What To Expect
Auckland Harbour Bridge
Standing sentinel across the Waitemata Harbour, the Auckland Harbour Bridge is a crucial piece of infrastructure. Harbour bridge is the only bridge which connects the metropolis of the central business district to the North Shore and beyond to Northland.
North Head Historic Reserve
The location of Maungauika at the entrance to the Waitematā Harbour made it an important coastal defense. It was fears of a Russian invasion in the 1880s that led to the construction of a fort and the three disappearing gun batteries dotted along the maunga (mountain).

Above and Beyond Service

5.00Our ship was delayed arriving so our tour guide found another guide to take us on a private tour within the window of time we were at the port. This caused him a lot of extra work and coordination just to get us sorted. Then our guide Israel was most accommodating and flexible to essentially drive us wherever we wanted to go including a town 45 minutes outside of Auckland. We were looking at places outside the normal tourist sites as our interest was in housing for relocation. Israel was very knowledgeable about the various communities, the history and culture of his city which helped us learn a lot in a short amount of time. On top of all this, he was very kind and considerate! We would highly recommend both the tour company and the guides as they clearly care about providing a memorable experience. Don't hesitate to book with them!
Excellent Tour w/ Andrew

5.00We received excellent communication the day before our tour, which set the tone for a smooth experience. On the day itself, we were delighted to discover it was a private tour—what a wonderful surprise! Our guide, Iseral, was both friendly and professional, allowing us to explore each destination at our own pace. Mount Eden was a standout, offering breathtaking 360-degree views of Auckland—absolutely stunning. Although the Cathedral was unfortunately closed, we appreciated the flexibility to be dropped off at the Fish Market, where we enjoyed a delicious lunch to wrap up a fantastic day.

5.00Israel was nice and professional, bringing us to all the places and answered all the questions. As it was raining that day, he even had plan B to bring us to other places instead of out door, but thanks god the rain stopped after awhile.
Travel Introduction to New Zealand

- Review from Tripadvisor
4.00It was a small group and the guide's voice was very easy to hear. It was a very quick tour after arriving from Japan, but it was a good introduction to the two-week trip, as it gave us an overview of not only Auckland but also New Zealand. Thank you very much.
A great morning tour with Vinnie

5.00Fantastic half-day tour, everything was seamless, well-organised, and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish. Hwani, our tour guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, sharing insights with such clarity and enthusiasm. He’s also a remarkably talented photographer, capturing beautiful moments while keeping the tour engaging and effortless. Paired with our driver, the two of them worked as a perfect team - professional, coordinated, and clearly experienced in delivering a great guest experience. Their smooth teamwork made the whole journey feel relaxed and efficient. A wonderfully streamlined sightseeing tour, and an easy recommendation for anyone wanting to see the best of Auckland without any hassle!
