Ultimate Auckland experience

ushmavasant, Feb 2026

UV & HDV Mr Sharma was our guide His knowledge & information about Auckland’s Geography, History & Culture made our trip to Auckland absolute perfect about this beautiful city. It was truly and amazing experience and we managed to see a lot of top highlights of Auckland in the short time we had very efficiently. Nothing was too much trouble and he went out of his way sometimes to make our experience memorable. He introduced us to the famous New Zealand pie for lunch break . We would highly recommend Mr Sharma for this Ultimate Auckland experience

Sharma was a fantastic guide. He communicated where we would meet and updated us all the time. He was very knowledgeable about every highlight we stopped at and as we travelled he gave us lots of information all the way. He took photo’s of us, so we would have memories to take back home of Auckland.

Auckland in a Few Hours

Joanne_T, Mar 2024

Our short Auckland experience was great. Sharma was very knowledgeable and took the time to give us an in-depth background of all the key landmarks and their history. He took fun photos of us and we thoroughly enjoyed both he and his wife’s company. We highly recommend this tour with Sharma whether you are in Auckland for a few hours or a few days.

Auckland Exposed in a Day

William_C, Feb 2024

With a free day in Auckland our party of four booked this tour which turned out to be a very delightful experience. Our tour guide H Sharma kept us informed of his arrival time as traffic that morning was complicated due to an accident and arrived at our hotel in a timely manner. He was warm and friendly with a great sense of humor. Our group was then transported to the high points of the city and told of the history of the city, with time out for lunch on our own it turned out to be a great full day. We felt as though we had seen more of the area than we expected and were completely satisfied as we were dropped off at our hotel. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone wishing to see all of Auckland on a limited time schedule. Mr Sharma did an outstanding job.

Great introduction to the city

Lawson_C, Jan 2024

Our guide, Sharma, was very good. He made sure that everyone had a good time. He provided good commentary on all the sites we visited. This is the best introduction to the city for visitors. Efficient way to get around the town and see the main attractions.

Great Tour

Julianne_D, Nov 2023

Barry picked us up at Princes Wharf after our cruise as scheduled. He took 3 couples around Auckland, pointed out sites, dropped us off for lunch. A wonderful experience. Took one couple to airport and then dropped us off at our hotel. Would definitely do it again!
