Best tour guide

Published on Jan, 2025

Mike was one of the best tour guides we have ever had. He was so energetic, enthusiastic and you could really tell that he loved being a tour guide. Beyond his enthusiasm, he was quite knowledgeable about the city of Auckland, New Zealand and the sites that we visited. Would definitely recommend a tour with him.

Comprehensive tour of Auckland

Published on Nov, 2024

This is a comprehensive tour around Auckland whilst also incorporating some short walks. Mike, our guide, was very knowledgeable about Auckland, combining good humour with interesting history and information. The lunch stop was at a picturesque venue and the choice of food/drink to purchase was delicious. The wine tasting was appreciated too. Highly recommend this tour if you have all day available.

Great Introduction to Auckland.

Published on Oct, 2024

Mike brought us around Auckland and showed us the variety of neighborhoods and key points to see, and he was very pleasant and knowledgeable.

A cracking day out

Published on Mar, 2024

Mike was our driver/ guide for this tour. He was informative throughout. The tour took us all around the Auckland area.We were a group of previous strangers but left a group of friends. One member of the group desperately wanted to obtain an All Blacks jersey so we made a diversion to Eden Park. Mike made great efforts to get the shop to be opened especially for us. We all appreciated this. After a visit to a winery Mike chose a beautiful restaurant for our lunch break. The meal was delicious. I would thoroughly recommend this tour should you have a full day to spend in the city. It was worth every penny.

Amazing Tour

Published on Jan, 2024
