Andy provided a wonderful, warm, interesting experience for me while visiting the very charming village of Matakana. We sampled and learned a great deal about Manuka and other honeys at Beetopia with the lovely Grass. We strolled around a beautiful sculpture garden after a delicious lunch; and carved a sweet jade pendant which will remind me through the years of the amazing sites and welcoming and friendly people of New Zealand.
Hello Jack & Rosie, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your private tour to Matakana and that Andy helped make the day memorable. It’s great to know you loved the honey tasting, sculpture garden, and your special pounamu carving experience. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope your jade pendant continues to remind you of your time in Aotearoa. We’d be thrilled to welcome you back again one day!
The tour of the Sculptureum, Matakana village, and the wineries was truly experience to remember. Henrik quickly became the New Zealand uncle that we never knew we had, and he showed us a wonderful time. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the North Island.
We were able to modify this tour for our needs. We wanted to visit Sheepworld and were offered a wine experience too. We opted out of the wine tour for a chocolate experience. Adil was our personal guide. Hen took us to a wonderful restaurant which was inclieded in the price of the tour. We got an extra bonus of visiting a renowned pottery business. To top off our return to town he drove us to the top of One Tree Hill. He truly personalized the entire trip to our liking
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re delighted to hear your Matakana Art & Wine Village private tour was exactly what you wanted. It’s wonderful that we could personalize the experience to include Sheepworld, a chocolate tasting, a visit to the pottery studio, and the spectacular view from One Tree Hill—all curated especially for you. Adil and Hen are thrilled to know their efforts to tailor the day have been appreciated. Your feedback means a great deal to us, and we’re grateful you chose Auckland & Beyond Tours. It would be our pleasure to welcome you again for another entirely bespoke adventure.
We had a great day with our guide, David. It was a wonderful day and we saw places we would have never found had we been on our own.
We visited for a few hours in the afternoon. Such a helpful and friendly welcome on arrival. The art is outstanding and the gardens simply fabulous. We all loved this experience and highly recommend it to others.
Thank you for recommending our private tour to Matakana Art & wine Village. We are glad that you loved the experience and we look forward to having you again in the future for another experience.
