  Great time on this bus and because it’s summer atm there was an extended route The tour bot was loud and clear…. Quite rare for a hop on and off bus ! Rating down slightly as we had to wait more than the stated 30 minutes and there’s no app to enable live tracking

• Too long a time scale between buses and comms system too quiet.

  Although these are a great way to see cities, and this wan no exception, this one we thought lacking for the reasons I’ve mentioned - need to run every 20 mins as a min, not 30 min. One bus failed to turn up, with two then at the same time, leaving us waiting 40 mins - which is so annoying as the whole service only runs for 7hrs! Blue route was disappointing, with few stops and a general lack of opportunities to see things (Eden Park) and the same bus changing from Red to Blue and back again (at the War Museum) was annoying, meaning you have to get off the Red and then wait for the next bus, if you just want to do the Red route. The staff at stops weren’t very helpful, so all a little shambolic. I wouldn’t say don’t do this, but you should bear this in mind if you’re intending to plan an eventful day - as you may fail to achieve it all with the service they offer.

  Great way toget a overview of Auckland. Be prepared for a hike to the top of Mr. Eden. I forget the Maori name. The penguins at Kelly Tarltons were cool. If you plan it right you won't have to climb the hills back to your hotel.

  Easy to redeem voucher at one of two places in the city. Great way to get around and learn about a new city.

• City Tour …… absolute waste of money and time.

  We had booked this tour from a list which was provided from our cruise. We were escorted to our bus given a map a small talk on where the bus would go and how the routes changed without getting of the bus. From that point this tour was absolute rubbish. We have travelled OS many times and always do the hop on hop off bus tour to see the sights and decide which particular stops we would get off at. There was no commentary. The bus driver didn’t stop at all the stops and changed routes without any notice. It was an absolute waste of time and money and I would not recommend this tour to anyone. Get on the local bus or uber to where you want to go. We learnt absolutely nothing about Auckland and its history. Extremely disappointing. DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY

  We took the yellow line was disappointed with the majority of the stops. The narration was lackluster at best, very little details compared with other cities we’ve visited and rode on hop on hop off. On one bus the sound was skipping a lot of the narration and making loud cracking sounds. No one onboard could use the system, we did inform the driver.

• Great way to get oriented to the highlights of Auckland

  We always do a Hop on Hop off tour of every major city we visit. Our experience here in Auckland was of the high standard we’ve come to expect of this type of experience. The announcement s were over a speaker system so no need to wear earphones so long as you understand English.
