We had a fantastic day with our guide, Harriet. She gave us so much insight into Auckland and the history of the city as well as the importance of native species to New Zealand. Each stop was well worth the visit and I’d happily recommend this tour to friends visiting Auckland.

Be ready for some walking and some inclines, but just an excellent experience from beginning to end. Just enough time at every stop. Ask for Jerome!!!
Everything was as advertised. Amazing sites, on time departures, happy day in Auckland! I highly recommend!
Our guide, Harriet, was great!
The scenery was breathtaking with plenty of opportunities for photos.
Guide Jerome knows a lot about the surroundings and as a native Kiwi he knows a lot about cultural history as well. He drove us to beautyful, scenic places and even did extra stops because it was a small group. Clear communication and even an earlier pick-up was possible (our cruise ship had an early sail-away that day). Really enjoyed this trip and worth the money!
There were only 2 of us on this tour. Tour is great for nature lovers. We walked quite a bit. Lunch at the winery was delicious and it was a lovely place. Harriet was a super guide, gave us lots of excellent information. She drives well on the narrow winding roads and the minivan was comfortable.
Harriet was an amazing tour guide. Such a wonderful day. She is so knowledgeable and we saw so
many amazing things
From volcanos to black sand beaches to waterfalls and then a wine tasting to top it off. It was one of the best tours we’ve been on!
Harriet was excellent. We went to a variety of interesting locations - Mt Eden, Piha black sandy beach, Rose Hellaby house (bonus unplanned stop), and a wine tasting and lunch.
Michael was a grear tour guide providing us with a cultural perspective of the areas we travel that ended with a wonderful lunch and wine tasting.
I was provided with the van and driver information 2 days ahead, pickup was on time and smooth. Jerome was informative and professional, took great pics too! Discovered a great wine at the winery, thanks for arranging everything!!
We had the best day with Harriet. Very friendly knowledgeable as our first visit to Auckland we saw so much we were so grateful.
As being a small group of 3 was very accommodating picking us up and dropping back to our hotel.
We hope you enjoy our recommendations of Sydney when you visit.
Thank you again 🇦🇺
I didn’t think I could fall in love with New Zealand anymore until I did this tour. Jerome was very knowledgable and catered for my more adventurous nature which helped me spot penguins in a cave! 10/10 - thank you!
Absolutely amazing, great views and very kind tour guide (Harriet). Not a crowded tour so it was a very personable tour.
Harriet was knowledgeable and informative about the area including plant and wildlife.
We loved our day with beautiful sights and an engaged tour guide. Thanks Harriet. This trip really made our stay to Auckland very special.
Jerome was a great tour guide and, because it was just me, he tailored the tour to what I wanted to see, and we just went with the vibe. The weather was also great so that worked in our favor. I really appreciated this tour company because even though it was just me, they went ahead and ran the tour vs. a bunch of other companies would’ve asked me to switch or cancel. Highly recommend!
Great tour! Harriet was super outgoing and knowledgeable. The views were stunning and the transportation was a great plus!
Nice tour unfortunately it was a very rainy day and we were not fully able to enjoy the lovely spots we were taken to
Our driver Jerome was very nice

Maddie was the tour guide for this tour. She was a great source of local information. She took us to some really beautiful sites and had a lot of patience with my slow walking and many questions. The beach, waterfall and Mt Eden were spectacularly beautiful and I really appreciate being able to see them on my one day in Auckland. The wine tasting venue was lovely and the lunch was just perfect. I very much enjoyed the day with Maddie and the small group we had.
Very worthwhile. Guide/Driver Harriet was very friendly and informative. Some uphill walking but nothing that demanding. Great opportunity to go outside the city and explore nature.
The tour provided a great experience with a small group tour. we were able to walk through the Mount Eden volcano site led by our tour guide who provided interesting fact about the volcano. We enjoyed a walk to the Piha Beach of black sand and explored the short hike to majestic Karekare falls. Beautiful! Our tour ended with a tasty lunch at Soljans Estate Winery where we had an opportunity to taste wine and do a bit of shopping. We found the wine tasting to be less informative or enjoyable than others we had experienced as people were crowded at the bar getting their wine, making it difficult to hear what wine was being served and it's information.
This was a wonderful tour. Our tour guide Maddie was very knowledgeable. Was picked up on time however we were the only couple on the tour. Which to us was well worth it.
Felt like a personal tour felt kind of lucky. Didn’t need to wait around for anyone.
She took pictures of us which turned out really nice. Mt Eden the scenic view was beautiful along with Piha Beach. Although we didn’t get to see the water fall because it was closed off she took us to another trail which was really nice.
The wine tasting was also good we had lunch there. The food I must say was amazing.
Would recommend this tour to anyone visiting.
Also thank you Maddie for a wonderful time.
Hennrietta was an awesome guide, very friendly and knowledgeable . The tour was outstanding. Highly recommend.
Harriet was very knowledgeable. We got to see the beach, the waterfall, the tree and the view from mount Eden.
We toured Karekare Falls with Harriet. She was knowledgeable, most gracious and accommodating. We came across a road closure and she immediately detoured and got us there anyway. Beautiful site to see!!!
Great tour with Jeremy. He gave us lots of information and time at each stop. Gave us choices and tailored the tour to the weather.
I had the best day. I was a solo female traveller and shared the day with other solo travellers. My highlight was walking on the soft black sand. The guide was also awesome!!
Mike was an excellent tour guide and provided excellent information regarding Auckland and its history.
Wonderful tour of some of the most iconic
sites in New Zealand and 360 degree views of the city . Harriett, our tour guide, was approachable, helpful and informative.
Our guide Jerome was very knowledgeable and relatable. He pointed out important landmarks and added flavor to the tour with things only a local would know. The tour let us see some of the natural beauty of the land and allowed us to enjoy wines from a local producer.
Lovely orientation to the Auckland region. Gorgeous views, tasty wine, and knowledgeable commentary from a very friendly guide (Jerome). Highly recommend as a starting point for exploring what the area has to offer.
