Sharma was an excellent tour guide. We completed everything on the itinerary at a great pace and never felt rushed. As a solo traveler Sharma took every opportunity to take photos of me in all of the perfect sites we saw to assure I would wonderful memories to take back home with me. There were so many great places that I got to see that I would have never had a chance to see on my own.

This is a great tour to get the highlights of Auckland's sites. The tour operator was VERY accommodating to adjust the timings of the tour so that we were able to be picked up right from the cruise terminal port... with our luggage... as soon as we disembarked and have our tour of the city! Then we were able to be dropped off at our accommodations in Auckland.
Thank you Sharma!

Our guide Song provided a wonderful afternoon experiencing Auckland! We visited the important areas and especially enjoyed the true "high points" of the city: Mt. Eden, One Tree Hill, Mission Bay, Achilles Point, Savage Memorial Park and a rose garden!
Great driver, excellent commentary and a good person translated into a memorable experience!

Pamela_D, Jan 2024
The driver/guide was not very experienced and several times missed turns or did not go when the light turned green. He seemed confused on how to get to the tour stops. He didn't have the amount of knowledge about the tour stops that I would expect from a tour guide. Since there were only 2 of us on the tour, he did drop us off at a location other than our pick up location, but for what this this 4 hour tour cost, we did not get our money's worth.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Sorry for the inconvenient situation you had. I will teach him more on this. Thanks for your feedback
PENNYL_B, Jan 2024
Auckland is a beautiful city and we saw it from several angles. We took an afternoon tour because of time. Our guide, Sung, was great. She took us where we wanted, but some of it was a lot the same. She had printed a summary of some of the information about places in the area, which was nice. She was very good but sometimes a little bit hard to understand. I Asher to spell things when I didn’t understand. She was from Korea. The traffic was bad in certain areas, but she knew several short cuts that helped. I would give her 5 stars, but the tour needed a little more variety and information.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Thanks for the good review for us, and good advise of our tour. Will develop our tours in soonest time.

Unfortunately, due to a death in the family, I was unable to go. My husband had the nicest things to say about Sharma. He was not only a great tour guide but very caring about my situation. He even offered help with flights. Great guy!
Response from Host, Jan 2024
It was shock to me as well. I hoped the funeral went well.
