          Travelling with the “Coast to Coast Tour Limited”
          We had a wonderful trip travelling with the “Coast to Coast Tour Limited” today. Mr. Allan was a very cautious driver to drive carefully on the road although the weather was a bit foggy and the view was a bit misty on the road. We enjoyed feeding all kinds of animals such as the roaster, the hens, the sheep, the rabbits and the deers when we reached the farm. And we had a good walk in the forestry park seeing the 600 years old Kauri Tree. The walk was certainly helpful in our digestion after having a heavy lunch of chicken burger with chips. And we had seen a very good scenario along the seaside and the waterfront and there were many yachts parking at the harbour of Auckland. It was a pleasant journey travelling with the “Coast to Coast Tour Limited” together with Mr. Allan who was very good in introducing and explaining to us the interesting places that we had visited.

          A taste of a farm in the city
          Great way to get a feel for farming near to the city. People of all ages enjoyed getting up close to and feeding all the animals and there are several different varieties.

          Awesome Auckland
          Peter, with Coast to Coast Tours was fantastic. Communication was great throughout the process. I booked a tour/shore excursion for 18 people. The timing of our ship's arrival kept changing. Peter was patient and accomodating. We had a wonderful day and went to a Manuka honey place, black sand beach, and Sheep World. We had delicious fish and chips at a beautiful park with a 300 year old tree . We even stopped for Hokey Pokey ice cream. Our driver was super nice and I feel bad that I cannot remember his name. I highly recommend Coast to Coast.

          Fabulous Day at Sheep World
          Wonderful tour with Allan as our tour guide. The van was modern, clean and comfortable. Loved seeing not only Sheep World but also interesting commentary as we drove. Learned so much from the sheep show. This is a 'must see' don't miss it. Allan was very accommodating.

          FANTASTIC SHEEP WORLD COUNTRY TOUR
          Kia Ora! My best friend along with our husbands celebrated our birthdays and enjoyed the Sheep World Country Tour. Our tour guide/operator, Peter was so gracious and accommodating throughout our tour. Driving through the country side was so serene that it melted all our stresses away. Our first stop at the Honey Centre was fascinating. Never knew so many products can be made out of honey with great health benefits! We bought jars for all our family members. Next stop was at Sheep World. We loved feeding the various animals and found the sheep dogs and sheep shearing show very educational. Knowing that our contributions also helps with supporting young people made it so much more meaningful. Our tour took us to a chocolate shop, beautiful beaches and we also took a stroll to a park to see the Kauri trees. Throughout the tour, Peter was very knowledgeable and informative. This experience will always be a memorable one for me. Peter, thank you so much for your hospitality. P.S. the lion tamer.... lol!

          A must-do for wine aficionados!
          A great day visiting wineries, sampling new wines, and learning about the history of wine in the region. Susan provided great insights and even some bonus anecdotes about the Rings of Power filming nearby!

          Fantastic Tour by Jose!
          Highly recommended! This is by far the best tour I have ever been on. Jose is an excellent guide, who made all of us feel so at home. Knowledgeable, friendly and with a great sense of humour (talk cock haha)! Lawrence

          Comprehensive Auckland Experience
          We had a great day with Jose "yo-say" (took me a while to get that right). Sheepworld was not only a sheep dog and shearing show, but had a substantial animal farm full of friendly critters to feed. Jose also took us to some scenic lookouts, a Kauri (NZ tree) park walk and a wonderful lunch cafe near a local potter's workshop and showroom.

          Tasty, Informative, & FUN!👌🏼🍷
          Peter was fabulous, and made this wine tour day so enjoyable for our group! The wineries we visited were terrific, and the lunch included in the price was a divine charcuterie platter that paired perfectly with the wines. Thank you, Peter, for a delightful and informative day in Kumeu!👏🏻👌🏼🤩🍷 Donna & David B-K

          Wine tour in Kumeu River.
          The tour was great. Our tour guide very knowledgeable, friendly, and informative. When I booked this tour I booked it specifically because we were to visit Kumeū River Winery. Our tickets confirmed this. However we did not stop there. According to our guide he has never stopped there. The tour company should stop stating that they stop there. Despite that it was an excellent tour.

          Absolutely Fantastic!!! A must do!!
          This was absolutely the best tour! Peter (operator) selected 3 awesome wineries, all different, which made for a great experience! Lunch at the last one was fabulous and the scenery gorgeous! We also enjoyed the sights of the countryside, the incredible shoreline and black sand beach! The day could not have been better! Thank you, Peter!!!

          Great stopover stop with kids
          Sheep world was in the best stopover spot on our roadtrip from Paihia to Heihei. We didn't visit during a tour or sheepshearing show, but we were the only people for awhile on the property which was quite nice. My son loved every minute of it. Truthfully, coming from the states, it was a small farm/petting zoo but overall the staff was super friendly and we enjoyed feeding the animals. There was a good variety of animals as well. We would go back again.

          Wonderful Experience
          We had a private tour with Josey and it was wonderful! The wineries were great, especially Soljans. We learned about the family history at the vineyard. The drive through the area and to the beach was beautiful. This is well worth the experience!

          West Auckland wine tour
          We had an excellent tour of three of the wineries of West Auckland and a trip out to the black sand beach at Muriwai. This was an area of Auckland we hadn't been to for over 15 years. Our host, Jose, was an excellent tour guide and able to provide plenty of information of how the area had developed over that time. There were only the two of us on the tour so it could quite easily have been cancelled, but, as it wasn't, we were able to tweak a couple of parts of the tour so it became a very personalised trip for us both.

          Loved Sheep World! And the gift shop!!
          Sheep World was a delightful afternoon visiting the friendly, cute animals. Even when it was pouring rain, the hosts were helpful and we got to bottle feed baby sheep. Be sure and ask about the Huntaway dog!! I had never heard of such and he is really cute. Lunch was good, even vegetarian options for my granddaughter. Small but nice gift shop with quality items...I have a very cute winter hat with a sheep on it from there and my granddaughter bought family gifts. Enjoy, worth the drive.

        Susan picked my wife and I up at the cruise ship terminal. She was very friendly, attentive to our needs, interesting to talk to, an excellent driver and informative during our trip. The Waitomo Glow Worm Cave is unique and worth seeing but no photos are permitted. Hobbiton exceeded our expectations. Susan handled all the details including pit stops.

        We had a great time. Susan was our host. She was very informative and a joy to be with. The glow worms were spectacular and the Hobbiton was really impressive and the included ale at the end wasn't bad either. There was just my wife and I on the tour Susan took care of everything and kept us on time. I would book tours with them again. Just as advertised.

        Peter picked us up at 6:30 am for our trip to Waitomo and Hobbiton. He was prompt and friendly- very comfortable for the 5 of us immediately. Stopped at McDs for a restroom break (and coffee to wake up!) and off to Waitomo caves. Lunch at the Waitomo caves and on to Hobbiton.

        Peter was an informative guide and shared information about New Zealand throughout the trip. We had some good laughs and learned a lot from him. He is good at his job and seems to truly enjoy being with visitors.

        Thankful for Peter's kindness in giving my daughter a ride back to her host home in Swanson vs. having her take the hour train ride back from Auckland. Peter didn't have to do that- rather volunteered as it was about 15 minutes out of his way. *Thank you Peter!

        If you are considering a tour while in town would highly recommend Peter's tour to Hobbiton and the glow worm caves. You will be safe, comfortable, and learn a great deal about this beautiful country.

        I was drawn to Coast to Coast initially because of Peter's responsiveness to my email inquiries. My mom and I booked two tours with Peter during our stay in New Zealand, the Sheep World tour and the Hobbiton movie set tour. Peter is incredibly thoughtful, personable and professional. We are particularly pleased that he tailored the itinerary to our preferences. For example, knowing that we are light drinkers and cheese fanatics, he omitted the second winery checkpoint and took us to a Puhoi Valley store where we found some of the best cheeses in town! We had a blast in Auckland and this is attributed largely to Peter's amazing tours. We wish him continued success in the future!
