Really enjoyed the Auckland Discovery tour with Chris. A lovely sense of Auckland city with emphasis on the waterfront suburbs, as well as a highlight of Mt Eden with 260 views.

John was our guide and he was excellent. We spent 4 hours toying the city, the north shore and Mount Eden. John was excellent, knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. I will ask for him again the next time we visit.

Although Nancy our tour guide was new to the tour she was very knowledgeable and made the whole experience enjoyable. Rami was an excellent driver coping with the many road closures on the day without spoiling our tour.

We loved our tour with John! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and prepared, and we got to see and do a lot in just a few hours. He was especially accommodating in making the tour fun for my 12yo daughter and me, and we really enjoyed learning and seeing so much. Thank you for taking your Labor Day to show us around, John!
Good pace, awesome guide!

We used Auckland and Beyond for three days after completing our Sydney to Auckland cruise. Our guide was Warren who was a delight to travel with. He is knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He showed us both the city and points beyond, including a fun and educational day on the farm. We covered much ground, saw a lot of sights and had great meals at their recommended restaurants.
