Top Auckland Bus Tours - page 16

Loved the whole experience!!! Pick up was easy, the instructions given were easy to follow. The bus driver gave fun facts about the places we drove through, he was fun. We stop off for a potty, coffee, food and souvenirs. The shop right across the street looks like a children’s boutique, but there are great little kick nacks for all ages in there. Our driver when we got to Hobbiton gave us very clear and easy to follow directions. You get to do your souvenir shopping first, but don’t work about lugging your purchases around, our driver came around and collected our stuff and placed it in the bus with our other items. Pick up after the tour was easy, You drive the way back without any stops and drop you off right where you were picked up.

There is a lot of walking, some of it uphill, otherwise, it is such a worthwhile tour, and we were absolutely delighted. We took the tours that included lunch, which said it was at the green dragon, but really it was in a tent next to the green dragon. Nevertheless, the food was excellent and definitely worth the money we spent. As we were there in the shoulder season before they close? Some of the adult T-shirts were no longer available at Coast. We couldn’t find any coasters that didn’t that didn’t have mugs attached to them and we really didn’t need any more mugs. We were very happy with the tour and would recommend it.

Great experience our tour guide Kath was fabulous. She was not only knowledgeable about the food scene in Auckland but also an expert on the history of the city. The food was great. I advise you not to eat a big breakfast. We had a fun and interactive group of seven.

We had a great time with Pippa, Alec and Olivia. The crew was quite friendly and the sailing was top notch. It was a windy day and the boat keeled over and glided effortlessly through the harbour. I would not hesitate to recommend. A true sailing adventure!

With a couple of extra days in Auckland I had asked on FB for recommendations on what to do. A couple of contributors replied that this was an absolute "must do". We duly booked it for the afternoon of our arrival. With glorious sunny weather it seemed we were all set for a memorable afternoon. Unfortunately when we turned up we were advised that due to winds it would not go ahead. Clearly safety was of utmost importance so gold star for that. We were offered the opportunity to receive a refund or to rearrange. Staff at the desk went out of their way to assist us. We were lucky enough to be able to rearrange and for the sail to go ahead. And it was certainly a memorable one for our last day in Auckland I think the yacht can take 30 passengers but i don't think there was a full contingent. The crew were friendly whilst at the same time being professional. Safety procedure were clearly explained to us. The crew explained the history of the yacht to us and engaged with us continually. There is an opportunity to actually help with crewing the yacht and it was certainly tempting to .join in. However we just took the opportunity to sit back and enjoy an exhilarating experience. It might not be the cheapest of experiences but we loved every minute and were so glad we did it.

This is an amazing trip! Our driver gave us lots of history and information on the drive to the Hopperton movie set. Our driver, Andy, was very personable and knowledgeable. We felt very safe in his care, and the entire day ran on schedule. Once we were there, the sat is magical! It was better than we expected… I highly recommend it. Then we went onto the Waitomo worm caves, which were also amazing. You’re not allowed to take pictures inside, unfortunately. I would highly recommend this excursion, it’s well worth the money.

This was an excellent tour of Auckland. We were very comfortable in a Mercedes Van and our guide, Danny, was very knowledgeable about the area. We really enjoyed his commentary. We had taken a previous half-day tour that went to a few of the same spots, but Danny showed us more at those sights that we had missed on our previous tour. We stopped at a lovely restaurant where we purchased wonderful, tasty dishes and enjoyed a beautiful view. It was truly an enjoyable day.

Hobbiton is one of my dreamed places to visit. Finally I visited it. These Hobbits houses and their gardens, and Hobbiton overall landscapes are better than I imagined. Visiting the inside of a Hobbit house was a huge bonus, every room of that house was fully furnished with cute furnitures and decorations. The entire 2 hours Hobbiton tour were filled with fun!
