5.00Gives a great half day overview of Auckland, which would be extremely difficult to do as a first time visitor. There were 11 of us, great commentary over a PA system in the van ( the driver could focus on driving), enough bathroom breaks. Everything ran smoothly and as expected. For me there were two highlights 1. MT EDEN & 2. learning about their 100 year old Heritage Homes Thank you, Kamal
Sam was wonderful! Very...

3.00We would have enjoyed this tour more if our guide had adhered to the described outline with more attention paid to time constrains at each stop. Because he did not do this we ran out of time towards the end of the tour and missed out on some things that were more important to us than stops where he spent way too much time without asking us what our priorities were. He took many photos of us with his camera which he then sent to us via text but we prefer to have our pictures taken with our own camera. We finally asked him to please stop. I believe this was well meaning but misguided from our perspective. He was a nice young man but from another country & had not lived in New Zealand long and we felt this was a detriment to foreign visitors who want to understand more about the country they are visiting from the eyes of a local resident. All in all, it was not a bad tour but it could have been improved. Also, please ask your tour guides not to text your clients telling them “be sure and leave me a good review”. We do not like to leave a negative review but we feel we are doing a disservice to others to leave a less than honest review.

5.00The tour was great. We visited the marina and got great photos of the harbour bridge. We stopped at North Head and Mount Eden which gave lovely views of Auckland. The Winter Gardens were a nice stop with beautiful flora. Our guide, David, was great! He provided comprehensive commentary and answered our questions. The tour van was nice - clean & comfortable. He even took photographs and sent them to us.
Beautiful Aukland

5.00This was a great small group tour and overview of Auckland and the surrounding area. Sam was very knowledgeable and had interesting information. He adjusted a bit for our inability to climb hills and we truly appreciated that.
