Sean was our tour guide of both our first and last day in Auckland. We were a group of 8 female marathon runners from the US, and this was our first time to visit NZ. Sean was very knowledgeable , friendly and efficient! He explained and showed us many beautiful places. The winery was very beautiful and they served delicious dinner, paired with excellent wines. We sampled a variety of different wines and were very impressed. You can also buy gifts there. The thermal pool soothed our tired legs from having running the race the day before. Sean took us to see the black sand beach and the beautiful sunset. He even took us to a gelato place which was still open by 9 pm so we could enjoy the icecream! We were very happy with his exceptional guide, and would recommend his company wholeheartedly! Thank you so much, Sean!👍

Sean was one of the most accommodating guides you can ask for. He did everything humanly possible for us to get the most out of this tour. When we decided to pass on an after dinner thermal bath he suggested we take the ferry back to the city (he met us there to take us back to our hotel).

The ride is really beautiful. The stop for wine tasting and small dinner is simple but friendly. The sunset is a little spoiled by the clouds...but the view is beautiful. The top is at the end, the thermal bath, really good, very relaxing...I recommend this tour. Our guide Sean and his assistant are really friendly, very helpful. Thank you very much.

Being a solo traveler, finding a tour company who will run a tour, even if you are the only person booked, is impossible. Finding someone who immediately puts you at ease, describes Sean completely. From the moment I buckled-up my seatbelt, I felt like I was with a friend who was showing me around his city. As for the Sunset tour itself? Unique, well-thought out, relaxing, toured places other tour companies ignore, and showed me a different side of the Auckland area away from the tourist "hot spots". I will go on this tour again if I ever get back to Auckland.

Spectacular day with Sean. Pools were relaxing and sunset was gorgeous. Relaxing drive with a very small group hitting multiple spots. Highly recommend.

Really fun and relaxing experience. The pools were great, clean changing area and bathrooms too. Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate and I missed the sunset on my tour but the beach was still a gorgeous sight.

Sean was a great guide! So knowledge about New Zealand and so nice! The geothermal pools were so relaxing. It sadly rained very hard when we went on the tour, so we were unable to see the sunset but Sean made sure we still had an amazing time! Will definitely do again the next time I’m in Auckland 😀

Sean was an absolute gem! So kind and very knowledgeable on Auckland history. It is a private tour which I appreciated, as sometimes with a lot of people it can be overwhelming. This tour is great to do alone or with close friends and family. The thermal pools really did put the icing on top of the cake, the waters were so relaxing. He is also a great photographer haha I got really great pictures! 10/10 would recommend

This was a most pleasant excursion. The tour guide, Sean, whose experience in hospitality is evident, was a fabulous host. He was knowledgeable and courteous. Although the weather prevented full view of a sunset, the tour, which I re-baptised a twilight tour, is a must! It was a smooth drive in a very comfortable vehicle to experience breathtaking views and super relaxing private moment enjoying the hot springs. I only wish my hubby had been with me! I highly recommend this trip to couples, family or for a girls trip away! I would qualify it as child-friendly also. For a touch of luxury, bring a bottle of sparkly to enjoy on the beach! 😝
