5.00We had Donna as our guide, and she was fabulous. She went over Māori history and customs and took us all over Auckland showing us significant and jus interesting places. It was the highlight of our entire vacation. It was great having one on one time with her, and there was only one other ouple. I love small group tous.
The best of Auckland

5.00It was an absolutely epic Māori tour delivered in Auckland for our clients. Ceillhe went above and beyond sharing the culture, stories, and knowledge with such generosity, warmth, and pride. Our clients felt genuinely welcomed and deeply moved by the experience, and they’ve been talking about it nonstop. Thank you for the care you put into every detail and for creating something so meaningful and memorable. We’re grateful to partner with you and look forward to sending more guests your way.

5.00Our tour guide Donna, pick us up from our hotel exactly on time. Donna explained she is Maori. She spent all day with us explaining and telling us about the Maori people, there history and traditions. One of the highlights was the Maori cultural presentation at the Auckland War Memorial Museum. The Maori presenters were very talented and convincing communicators of the Maori culture. They engaged with us in the audience making us feel a more like a part of the presentation. Donna knowledge of the flora and fauna was exceptional. A lot of the vegetation is indigenous to New Zealand with some trees and plants having exceptional medicinal qualities. We can recommend Donna to anyone wishing for a full day experiencing an exceptional introduction to the Maori culture, Auckland along with incredible views of the area.
The best ever

5.00This private tour was an amazing introduction to Auckland and the Māori culture and well worth the money. Our guide Donna was so knowledgeable and so much fun to be with. She was totally willing to share her personal experiences and Māori culture with us and explain so much of the country’s history, geography, flora and fauna and traditions. We spent nine hours with Donna but the day was so relaxed that it didn’t even feel like that much time had passed. Time flies when you’re having fun. I highly recommend Time Unlimited and the one day Auckland Māori tour - and ask for Donna. As she will tell you, there is only two degrees of separation!! Kathy L Jan 19, 2026

5.00We really enjoyed our tour with Donna and learnt a lot about the Māori culture and enjoyed visiting Piha beach especially . Beautiful stretch of beach but very strong surf needless to say we did not paddle or swim ! We had a whole day trip with Donna and the next day I did a half day trip with her where I purchased some green stone for family under her guidance and we visited some of the very attractive suburbs surrounding Auckland city . Donna was very personable and made the whole experience fun . I felt we met as strangers but left as friends !
Brilliant well done

Donna and Drew were fabulous hosts and tour guides: engaging, warm, informative and very professional. They explained in detail and in an interesting, highly interactive way important points about Auckland’s rich culture and traditions and natural landscapes. We thoroughly recommend the tour to others. Anand and Kavita Kulkarni
