Having just one day in Auckland in Oct 09, we booked this tour online before leaving home and it did not disappoint. We visited a variety of different and interesting places. We especially liked the Arataki reserve and Muriwai beach with its gannet colony. Donna provided a wonderful homecooked lunch and we even managed a side trip to meet the... more

TAKE THIS TOUR. You will be glad you did. What I will remember the most about the day was the hospitality of Donna and Stu. They took 14 Americans and Canadians into their home and treated us like family. We were their best friends for the day. They showed us around their town and around their farm. I will always... more

We HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tour. It was perfect for our family. We had been living in Auckland for almost three months when we took this tour, and we still learned and saw lots that I'm not sure we would have been able to without Stuart's and Donna's excellent tour. We had our four-year-old daughter along with us... I wasn't sure... more

If you want to really see Auckland, beyond the city, spend the day with Stu and Donna. You won't forget the experience and you'll get to see fabulous sights and savor the culture. It was the best thing we did in Auckland - don't miss this special opportunity. more

Donna cooked us a wonderful lunch at the farm, Stewart... more

We spent the second day of our honeymoon with Stuart and Donna and it was one of the best decisions we made. They were incredibly knowledgeable, welcoming and friendly. We so enjoyed our full day tour. It may look like an expensive day, but it is great value for money. We remember our day with grateful thanks and the fondest... more

My sister and I were in Auckland for 2 days only and chose the 1-day EcoTour on October 22 as a way to get out of the City and see some culture. Stuart picked us up at our downtown hotel at 9: 30 a.m. and we went to a variety of places - where they make manuka honey, where Gannets... more

This was one of the highlights of my trip. Stewart and Donna are amazing. You feel like a family member visiting them on vacation. The day is packed with great wine, food, sights, experiences and wonderful company. I would do this day all over again. more
