    My partner and I had the best time with Frank yesterday! He was super friendly and knowledgeable, and more than happy to pick us up right on time from our campervan spot. Neither of us knew anything about wine but he and the many incredible staff members working at each winery made it comfortable and easy. We learnt a lot! Would highly recommend this tour and can't thank Frank enough!

    We have just returned from an afternoon wine tour trip with Frank and the only words I have to say are AMAZING. I researched a lot as there are many tours to choose from and Frank gets great reviews on TripAdvisor and now I know why! From the first email i sent Frank was friendly and efficient. We were picked up promptly from our campsite and taken to four vineyards. Frank is funny, friendly and has amazing knowledge and well known by the locals which came apparent during our trip. He was eager to please and even found me hokey pokey ice cream that I said i wanted to try....... a must if you haven't yet! To top it all off the final stop was a craft brewery a winner for my beer loving husband and something I really enjoyed. If you want a personal, friendly informative trip by a local that has a true passion for what they do then Frank is your man! We may even try and sneak in another trip before we go!

    Frankly the BEST tour in Hawkes Bay!! Seriously a MUST-DO. Frank's 25+ years of experience working in Hawkes Bay winery's made the tour unforgettable, and he was extremely friendly and funny to boot! Frank's smaller tour size makes for a personalized experience that accommodates your ideal itinerary, and lets you meet lovely like-minded wino's along the way. If you're looking for a tour that will exceed your expectations, this is not only a high recommendation, it is the ONLY tour my friends and I would recommend. Cheers Frank!

    Really great tour! Frank chose some amazing places for us to go to and the pace was absolutely perfect. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a solid afternoon wine tour. It ends in a brewery for a taste of something a little different!

    Frank took us out for a great, personalised afternoon of boutique wineries and one amazing brewery. Frank shared his extensive knowledge of the area and made us feel so welcome in a region he has such a passion for.

  • 5/5 francis h. 6 years ago on Google
    Frankly the best wine tour in Hawkes Bay!

  • 5/5 Tim P. 1 year ago on Google
    I couldn't recommend Frank more highly. We decided to head to Napier without detailed plans and Frank was incredible. His local knowledge, wry sense of humour and willingness to be flexible was outstanding. We would definitely recommend you reach out to him and work out a plan.

    I Highly recommend Frank! We had a great time! He is super knowledgeable about all the liitle secret gems of Hawkes Bay and extremely informative. He's also great fun and a great laugh.

  • 5/5 Ariel M. 3 years ago on Google
    Highly recommend Frankly Tours. We did the Half day tour and it was so much fun and great value. All the wineries had a great selection of wines and they took their time with the tastings and explaining the processes behind the wines they produced. And finishing off the tour with a visit to a local brewery was perfect. Frank has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to Hawkes Bay and all the wines that are produced there. Thank you for such a great tour

    We spent a fantastic day with my wife during the tour. Totally recommend. The craft brewery at the end was that extra effort that made the experience unique!

    Great tour, fun, interesting, and genuine.

  • 5/5 Donna W. 4 years ago on Google
    We had a fantastic day with Frank. This tour is fantastic value and is carried out in a relaxed but efficiently run manner. Frank picked us up from our accommodation before we took in one large winery and 3 smaller operations and then lastly the brewery which finished us off nicely. Frank then delivered us back to our accommodation, opened the door and poured us out. Great day spent with lovely people from diverse backgrounds.

  • 5/5 Nestor C. 3 years ago on Google
    A very relaxed and enjoyable experience, as every wine tour should be. Frank was great, not only at sharing his experience about wine and the Hawke's Bay region, but also at tailoring an unforgettable experience keeping in mind our interests and expectations.The range of wineries he selected was diverse and each one was very unique and interesting. Absolutely recommend him!

  • 5/5 Darren H. 3 years ago on Google
    Great day out. Frank is very knowledgeable and a great guide. Visited some wineries i would not have gone if self-guiding. Thanks Frank.

  • 5/5 Liz 3 years ago on Google
    Highly recommend spending an afternoon with Frank, he's got great chat and brilliant knowledge of the region and wine industry. Loved how each winery was a little different to the one before and the brewery rounded the day off well

  • 5/5 Wayne M. 3 years ago on Google
    Frank of Frankly tours does a very good job of delivering his guided wine tours. Very knowledgeable and well versed with the history of Hawkes Bay events and the establishment of wine vineyards. We found Frank to be well organised and relaxed which made the overall experience outstanding. He keeps the destinations a mystery which wasn't a problem as all of the open vineyards had great wines to taste. We were lucky too have two funny and highly entertaining young Irish women book themselves on the same tour, we all had a great fun filled day. Highly recommend Frankly Tours 👍🍷🍾

👍👍 Bikes were well maintained and operated smoothly. Maps were clear and concise. The itinerary was a bit aggressive, but the owner picked us up after we got in over heads without hesitation so we could continue the journey. Cannot recommend highly enough!
