Terrific tour on a rainy day in Auckland

Thomas_B, Apr 2026

Israel was kind, interesting and fun. He made the most out of a bad weather day. I enjoyed the Kauri reserve the most and could have spent much more time there. Israel allotted sufficient and appropriate amounts of time at each stop. Definitely recommend this tour.

Tour of Aukland was GREAT!!!

Instead of 8 people, we had private tour (2 people) with David. He was very flexible, customizing the tour to what we wanted to experience.

Our tour guide was amazing! She was so friendly, polite, and knowledgeable. We could not have asked for better hospitality. We were in New Zealand for a very short time and this tour was a great way to experience Auckland.

Israel was a lovely guide, nothing too much trouble for him. He was very friendly and informative, knowledgeable about the places we visited. We were the only people on the tour so had his undivided attention which made it feel quite special 😊

Majda_I, Apr 2025

Our tour guide Israel is a nice guy, very knowledgeable about Auckland & the area. friendly & accommodating. his smaller group means a) very comfortable minivan, and b) more personalized tour. My husband & I had a great tour & introduction to Auckland.

JOHN_M, Feb 2025

Great tour of Auckland! Our tour guide ISRAEL shared lots of information, local insights and was great company to spend time with - a very, very personable chap. We got to experience a neighbourhood restaurant for lunch which had great Korean food, recommend by ISRAEL. (We also had the privilege to share the tour with Ros and David who made it great fun!) I would highly recommend this tour and PLEASE request ISRAEL (who is also a pastor in his other job!) Thank you ISRAEL for a great insight into Auckland.
