3.00Easy way to see central Auckland. Good distinct commentary, well pronounced Maori ,but not enough Maori historic content. My tall family were rather cramped in the van and had difficulty seeing out the windows because of their height. A quick easy way to get an overall view of different aspects and attractions in the city. The driver was very helpful and accommodationg as well as being an excellent host and driver.
Best way to discover the city!

5.00The tour was excellent, with clear and interesting information in my language (Spanish). It covered key points of interest in downtown Auckland in just under an hour and a half, allowing for better planning of more specific visits to the city's various attractions after the tour. The private vehicle was unmatched in comfort compared to other tours, with no delays. The driver was very friendly, although the audio commentary really made it possible to complete the trip without needing that much interaction with him.
High level tour of Auckland enable us to see the key highlights of the city.

5.00Booked a tour today after getting off cruise ship. Had intended to walk everywhere but weather was not so good. Met a really lovely young man just the other side of the road from cruise ship. He wasn’t pushy just explained the trip. Half an hour later we were in the car and taken around the city. Our driver was brilliant. Can’t remember his name but he is from India near Mumbai. We got a real sense of the town. The only downside was the continuous road works. If we’d been in a bus it would have been much worse. Thank you. We loved it.
Rethink this tour

2.00Largely impersonal as the commentary was not done by the driver, but was an audio. Not worth the money.
Value for money

5.00My friends and I had an incredible time exploring Auckland with GoGuided! We visited amazing spots like the lively Ponsonby Markets and the stunning Bungee views which we encountered when passing under the sky tower, all while learning about the city's rich history. The tour was the perfect mix of culture, sightseeing, and fun, and our smart audio guide made the experience even better by providing the most value for our money. A big thank you to GoGuided for an unforgettable ride which is the modern way of going around the city.
