Thank you Maddie for a wonderful day! The views from Mt Eden were amazing, Piha Beach was gorgeous, the Karekare waterfall and the forest leading to it felt magical and the wines at the winetasting were good! Maddie had alot of facts and was a relaxed and fun tour guide. She kindly offered to take everyone's picture in certain spots, thanks for that! I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone popping into Auckland! Amazing, thanks again Maddie!

We highly recommend this tour. The group size is just the right size to have personalized attention throughout the day. The length of the tour is perfect allowing you to see a few highlights of Auckland outside of the city center. The day is well planned to experience highlights of the area while avoiding crowds. We look forward to booking other tours through this tour company again.

It was just underwhelming. The beach was the best part.

Harriet was absolutely amazing and imparted her knowledge of the area. We had just arrived in New Zealand and appreciated her choice of New Zealand must eats (Steak and Cheese pies, feijoa or feijoa flavored drinks, etc.) Very friendly and great tour.
