Good overview type of tour of the area on a tour bus. Staff were very accommodating and friendly. Only downside was wi-fi on bus didn't work, which I could have cared less about, but so many gripes and interruptions from others didn't make for a smooth tour (to start off).

I selected your 2-Hour City Sightseeing Tour - Tauranga City & Scenic Lookout as fit in perfectly with what we wanted to do and it did not disappoint. This was probably one of the most informative and well planned out tours you could fit in two hours. The tour guide was very pleasant, informative and knowledgeable about the area and answered all questions, and also took photos of the guest when asked. Her presentation was well received by all and was above and beyond our expectation for a two-hour tour. (Robert and Gloria)

This is a new tour for the owners of this business. They are still working out the system and I’m sure it will be nice in the future. The island is lovely.

Great excursion. Would have given it 5 stars except that the minibus was somewhat cramped for my 6’2” frame.
