Harriet was very knowledgeable. We got to see the beach, the waterfall, the tree and the view from mount Eden.

We toured Karekare Falls with Harriet. She was knowledgeable, most gracious and accommodating. We came across a road closure and she immediately detoured and got us there anyway. Beautiful site to see!!!

Thankyou so much to your business! Maddie is an absolutely wonderful guide and very safe driver. I had the best day. I was very impressed by this business that they still held my tour even though I was the only participant. I wasn’t left disappointed because I was the only booking for the day to have it cancelled. It still went ahead. I sincerely appreciate this gesture. Thankyou! Often as a solo traveller we get forgotten about. Maddy went out of her way to ensure that I was having a great time and took heaps of photos for me. I was feeling a little car sick on the way to Piha beach with the windy roads and she was so understanding. I really had a wonderful day and so many fantastic memories! Highly recommend this tour and company.

Maddy (sp?) our tour guide was AMAZING! We had a great time & my husband said of all the excursions we did, including those take on our 12-day NCL cruise, this was by far his favorite. The sights were amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed our time together. Maddy was friendly, knowledgeable and happily answered our questions, of which were many. Haha Our only regret was that it wasn’t longer. 😎 Kudos to you all!

This 6 hour tour around the downtown Auckland area far exceeded my expectations. Our tour guide Harriet is among the best tour guides we have experienced. The tour took us to Piha Beach, Karekare Waterfall, Soljians Estate Winery (where we had a wine tasting and delicious lunch), and Mt. Eden. The tour gave us a great perspective on the beautiful landscapes surrounding the city center region. This tour is highly recommended.

I had the best day. I was a solo female traveller and shared the day with other solo travellers. My highlight was walking on the soft black sand. The guide was also awesome!!
