What To Expect
Ferry Building
Our main pick up point is alongside the Ferry Building on Queens Wharf. There's a pick-up & drop off area, that's the spot. Alternatively, we offer 4 central pick-up locations. Let us know where you are staying and we will advise the closest pick-up point. This is a very comprehensive tour and we pack a lot into the 3.5 to 4 hours. You will get a real feel for Auckland. It's geography, history, sights, and our way of life. This tour is family run, and the commentary is detailed, full of insights from a local perspective and delivered with humor.
Viaduct Harbour
We drive along the downtown waterfront area, past the Viaduct Harbour, which is one of Auckland top "going out" spots. Great selection of restaurants and bars. Lots of boats, and home to the America's Cup yachts, and Whale & Dolphin watching boats

5.00Our driver and tour guide Paul was the best. He gave detailed New Zealand history as well as the geography of the sites we are visiting. He is a great driver and good with time control. He took care of everyone enthusiastically. Can’t ask for anything more. One little thing is the itinerary sequence is not quite the same as what’s on the website.
