This is actually a review of the half-day tour (see below). Well organized. It includes the highlights that you want to see when you have a short time in Auckland. Tour guide Sean was great. Friendly, accommodating, informative. We booked the full day tour, but the only difference was that was to it include a trip to the War Memorial Museum (ticket NOT included). But the vast majority of the museum happened to be closed that day. But the tour company reimbursed the difference (not including the Viator commission). Kudos to them.

Our guide was amazing! She was punctual & courteous and guided as through the most amazing highlights with great knowledge of each one of them. All of it was just breathtakingly beautiful. The history of Mount Eden & One Tree Hill was very interesting. Our final stop was at the Kew Gardens showcasing a Winter Garden, the Temperate House and the Fernery.
We couldn’t have asked for more.
Thank you Yeonju aka Lenna

Had a blast going around with Lenna, our tour guide, who brought us all around Auckland. She was lovely and when the weather turned bad, she did everything she could to make it comfortable for us. Her charm and humour truly got to us both. She was very knowledgeable about the city, shared her own anecdotes and her own experiences with the city. Highly recommended for those who are looking to get to best bits of Auckland in a relatively quick fashion.

Sean was extremely professional, respectful, and courteous. He has a vast knowledge on the history of Auckland and is very excited to share it with his customers. Sean was extremely accommodating and patient. He ensured we enjoyed ourselves and even took pictures of us when asked. Whenever we contacted him prior to the tour, he responded right away.
We definitely recommend this tour with Sean. We suggest/recommend more time is allowed to spend at the Auckland War Museum since two hours are not enough to visit all the halls, even when rushing.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Thank you Karen.
We are happy to hear Sean made you good great day. And thank you for your advice.
We will check and change it.
Thank you
