Nice overview of the city, Josh the driver and guide was great . Never felt rushed to get back on the bus and arrived back on time.

Our tour guide John was outstanding in describing sights and because he is native to NZ, he was able to offer the historical insight to all attractions. A four hour tour with four Kodak moments/rest stops. Highly recommend this tour to first time visitors to Auckland.

As with everybody else's experience, Joshua was a great tour guide. All of the sites stops and everything else was as advertised and described. Maybe something nobody else mentioned, but as native Japanese language speakers, his kiwi English was quite easy to understand! An Important point even for native speakers of English who aren't quite yet used to local accents. Thanks!
