We had one day in Auckland on our cruise and we feel this tour absolutely made the most of it! We couldn't believe how much was packed in. We really appreciated having a local guide, Mike, who has spent his life in the region, could provide tons of interesting information and history, and he was also considerate of all guests re any mobility challenges. While hitting the main spots, he also took us to some great locations with no one at them for photos etc. The vehicle was also extremely comfortable and modern with usb ports. And the restaurant for lunch was great - highly recommend the fish & chips!

Our tour guide Mike was the best. He was funny and personable. We were short on time but was able to see a lot while in Auckland. Highly recommend.

A great tour with Danny around Auckland and its surrounds. We had a beautifully sunny winter's day and Danny drove assertively but safely to get us through city traffic, which we really appreciated. Danny gave informative introductions to the sights and was super friendlyn and personable. We also went on the Hobbiton and Waitomo Caves with this company and would 100% recommend them.

We had an excellent tour with Auckland Scenic Tours and their knowledgeable, warm and friendly guide Mike. Mike was very attentive to our interests and was very accommodating to some slight tweaks in the tour. Also had a delicious lunch at the lovely tavern dating back to 1857! Highly recommend this experience!

Danny gave a very personalised tour where he had in depth knowledge of the various landmarks in Auckland

Mike was an outstanding guide. Due to a upcomming Storm we have to shorten the daytrip. But the Company give us the possibility to start the trip early so we can see everything that was planned

Mike S. Was fantastic tour guide/driver with Viator. Hobbit land and Glow worms in one day. Long day on beautiful winding country roads. Lots of farm animals . Cows, sheep and turkies . Good full day. 👍♥️

It was a well laid out tour, rained all day but our guide Danny made the most of the day for us despite the weather
