Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We could not have had a better day! Olie is wonderful! From the very first moment we knew we were in for a very special day!. The van is beautiful, clean and comfortable. We were greeted with ice cold water and some special local treats. We got on the road and enjoyed Olie's knowledge of all things Kiwi!! The caves are worth the trip! A delicious lunch at a beautiful little restaurant was also included. It was a relaxing, fun day and we felt pampered and well cared for every step of the way! Thank you Olie!!

Best day tour in New Zealand! Olie met us at the Auckland cruise pier. We’re a group of 6 adults just getting off a 14 day New Zealand cruise. He was prompt, bright & early, had gift bags for each one of us (chocolate bar & chips) and a tray of yummy home baked brownies the wife baked. So awesome! The van was very comfortable, and was fun visiting with Olie during the ride to & from Waitomo.
Our coffee stops and lunch we’re excellent.
We had great tours in New Zealand but we considered Olie’s tour our favorite! We still talk about it back in Houston.
Thanks so much!

Olie & Anne are the best, they made us very comfortable throughout our whole trip and were also flexible and accommodating to our requests. Definitely not to be missed if you need a heads up or two when in Auckland. Our group enjoyed the day very much and our entire trip’s highlight was surely today spent with them!

Olie was fantastic as a flexible planner, great driver, knowledge of New Zealand and the areas we visited, and a funny and charming person to spend the day with. What started out as a cloudy and rainy day turned into a great experience for the four of us. We recommend Olie and his company for an enjoyable day!

My wife and I have done many wine tours and Olie’s is one of the best. Excellent wineries and food, but even better is Olie himself-very attentive, knowledgeable, smart and funny. You couldn’t want any more from a wine tour.

From the moment we got on board the beautiful new Mercedes bus, Ollie had us entertained with his great stories and made the trip a real highlight for our family. The complimentary “keke” goodies bag with NZ chocolate and other yummy things was a great touch as well.
