Wow! What a wonderful tour of Auckland. Talia gave us a condensed version of Auckland that every visitor should experience. We visited, downtown, Holy Trinity Cathedral, Memorial Museum drive by and grounds, Domain Winter Gardens, Mount Eden, North Eden Gun Placement, North Shore Ward and Westhaven Yacht Marina. Needless to say Heritage homes and the AUCKLAND BRIDGE. Thank You Talia!! And, thanks for Sem.

    Great exposure to the area

    Jean_B, Apr 2026
    Despite some lousy weather and low clouds obstructing the views, Q gave us the best tour we could possibly expect given the circumstances. He even went back when Weather cleared a bit to be sure we saw the best side of this beautiful island.

    Gorgeous Panoramas of Auckland

    Wendy_H, Feb 2026
    A great way to see highlights of Auckland and gorgeous panoramas. Our guide Sam contacted us in advance with specific details for pick up. He was prompt, friendly, courteous and very informative, sharing enough fun facts without info overload. We were blessed with beautiful sunny weather so the overlooks were stunning. Having a comfortable van and only six guests was a big plus! Didn’t get to see the cathedral but the rest made up for it. Only tip would be to bring your own water, would have helped on this warm day especially after the hike up Mt Eden. Overall a wonderful half day tour that started and ended right on time.

    We had a good tour, it was on a Saturday and traffic was very slow. Saw many different areas of Auckland. Unfortunately we had a passenger with a persistent cough, and the Air Condition was set too low, so consequently my partner now has a cold.

    Megan_S, Jan 2026
    We did the Auckland City half-day tour this morning and was lucky enough to enjoy a private car and tour guide with Sam while soaking up the most beautiful views from around the city. From driving over the Auckland Harbour Bridge to Devonport, North Head and Mount Eden (Auckland’s highest volcanic peak) with panoramic city views, finishing at the Winter Gardens Auckland Domain. Sam was incredibly informative, and we enjoyed every moment of the experience.

    A great tour guide of Auckland

    Michael_N, Feb 2025
    I had a great time in discovering Auckland through this tour guide with David. David was a great host and was proactive in taking photos. We had also had a very good and funny group of people, two older ladies from the US and a young gentleman from Hawaii who were all friendly and positive. Highly recommended to anyone looking to explore Auckland without the planning and administration involved.
