Brett was a wonderful guide to the city of Auckland. He made sure we saw everything we could in 5 hours.

Excellent Auckland sights tour

Mark_L, Jan 2023

Great tour, 5 full hour's in a minibus for that personal service. Saw all the sights at our pace which was excellent. So much better value than.the ship organised tour's and no worries getting back to the shop.on time even taking time to show us the best shopping areas for what we wanted and extra suggestions for the few hours we had left. 10/10.from us Cheers Brett

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Hi Mark, many thanks for your review, glad you enjoyed your Express Tour of Auckland, shame we were restricted for time, hope to show you more next time! Loving the 5 stars! 🙏 Kind regards Brett

Excellent brief tour of Auckland

Cody_W, Nov 2022

We had just an afternoon available for a tour and this was an excellent afternoon orientation tour. We saw several places of interest - in Auckland itself and along one of the harbors. The view from Mt. Eden is wonderful. Drop off and pick up was at our hotel. Tour guide Brett is a NZ native who was pleasant, professional, and a wealth of knowledge. We traveled in a van that was comfortable and perfect for a small group tour. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Thank you Cody & Kathy, was a pleasure to show you our wonderful City, glad you both had an excellent afternoon, and recommend my tour. Regards Brett

Highlights of Auckland

Sharon_K, Mar 2020

Brett picked us up on time and showed us the highlight sights of Auckland. He was knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. Was happy for us to take our time looking at all the many sights and adaptable if we wanted to change his itinerary. Highly recommend this tour if you are in Auckland. Many thanks Brett

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Excellent Sharon, glad you enjoyed yourselves, and recommend my tour, many thanks Brett 🙏

A Great Way to Transfer from Cruise to Airport

John_A, Feb 2020

We had Brett provide us with an Auckland city tour. He picked us up from our cruise ship right on time and provided us with an excellent tour of the city prior to dropping us off at the airport. He was a very good driver and I always felt safe. We saw several interesting sites (the gardens in particular). This was a great way for us end our cruise and see the beautiful city of Auckland.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Thank you John, I’m glad you enjoyed your tour and transfer to the airport, hope to see you again one day! 🙏

Gute Organisation

MichaelRalf_T, Jan 2023

Es hat alles perfekt geklappt. Für alle die das erste mal in Auckland sind ist es ein guter Einstieg. Beim nächsten mal würde ich es aber nicht mehr in Anspruch nehmen. Und erspart euch den MT. Eden, ne gute Aussicht auf die Stadt, mehr aber auch nicht. Ein grünes Loch mit viel Wiese drin. Lohnt sich meiner Meinung nach nicht unbedingt.! Ist halt Geschmacksache

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Hi Michael, thanks for your review, I’m sorry to hear you were disappointed with, Mangawhau / Mt Eden a historic landmark, housing one of our 48 volcanic cones in Auckland City. Mangawhau erupting over 28,000 years ago, also a significant place of Maori history, with 360 degree panoramic views of Auckland City, unfortunately the summit was closed for improvements, hope you enjoyed the rest of your tour, with our time restrictions! Regards Brett
