This was our first Viator to Auckland and NZ. Our guide was Mike - he was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He barely stopped talking for the 8 hours - and that was a good thing!! His stories were filled with humor and facts about all aspects of Auckland. The tour goes east, west, north and south to all corners of the area and provide an in depth insight into the city. The lunch stop was enjoyable as was the wine tasting. We are bringing some of that back to the states! All in all a worthwhile day.

This was a beautiful tour with multiple views of Auckland’s beaches and the city. Our guide Mike was very informative and happy to answer questions. We viewed the botanical winter garden, various volcanic formations, beaches, had a wine tasting, and stopped for ice cream. Very enjoyable experience and a great way to get to know the city.

Mike gave us our own personal tour of Auckland after a second couple canceled. We enjoyed the extensive all day tour of many of Auckland's beautiful beaches, historic houses, volcanoes, marinas and country around the city. Mike's knowledge of the city and history gave us a great start to visit many sites throughout New Zealand.

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!
