5.00We had an amazing time on Dorothy (the buses name!) Our guide Sandy was amazing and it was so nice to have live commentary! We had done another bus tour the day before with recorded commentary and it was so lacking!
Amazing fun informative not to be missed

5.00What a fabulous trip! We loved everything about this amazing 90 minute tour of Aukland. Dorothy is a beauty and has been restored without taking away from her authenticity. Dales enthusiasm for her is infectious! As Brits we particularly wanted to ride a 1964 double decker but anyone would enjoy this trip. Sandy chatted away about the areas we were seeing in her wonderful lively way. We saw a huge amount and learned so much about the city past and present. Dale explained this was a new project for him, I am certain it can only be a great success. Best £30 we spent in Aukland, thank you all!
