Best hidden gem of a tour in all of New Zealand!!!

Incredible avocado tour, highly recommend!

My husband and I signed up for the avocado tour off of the recommendation of our hotel. We had minimal expectations going in, and Tim completely knocked our socks off.

Perfect gourmet tour with tasting and information

We had a great avocado tour at Tim's farm. We got a lot of exciting information about the avocados, but the highlight was of course the gourmet tasting. We couldn't decide what was most delicious because everything tasted great. We can recommend the tour to anyone!
