5.00Ben was a great driver and tour guide. The tour was exactly as advertised, plus he took us to a couple of extra scenic locations. We particularly enjoyed the west side of Auckland (waterfall and Piha beach). Great day. Thank you Ben.
Great day tour!

5.00Ben was a very thoughtful and considerate tour guide. His personally added touches (with his trunkful of drinks and snacks!) plus his willingness to add in an extra stop or two made the day delightful. It gave us a wonderful overview of Auckland and the surrounding areas. He took great photos of us and the stunning scenery and promptly sent them following the tour.
Journey to the Black Sands of Piha

5.00A full day of seeing so many amazing sites: the largest marina in the southern hemisphere, the panoramic views from the beautiful Mt Eden (there is a fairly strenuous walk to the top, but it’s worth it if you can do it!), KareKare falls and more, but the long trek to Piha Beach and the soft silky and sparkling black sands is something like you’ve never seen. A great way to see some great sites outside of Auckland City. Read less
Saw a lot in 1 day, that could not be seen on a large group or hop on hop off tour

4.00This is a great way to see some of the typical Auckland sights (Eden), but also see beautiful gardens (about 5 kind in 1 complex), get out of town and see a harbor white sand beach, also have lunch in a cute town overlooking the beach, see a visitor center about the indigenous ppl that had beautiful forests, we stopped to also see a beautiful waterfall and also saw a black surfing sand beach. We also received some information about the area , though that was not the ficus, as our guide has only lived in the area 2 years. Overall saw a lot in 1 day.

5.00Damian is a wonderful guide with good knowledge of the Auckland area. We went off-script a few times to accommodate desires we had for a museum and waterfall. Also he is a good driver and we felt safe on some tight and winding roads through the rainforest. The trip to Piha beach is spectacular as is the beach itself with its black sand.
