We spent a lovely day on the countryside around Auckland riding horses, tasting wine, enjoying a lovely lunch at a winery, doing an art walk, and stopping to marvel at the spectacular scenery. Our guide/driver David was just marvelous. My husband tweaked his hip earlier in our trip and so he elected to skip the horseback riding. Not one to let the time pass idly, David took my husband about on a lovely drive. He made other tweaks and adjusts to our trip that helped make it just a fantastic day, notwithstanding my husband’s mobility issues. Couldn’t recommend Auckland & Beyond and David highly enough. We used A&B for other tours and they were all equally perfectly planned and executed. Great and timely communication.
Thank you for sharing your fantastic experience with Auckland & Beyond Tours! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a memorable day exploring the countryside, riding horses, tasting wine, and enjoying the stunning scenery. David truly goes above and beyond to ensure every guest has a comfortable and enjoyable experience, and we’re so glad he was able to make personalized adjustments to accommodate your husband’s needs. It’s wonderful to know that our communication, planning, and execution met your expectations across all your tours with us! We appreciate your kind words and recommendation, and we look forward to welcoming you on another adventure in the future! Best wishes & safe travels!
We really enjoyed this tour. The horse riding (Horse Riding Warkworth) was really enjoyable. They adequately chose horses based on our skill level and as an experienced rider I got a choice of horse. The family who owned and ran it we were lovely, clearly cared for the horses well and made sure you had a good time. We were taken on a fantastic scenic ride with great views and plenty of opportunities to go faster. At the wine tasting we were able to select a "flight" each and had a platter between us. The platter was outstanding and the amount of wine in the flight was generous. We also really enjoyed the sculpture park. The only downer was we weren't given enough time and had to rush around, miss bits out and not fully appreciate the bits we did see. I hate to give negativity for something we did genuinely enjoy but I cant help thinking, however, that the tour is somewhat overpriced. The value of the things we had equated to about $220, so we essentially paid near $1000 for the car and guide
Amazing time! Definitely worth checking out. Horse back riding was personal and a lovely time. Wine tasting was short but the owner was so interesting to speak with. All in all, very happy to have taken the tour.
Thank you for booking a private tour in Auckland. Our Horse Riding & Wine Tasting tour is indeed amazing! We choose the best vineyards for you to have the best experience. Thank you for choosing Auckland & Beyond Tours.
This is my first time horseback riding. I was very scared and they were very patient with me and helpful. I also have very bad knees and they were able to help me get on the horse and off the horse. They were constantly encouraging me that everything was gonna be OK. The scenes are beautiful, especially on the Tasman sea!!! I definitely recommend this
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a positive and memorable experience on your first horseback ride.
