Sally_D, Nov 2026

Auckland short tour

We highly recommend this tour, it packs a lot into the available time and Liam the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. He was so keen to share this beautiful city with us and show us as much as he could. He even dropped us right by the Sky Tower afterwards as it was raining!

Private Auckland West Coast Tour Piha Beach and Karekare Falls

Mason_C, Nov 2026

Piha Beach

Amazing! Jonglok was our guide, he was very kind and knowledgeable. We got to see KareKare Falls and Piha beach. My wife and I arrived yesterday, we decided to do this tour last minute as we were nervous to be too tired from jet lag. This was not a tough hike or walk - highly recommend adding this to your early visiting days as it is not intense, but still beauty you can’t find anywhere else.

Auckland experience.

Guide Jerome knows a lot about the surroundings and as a native Kiwi he knows a lot about cultural history as well. He drove us to beautyful, scenic places and even did extra stops because it was a small group. Clear communication and even an earlier pick-up was possible (our cruise ship had an early sail-away that day). Really enjoyed this trip and worth the money!

Great country side experience of New Zealand

ENZOY tours understand great customer service from start to finish. A small half day tour of the black sand PIHI area and waterfall was truly great. My wife and I enjoyed the tour. Ambrose and his wife real understand customer service. There is still many things to experience and do in New Zealand. We will seek them out next time we are going to holiday in North Island. Cheers

A big thank you to John...

A big thank you to John for such an enjoyable tour!

Sampled the Auckland food scene

Laura was very knowledgeable about the food scene, took us to excellent restaurants specializing in a wide range of food (Szechuan pork dumplings, oysters and mussels, Indian cuisine, NZ cheeses, and locally made gelato), and conducted a well-paced tour. She was fun to be with and knew a lot about the city and its history and architecture and was willing to answer any questions we had about NZ.

An Auckland must do

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.

Needless to say Heritage homes and the AUCKLAND BRIDGE. Thank You Talia!! And, thanks for Sem.
