Great Auckland Tour

Robert_S, Mar 2026
We were returning on a cruise and had a few hours to kill before our flights home. Keith tailored a nice 3 hour visit, held onto our luggage and dropped us at the airport. Had some surprises for us — we are sailors and got to stop at the Royal New Zealand Yacht Club and see the America’s Cup. Great morning, Keith ver conversant in local history and the Auckland area.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Hi Robert. Glad I could be of service and a pleasure to please. Keith.

Wonderful Auckland Tour

Betty_A, Mar 2026
We covered a lot of areas, stopped different areas for pictures and get a great look! Enjoyed the winter gardens. Great job Rene and thanks for the restaurant suggestion, loved the mussels!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thanks Betty. On behalf of Rene, it's how pleasure to please. Cheers Keith.

Great start in Auckland

Shawn_B, Jan 2026
Keith was very nice. He showed us all around Auckland at a leisurely pace as we had just come off a 15 hour flight. The city is really beautiful and this was just right for us. We were able to walk around some areas for a bit and get our bodies working again after sitting for so long on airplane. The high viewpoints around the old battlements were stunning. He recommended a great restaurant for us for lunch too. Very nice morning to start out vacation.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thankyou. My pleasure to please.

Enjoyable tour of Auckland NZ!

Julie_D, Jul 2025
This was a great way to spend some time in Auckland. Keith our guide was so knowledgeable about the city and the country in general. Keith was on time and personable and he took us to so many cool places we would have never thought to go, it was so worthwhile and enjoyable. Highly recommend taking the tour with Keith.

Really enjoyed this tour

Jackie_G, Apr 2025
This was a wonderful experience. Keith was a gracious host, taking us exactly where we wanted to go and providing interesting commentary as we drove along. We appreciated his flexibility. HIs vehicle was clean and his driving appropriate to the conditions. We got to see so much more on this private tour than we ever would have seen on a big bus tour. We would totally recommend this experience!

Response from Host, May 2025

Thanks Jackie. My pleasure to please. Keith.

Sherry_R, Mar 2025
Beautiful day to learn more about a beautiful city. Keith took us to see the highlights, and provided opportunities to walk on the beach, and explore many sights like the Wintergarden and Cornwall park. Learned about native plants and birds too. His coach is very comfortable and he is very hospitable.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Thanks Sherry. Glad to please. Regards Keith.

My first visit to Auckland

Terry_A, Dec 2024
We traveled outside downtown Auckland to the countryside. We went to two areas near the mountains and saw a wide variety of sites. We went to two Black Sand beaches and a couple of small villages. Upon our return to Auckland, we surveyed the sights that we would see the next day. Downtown Auckland was very interesting and included the SKY Tower and a gambling casino.The crowds at the Sky Tower were 30+ minutes and were somewhat boring as you wait to go up to the Tower. However, once you go up to the Tower you get a great view of Auckland.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thankyou Terry. Our pleasure to please. Regards Keith.

Amazing and so much fun!

Elissa_B, Nov 2024
Kris is one of the best tour guides we've ever met. He was incredibly friendly and as the tour progressed, we found out had wonderful sense of humor. Chris's knowledge of the area, including the secret spots to get the best pictures, is second to none. He told fascinating stories about a history of Auckland and also as I said, before peppered in a lot of humor into the tour, we had the best time. My only regret was that the tour was only 4 hours long. So as I said, Kris when we're next in town, we're taking you to lunch!

Response from Host, Nov 2024

On behalf Of Kris thankyou very much. It's our pleasure to please. Regards Keith.

Touring Auckland

Taran_W, Nov 2024
Viator gave us a different pickup location to where the driver was. He called my cel and we connected, he gave us a full tour with excellent commentary. I would definitely recommend this driver and tour when in Auckland.

Best private tour experience

LAURA_Y, Mar 2024
This private sightseeing tour was an absolute delight. Rene, our driver, met us at the cruise ship terminal in his immaculate Mercedes EV. He asked what and where we were interested in seeing, then customized the trip specifically for us. He was extremely knowledgeable, personable, friendly, courteous, and a delight to listen to. He concluded the tour with several restaurant recommendations and dropped us off at the one we chose. We highly recommend Rene!

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Thankyou on behalf of Rene, one of my co workers. Our pleasure to please. Regards Keith.

Knowledgeable enthusiastic guide

Huong_D, Mar 2024

Auckland Overview

Kimberly_L, Feb 2024
Let me start by saying that we were the only ones on the tour which was kind of fun. Rick was very knowledgeable and took us all around the different parts of the city. We stopped at beaches and gardens and saw some of the beautiful houses of the suburbs. We stopped at a place for coffee and were able to walk along the beach a little beforehand. When we got back into town, Rick (without needing to) stopped by a store where we were able tp pick up a couple of gifts. We appreciated that. This tour is a nice overview of some of the city outskirts. I recommend it.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

On behalf of Rick, thankyou for your kind words. It's our pleasure to please. Regards Keith.

On time pickup and...

Auckland 4 hour tour

Norel_T, Jan 2024
We enjoyed our private tour of Auckland with Stephanie. She was very flexible with the schedule of stops and even included a stop, at our request, at a quilt fabric shop which was great!

Great City Tour

Dheeter601, Jan 2024
Keith showed our group of 4 a great day around Auckland! Started the day prompt in a nice and spacious van. Water was provided. Every site and city highlight was visited with helpful tour information. The time of the excursion was the right amount.

Excellent overview tour of Auckland

Michael_J, Dec 2023
Keith was a wonderful guide with lots of information and stories to bring Auckland alive. His touring format allowed us to cover a lot of the city in a short period of time. Definitely would recommend to anyone.

Perfect ending to our cruise.

Rosemary_M, Dec 2023
Keith was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable about the area and its history. He took us to so many highlights and we were able to spend as much or as little time as we wanted. He then dropped us at the airport to catch our flight home after our amazing time in New Zealand.

Excellent tour of Auckland

Lachlan_M, Nov 2023
Good mix of city, beaches and views. Keith was knowledgeable and pleasant, and the vehicle was comfortable and high enough to enable us to view the tour as it went on. Enough stops to catch some history, some coffee and use the facilities. All in all, a very pleasant morning.

A very happy customer !

AnneElizabeth_m, Oct 2023
Keith our tour guide and driver was FANTASTIC ! Viator is the best operating company there is. Well worth the cost, you see everything, never rushed, and the places we saw were just what we wanted to see. Keith knew his way to everything, had a very comfortable, clean van and a safe driver. Viator is our company we will always want to book with from now on.

Auckland is awesome

Sandra_E, Feb 2023

Good guide and tour with pickup at the cruise terminal after disembarkation

Pat_F, Jan 2023
Saw a bit of Auckland after getting off a cruise prior to going to a hotel for 3 nights. The driver was given the wrong name for the pickup. (It was the person for the next day but not the drivers fault) Wish she would have been a bit more talkative when driving us around.
