Very much enjoyed the full day tour of Auckland. Was in NZ for a hunting trip but stayed in Auckland for a couple days prior to the hunt. The tour took us to a variety of unique sites around Auckland. While most tours are entertaining and educational it’s often the tour guide that makes it fun. This was the case with our guide “Mikey Bucket”. He was funny quick witted while extremely knowledgeable along the way. My daughter and I had a great time with him for certain. His pick up and drop off at the hotel were both timely. Kudos to your company for having him on your staff.

Our guide was great. Knowledgeable on many subjects, as well as Auckland. Only 4 of us on this day trip so was a very relaxed/friendly day out, as well as seeing the best views of Auckland. Recommend it

Good company, they messaged us the night before with pick up time and the drivers name, Denny.
Denny arrived on time and introduced us to the other passengers.
He explained the day s outline and off we went for a terrific educational gently paced tour of Auckland and surrounding areas.
Den was an experienced local and could answer all questions.
The winery tasting, lunch and afternoon ice cream were all first class .
A good day out.
Thanks Greg and Jill

This was an excellent way to see a lot of Auckland in one jam-packed day! Mike was an awesome tour guide, driver and human being! And a lot of fun, too😁. His energy and enthusiasm was contagious! We had a small group, which was great. We had a chance to chat and get to know something about our traveling companions. We got lots of photo ops and Mike played photographer, too! We saw highlights of Auckland and a lot of the area around the city. I would highly recommend this tour!!!

Great way to see the area without walking, much. Wine tasking was a hit with my husband who bought a couple of bottles to take home. Greg, our tour guide was very accommodating and knowledgeable. The fish and chips I chose for lunch was to die for and the special trip to get gelato for desert make it a perfect meal. Thank you Greg for providing a memorable day trip.

Mike did a wonderful job showing us all the beautiful spots in Auckland. Our group of 8 friends saw an extinct volcano with great views of the city, did wine tasting, had a great lunch on a picturesque river and had lots of laughs with Mike. Thanks for a great day!

Wow, what a fabulous tour. We weren't too sure how it would go as i was travelling with my Mum who isn't well atm. Mike did everything in his power to ensure we saw everything we could and Mum was catered for with her mobility issues.

Thank you Mike, it was a highlight of our trip!

Comprehensive tour of Auckland. It covered a lot of ground - literally. Mike's (our tour guide extraordinaire) knowledge of the area was impressive. His sense of humour and concern for his guests made the tour memorable.

Our guide, Dave, was great. Very personable & knowledgeable. He gave us a great overview of Auckland, which was wonderful, especially as our time in the city was limited
