5.00Our party of four enjoyed this tour, whilst in port on a cruise. Meeting / pick up location was in walking distance from where our ship was docked - very convenient and easy to find. The bus was clean and comfortable, with an informative driver. The 3 hour overview tour of Auckland went by so fast - it was brilliant. At the drivers recommendation, we went to a CBD pub for lunch - that too, did not disappoint. I would recommend this tour to those who have a short amount of time in Auckland or those who don't want to pay the high prices of a shore excursion that cruise liners charge.
Fantastic short tour option for Auckland

5.00Great introduction to Auckland with some really good stops. The guide was fantastic and gave lots of options for additional sightseeing in Auckland, outside of this tour. Great option if short on time.
Great tour!
