A few comments from our guests on their memorable experiences…

"We have to thank you so much for our wonderful stay on Waiheke.  Every aspect of it was perfect, especially your kindness and expertise.  The other guests also helped make it such a memorable experience.

We have been recommending your tours to everyone we have spoken to. We mustn't forget the Boatshed - I can't recall staying in a more welcoming place."

"Thanks once again for a wonderful time on Waiheke Island.  The highlight for me was definitely visiting Pamela’s property and her studio.  Lunch on the terrace was fab and of course spectacular scenery!  Going into people’s homes is always a treat and makes group touring feel more intimate and exclusive!

I loved the Boatshed Hotel - the perfect Boutique Hotel - small, interesting, beautifully pared back luxury with fabulous staff.  So lovely to meet you and John.  I look forward to sharing another experience with you both in the future."

"You went the extra mile to give us wonderful food experiences and we did so enjoy the small restaurants. I really liked the fact that we had coffee or an ice-cream and that was all covered money wise. There is nothing worse than at the end of a break you all stand in a queue to pay individually. All in all a great holiday far removed from any other tour operators."

"The huge variety of experiences will stay with us for some time! The beautiful gardens and villas, the opportunity to explore at one’s own leisure and the interesting local markets."

"Our sixteen days were amongst the most enjoyable experiences of our lives."

"Both tours were great and we found Croatia particularly interesting. Our memorable experiences were the water taxi trip which wound through canals to deliver us to a superb restaurant, the choir aboard the boat ferrying us across the Plitvice Lake and the wonderful guides, they contributed so much to the success of the tour."

"Your assistance in arranging everything before and at all times during the tour was first class, together with your ability to accept all of our personal foibles. I doubt that you could have done more. Superb!"

"A wonderful, wonderful experience, like living in a fairy tale. We are sure that the memories will live with us forever."

"Your interpretation of our needs was exemplary!"
