Auckland scenic tour

Published on Feb, 2025

A fantastic snapshot of the Auckland area, Michael’s local and national knowledge was exceptional even down to his bird impression!! which actually worked. Consideration was given to our disabled daughter which allowed us and her to participate in the Mt Eden walk. Fantastic day with first class guide

Great day tour of Auckland

Published on Feb, 2025

Our tour guide Danny picked us up in a yellow Mercedes sprinter van at the cruise port after we got off our ship (around 8:30a). The 4 of us were able to store all our luggage for the day while we toured around for almost 8 hours which was a huge plus as we had a plane to catch at around 8pm the same day. Danny was very knowledgeable and informative as we toured around Auckland. We saw a lot and learned a bit about history, the area, etc. It was a great day! We stopped at various picturesque lookout points including a decent trek up Mt Eden, a stop at the Winter Garden (beautiful!) , and other places along the way. We also had wine tasting at a winery and a nice lunch (we paid for lunch) at The Riverhead (est in 1857). Coming back into downtown, we went along the harbor and oogled at some very large yachts. At the end of the tour we were dropped off in town and we called an uber to take us to the airport (uber was around $50 US with tip and took about 45 mins).

Very informative and...
