgeable And Friendly Bloke - A seamless transition from the Ferry to the Van. Graeme was waiting patiently for me when I disembarked the boat, as advertised. He whisked me away to see... read more some vistas and then took me to a couple wineries for premium wine tastings. Sadly, it went way too fast. My only regret is not staying longer! Graeme was a knowledgeable and friendly host who lives on the island. He not only was a delight on my brief tour of Waiheke, but he also provided me with many tips about things to do and places to go in Auckland. I highly recommend you utilize his services when visiting the area!

He was willing to make adjustments to the tour so that we could be dropped off at Mt. Eden for dinner and a sunset climb. Our family all wanted to spend more time with him and we were grateful for his time and energy.

We definitely want to recommend him and his company for all the tours he has.

August 10, 2023norpatmatThe very BEST way to explore Auckland - I cannot say enough GREAT things about this tour. Thank Graeme and Kiwi Tuk Tuk Tours for providing my sister and me a really unique experience. Right from... read more the time of our booking, the communication was stellar. Graeme picked us up at our hotel and gave us a personalized, guided tour of the city of Auckland. It is clear to me that Graeme is proud of his city and he shared a great deal of history and culture of the Māori people and colonization period.
The Tuk Tuk (large electric golf cart) is comfortable and can maneuver into small places. Graeme stopped for photo opportunities and even let us take a detour to get a coffee. I am so glad I stumbled upon this tour when searching the web. I happily recommend this tour to anyone who is looking to get an Auckland overview, but has no interest in the hop on hop off buses.

Would definitely... read more recommend! Our guide was very accommodating and very informative, although the weather wasn’t great (raining) and visibility a bit low on certain landmarks it was still a great tour. Also, rather than taking us directly back to our hotel at the end of the tour, our guide happily dropped us off at the Auckland Art Gallery with no bother, and we had a wonderful time at the gallery. Another must-do when in Auckland. All in all a great last day in the city!
