    It was good to have a recorder to listen to while pulling up to the various stops. The driver was engaged but took alot of personal calls while on the trip.

    This tour was a good overview of Auckland. Our tour guide Jim was knowledgeable. There was some confusion over the hotel pickup point, but Jim gave us a call. There were some issues with getting to the Botanical Gardens due to a concert in the park so lots of roads were closed, but very much out of the hands of the tour group. They did make up for this extending the tour so we didn't miss out on anything. We saw some stunning scenery, this tour is recommended!
