Amazing Day on the West Coast!

5.00We had a wonderful day touring the West Coast with Tom. He had great communication before we met up for the tour and was extremely easy to work with. He picked us up in his very clean and comfy car, even providing some water and snacks. Tom customized the tour to fit in what we wanted to see, and he shared a lot of great info about New Zealand with us. The views were breathtaking and you see so much of the beautiful West Coast of the island. I highly recommend this tour!

5.00We had an amazing experience with Tom! He was incredibly genuine, knowledgeable, and personable, and he made our group feel comfortable from the moment we started the tour. As a small group of girls, we especially appreciated how safe and relaxed the whole experience felt. Tom was very accommodating and thoughtful he even provided snacks along the way. The views he took us to were absolutely incredible and truly some must-see spots around Auckland. His driving was very safe and the tour felt private and personalized. We would highly recommend booking with him!

5.00We are an older couple and while mobile, we no longer have the mobility of our youth. Our guide was flexible and patient with our limitations. The views of New Zealand included in his tour were stunning and not to be missed. We thoroughly enjoyed spending the afternoon with him.
