Top Auckland City Tours - page 4

Sean was so great! He was very knowledgeable about the city and gave so many interesting facts and answered all the questions. The tour hit spots I never heard about along with mt Eden which is probably on everyone’s list. Another great thing about this tour is that we could drive to the top of mt. Eden so we didn’t have to walk up any of the hills. Overall great day out and would recommend to anyone coming to Aukland!

It's important to say we are not welded on fans of the Rings or Hobbits and on the day we went the rain bucketed down. What effect did all that have? None. What a wonderful day we had from the moment we were picked up by Nelson, to the far too excellent bakery we stopped at on the way, to the really excellent visit to the caverns and glow worms of Waitomo with Bubba, to the crowning glory of the visit to Hobbiton. This was an exceptional experience and we haven't stopped boring people with our memories and recommendations since. If you do nothing else in NZ make sure you find time for this PRECIOUS day. And don't worry about the early morning start you can sleep on the bus if you must. Thanks to everyone involved in making this a wonderful journey.

It was a great 12 hour tour that even if you’re not a fan of the movie trilogy, you will definitely be pleased and entertained. Our driver Simon was an excellent tour guide who was courteous, friendly, and knowledgeable about New Zealand’s history and sites. He drove us through wonderful countryside settings that gave you a contrast between Auckland city sites and what is in the area just a few hours outside of the city. The lunch items that you can choose from are plentiful and delicious. He even managed to work in a morning coffee break that you could also pick up coffee, a danish or breakfast sandwich on the drive to Hobbiton. The only thing to be aware of that when you tour the glow worm caves after lunch, is that they do not allow photography or videotaping. The approximately 50 minute tour of the caves and boat ride out of the caves is very informative about the life of a glow worm and how the caves came to be discovered and created. Still worth the price of the ticket. Simon also provided countryside driving on the way back to Auckland and we managed to stop for refreshments of fine New Zealand homemade ice cream. I would say this is well worth your consideration and Cheeky Kiwi is first class in their operation. On my return trip to New Zealand I will definitely be booking tours through them.
