Great tour with two lines during the summer time. The price is great and it’s very convenient to be able to hop on and off when you find something you’re interested in seeing. Brings you to the big must-sees in Auckland. Perfect for families or groups, and for people only in auckland for a few days. One of the first stops is right in downtown Auckland where most people stay which was very convenient. Great tour, my family and I loved it!

The bus drivers were awesome. Got us where we needed to. Very polite and respectful. We did the red loop first, then went to zoo on the blue and back again. Great experience

Good locations all worth doing didn't get to do everything since we were told buses would be every half hour but most did take around a hour or more

The 48-hour ticket was a great way to enjoy Auckland without being rushed. The starting area was conveniently located next to the Sky Tower.
