5.00I really enjoyed my sightseeing tour with Josh as our guide. We saw a huge amount with plenty of time at each stop. Josh was great with answering questions while telling us all the interesting facts about Auckland and its surroundings. I was tight on time and this tour was the perfect full Auckland tour for me. I've done many tours on my travels and I can tell you Josh was one of the most genuine and happy tour guides I've encountered.
