Private Auckland Half Day Tour

We did the Auckland Highlights Luxury Tour and it was absolutely fantastic and worth every penny! We were greeted by our friendly and super cool host Donna who was everything you’d want in a host and more. We thoroughly enjoyed her driving, knowledge, company, and just all round vibe! Manaakitanga lives strongly with people like Donna! The ride was very comfortable, not over booked at all, 3 couples in a 9 seater van is just perfect, so everyone was happy! Not to mention the amazing snack basket that’s there for you as well. Savory, sweet, plain, simple options that would make most people happy. As I constant water sipper, it was such a comfort having access to water whenever necessary. The choice of places we stopped at were really cool! A nice mixture of urban culture and traditional culture, of which we ended up learning so much from. For me personally it allowed me to bridge a few gaps regarding the amazing Māori culture with the rest of Aotearoa! You wouldn’t believe the views you’ll get on this tour. If you want to be humbled at the marvel of Aotearoa’s beauty, this is an excellent tour choice for the TIME crunched traveler (pun intended 😂) We even stopped at a lovely little chocolate shop that is totally worth it! Also the lovely Donna gave us the absolute best recommendation for food where we finished the tour. We ended up at DEPOT at SkyCity Tower and have hands down the best meal through our whole trip. Bone marrow,Snapper sliders,Fresh oysters, Cucumber salad amazing. Desert sugar pie and skillet cookie,amazing. The staff were so cute and helpful , really added to the amazing food. Also if you’re a fan of the daily show, I think Grace Kuhlenschmidt’s kiwi twin works there! 😂 Thank you Donna!! ❤️ If you made it this far, I’ve convinced you that this is the tour you want. Otherwise, THIS IS THE TOUR YOU WANT.

Neill was a wonderful guide! Very knowledgeable and showed us the most beautiful and out of the way areas of Auckland. Will be going back and will use their company again!

This is my third time using their service. I cant recommend enough! Neill and Ceillhe are so lovely and helpful. They go above and beyond to provide the best service!!

Amazing service and awesome host/driver!!! Will always choose this company over any others. Friendly, professional service

Julia, our guide, a 5th-generation Kiwi, gave us a 4-hr windshield tour of various Auckland highlights with running commentary that not only showed us and told us about a few sites and views, but more importantly for us, set us up to appreciate various aspects of culture unique to NZ. Tiaki! We had flown into Auckland early a.m. on an overnight from Houston. We took a nap, but wanted an afternoon Auckland experience that wouldn't require much energy on our part. This was perfect! Knowledgeable, personable and interesting guide, comfy van, water/snacks (plus a demo of NZ tasty delights) and a subtle introduction to "the feel" of NZ. Do it!

Wonderful tour around Auckland with Linda. Great overview of the city, its surroundings and history. Linda is very knowledgeable and informative, yet engaging and entertaining, as well. Super way to see and feel Auckland.

Excellent tour with a knowledgeable and friendly guide. Visited many interesting sites with plenty of photo opportunities. Highly recommended.

We were taken in a comfortable mini-bus to a few specific historic and vista locations. Our guide, Sofire, gave us a good feel for the history of Auckland, including the Maori views. Her presentations were wonderful and she was very clear in her descriptions of locations and historical events.

Eine fantastische Erfahrung, absolut empfehlenswert. Besonders unser Guide Harry gab uns das Gefühl, wir sind willkommen und wir gehen als Freunde. Es hat ein überwältigendes Fachwissen und hat dies auch sehr gut vermitteln können. Tolle Sightseeing Stops gepaart mit insider Wissen, eine super Kombination. Eine der besten Touren, die wir je erlebt haben.
