We viewed the botanical winter garden, various volcanic formations, beaches, had a wine tasting, and stopped for ice cream. Very enjoyable experience and a great way to get to know the city.

5.00Mike gave us our own personal tour of Auckland after a second couple canceled. We enjoyed the extensive all day tour of many of Auckland's beautiful beaches, historic houses, volcanoes, marinas and country around the city. Mike's knowledge of the city and history gave us a great start to visit many sites throughout New Zealand.

5.00We had one day in Auckland on our cruise and we feel this tour absolutely made the most of it! We couldn't believe how much was packed in. We really appreciated having a local guide, Mike, who has spent his life in the region, could provide tons of interesting information and history, and he was also considerate of all guests re any mobility challenges. While hitting the main spots, he also took us to some great locations with no one at them for photos etc. The vehicle was also extremely comfortable and modern with usb ports. And the restaurant for lunch was great - highly recommend the fish & chips!

5.00A great tour with Danny around Auckland and its surrounds. We had a beautifully sunny winter's day and Danny drove assertively but safely to get us through city traffic, which we really appreciated. Danny gave informative introductions to the sights and was super friendlyn and personable. We also went on the Hobbiton and Waitomo Caves with this company and would 100% recommend them.
