5.00This was a great trip. I highly recommend the full day experience if going to be in Auckland for only a short time as gives a picture of Auckland and it's surroundings. For some travelers, it might even help to decide more in depth adventures to take. This was my second trip with Simon in a week. He is absolutely great!!!! He provided great commentary on the things visited, made certain all in group were engaged. In our group, we decided what places to go/see based on options he noted. Oh yes, although I don't drink coffee, those who do enjoyed the place he selected.
Simon was very professional he took us to a lovely place for lunch.

4.00I loved all the stops. NZ is amazing. The stops were good but I felt the guide rushed us a bit. Felt she had New Years plans and wanted done early. Kept asking us if we wanted to take the ferry home we had to pay far, rather then the hotel drop off, and it was a rainy day so would have got wet on ferry. But other than that was an amazing day and excursion. Loved all the sites, tour, and people. Guide as well got a little political. I love a good historical story but not so much political.
The Best Guide in Auckland - Pearl is Amazing!

5.00We had an incredible experience with Pearl. Even though we were part of a group tour, she made the entire trip feel like a private, VIP experience. From start to finish, Pearl was attentive and flexible, constantly checking in to see what we were interested in rather than just sticking to a rigid script. She even went above and beyond the scheduled time to ensure we didn't miss a thing. A huge highlight was our visit to the Auckland War Memorial Museum, where she acted as our own personal guide, sharing deep insights we never would have found on our own. If you are looking for a guide who is professional, kind, and truly cares about your experience, we highly recommend Pearl.
Amazing experience!

5.00My tour with Matt on 11/19/2025 was great. He was fun, and as a long time resident of the area, very knowledgable. The morning was very personalized, since it was just me. However, when more folks joined in, he helped us all feel comfortable together.
Don’t miss a Cheeky Kiwi tour, don’t miss this tour!

5.00A really nice tour, our Guide Grant was fab. I really enjoyed our stop at the black sand beach, breathtakingly beautiful. Davenport is a cute little town, Mt. Eden wonderful. The place we had lunch at was very cool - it was outdoors with a beach-modern feel to it. This was my 5th Cheeky Kiwi tour in 2 weeks and I have loved them all. I go on another tomorrow! I’m a solo traveler and I’m so grateful for their dedication to making sure I’m enjoying myself. For not canceling tours when not at capacity (I’m traveling during the off-season). I can easily say they have been a big part of how amazing my trip has been.
