We booked this tour because we had been to Auckland several times before and wanted to see something different. Sam did not disappoint. He contacted us the day before to confirm the meeting point. After picking us up, he took us to the various stops. At each stop he provided interesting background information and took pictures which he sent to us at the end of the tour. At each stop, he knew the best picture spots to best capture the experience. He noticed my husband was having some mobility issues, so offered to customize the tour to accommodate him. He was also very good about minimizing the amount of walking he had to do. We ended the day at Mission Bay with ice cream from Movenpick. What a wonderful way to end the day!

I only had a short time in Auckland and this half-day tour was the perfect way to experience the city’s highlights without feeling rushed. The small group size made it feel more personal, and our guide (Sam) was excellent—knowledgeable, friendly, and full of interesting local insights and history that added real depth to the experience. Perfect for first-time visitors who want a solid overview of Auckland’s geography, history, and lifestyle. Highly recommend it if you're short on time but want to get a real feel for the city.

I had an amazing time on this afternoon's tour! Despite being the only attendee, they still went ahead with the tour, and it was totally worth it. We saw all the iconic spots in the city, including the Harbour Bridge, Mount Eden, Winter Garden Auckland Domain, Cornwall Park, and Mission Bay. Our tour guide, Sam, was super friendly and took plenty of photos for me. I highly recommend this tour – it was fantastic!

I took the Auckland Half Day Tour, and it was an absolute highlight of my trip! Sam was super knowledgeable, sharing fun facts about the city’s history and culture that brought every stop to life. We hit all the must-see urban spots, and the pace was perfect—not too rushed but packed with sights. The small group size made it feel personal, and the views from the lookout points were stunning.

This half-day tour was a fantastic way to see Auckland’s urban gems in a short time. The itinerary covered a lot of ground, from vibrant neighborhoods to iconic landmarks, and Sam was friendly and engaging. My only small gripe was that one stop felt a bit rushed, but overall, it was well-planned and enjoyable. If you’re short on time but want to see the city’s highlights, this tour is a solid choice!

Sam took me to iconic places in Auckland. A day tour was well balanced and giving a taste of the city highlights along with some beautiful spots just outside of the CBD. Sam told me interesting stories about places and history about the city, very knowledgeable and humourous 😉 highly recommended for the first time visitor, worth the time and money!

Sam was a very knowledge, fun and personable guide today for a half day of Auckland highlights. From pickup and drop off at the hotel, a drive around Auckland, A Mt. Eden hike to the top, marina and Harbor view bridge, mission bay beach and Auckland museum & Flower gardens. Sam also provided admission to the museum as well as ice cream later in the afternoon. Very enjoyable tour. Would highly recommend the tour and Sam as your guide. He also takes excellent photos during the day and shares them with you.

Sam Lee collected us from our hotel at the designated time in his Toyota Prius. He proceeded to take us to many of Auchlands sites. During our tour he informed us of the relevant history of Auckland.
