    Just what we wanted! We really saw Auckland!

    Donna_E, Feb 2026
    Silva was terrific. Knowledgeable, friendly, informative, talkative, great driver on those windy, narrow roads heading over to Piha and Karekare thru the mountains, in his cute little white 4-dr.Tesla with glass roof to see things above us as well. Gave us all the time we wanted or needed in each place. Covered so many memorable and lovely sites both outside and inside Auckland and City Centre. Was great to inform areas to avoid on our massive itinerary list, assisted pick up locations when we'd walked all the way up to the top of One Tree Hill, and feet were begging for mercy, even helped us transfer our bags from 1 hotel to our next, and drove us thru McDonald's on way out of town for quick breakfast. Just a terrific private, individualized tour. Just what we needed to see Auckland. Thanks Silva.

    Great tour with Silva!

    Great guide/driver Silva. Responsive communicator. VERY nice four door comfortable Tesla with plenty of leg room. Did all the sights in the description. Silva offered a lot of flexibikty very much UNLIKE the overpriced cruise ship excursions on crowded vans or busses. Pick up at the Auckland pier worked well. ( This is where Silva’s close communication really kicked in. ). After a wonderful tour we were dropped back off at the pier a bit tired but happy about what we saw especially PIHA Beach. I can’t end this review with that informing the reader this: being a bit of a scatterbrained it’s no surprise that I left my cell phone in the car. Without getting into the details, we were able to connect with Silva And arrange for the return of the phone. Silva totally went out of his way to get my phone back. Not every tour guide would’ve been so speciall! This tour operation with Silva is highly recommended!

    the best private guide and driver for auckland, west coast and beyond

    highly knowledgeable, earnest and flexible private guide perfect for a high energy day packed with sites, hikes, and encouragement even as we flagged a bit late in the day. Covered astonishing amount of the west coast scenery, found us a charming lunch spot, and the auckland spots as well. cannot imagine a better day and seeing so much in one day especially on a public holiday required a private car and driver -- and he is the best.

    Short of time

    We had a dedicated driver to take us to all the main points to admire the beautiful landscape and ocean views. We stopped when needed and had lunch in a very cute small town

    Great guide and tour

    Silva was a very knowledgeable guide and driver! He altered the itinerary for us to focus on what interested us the most. Excellent job!

    A superstar guide

    Our guide was the best. In all our travels he was by far our best guide. Very flexible, knowledgeable, accommodating. I'm only sorry we had only1 day to see Auckland. I wish I could give him 10 🌟 🤩.

    Silva made the best of...

    Silva made the best of our time here in Auckland, even though it was a rainy day. He took us to some really nice spots, and was very accommodating in general. He even had water and raincoats for us in the car! This is a great way to explore the area with a kind, knowledgeable person. I would do this again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Auckland!

    Perfect for covering many places in a short amount of time

    Mr. Silva is a great guide who knows all the spots that allow you to experience Auckland in a day with the added bonus of it being personalized to your needs. This is probably the only tour you need to get a good feel for Auckland, and especially if you’re short on time!
