4.00Enjoyed the volcano beach area the best. It was interesting seeing the black rocks. The WW I tunnel was unique with the huge cannon.

5.00It’s is a genuinely unique tour of Auckland! Jerome was very knowledgeable about the city and its history, and brought us to places we wouldn’t have seen on our own or on a cruise tour. We were a large group of 8 with different physical abilities and Jerome ensured we were aware of the conditions of each place and accommodated those needs, and never rushed us. . We all enjoyed the tour and agreed we would highly recommend it!!!
Jerome is an excellent guide.

5.00My friend and I had a lovely afternoon on this scenic and informative small-group tour with our wonderful guide, Jerome. He was warm, enthusiastic and knowledgable, and did a great job of personalising the tour and answering our many questions thoughtfully. The tour had a relaxed pace and was a great way to see some parts of Auckland that we otherwise wouldn’t have made it to, and to learn about them from a local’s perspective. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend a tour with Jerome! Thank you!

3.00It was a nice way to get around and see different parts of Auckland. However, the guide didn’t use a microphone and kept his window open most of the time so whatever he was saying couldn’t be heard.
Amazing Afternoon Volcano Tour

5.00This tour was a great way to spend the afternoon learning about Auckland’s volcanic history. We got to see volcanic rock and ash up close, explore a fortress built into a volcano, take in some beautiful views, and even enjoy some delicious ice cream. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip!
Perfect chill tour around Devonport

5.00We took the tour on Cyber Monday afternoon, and since it ended up being just the two of us, it turned into a private tour-lucky us! All four stops offered beautiful scenery, and we had plenty of time to take photos and really take in the views. Rome was an excellent guide, knowledgeable, patient, and able to keep the tour engaging the entire time, even after a small mishap at the second stop. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxed, scenic afternoon exploring the stunning sights around Devonport.
Amazing tour!
