5.00We had an amazing experience on the Auckland City Guided Tour. The tour was very well organised and covered all the major highlights of the city, including the Sky Tower, Auckland Harbour, Mount Eden, and beautiful waterfront areas. The guide was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and explained the history, culture, and local stories of Auckland in a very engaging way. We learned a lot about Māori heritage, volcanic mountains, and how Auckland developed into the vibrant city it is today. The pace of the tour was perfect, with enough time to take photos, enjoy the views, and ask questions. The guide was very accommodating and made sure everyone felt comfortable and included. This tour is perfect for first-time visitors as well as those who want a deeper understanding of Auckland. I would definitely recommend this guided tour to anyone visiting the city. Great value for money and a truly memorable experience!
