It was an amazing experience of food and culture and our driver Jon engaged with us on so many levels sharing New Zealand and other very interesting topics of interest for us all. We would highly recommend him as a driver.

Our tour guide Simon went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable throughout the entire tour. His knowledge of the area was impressive, and he shared so many interesting facts and insights along the way. He also took us to a fantastic restaurant that we thoroughly enjoyed. Simon was professional, respectful, and truly made our day special. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-notch tour experience!

Henrik was very knowledgeable of the culture and Auckland history. We had a very pleasurable time and would recommend this for a more focused and intimate tour.

Warren was a great guide and was willing to adjust to our interests while staying within the set time limits. The Maori experience at the war memorial museum was the highlight of the tour for us. Seeing the city from the last viewpoint was fantastic, could have skipped one of the others. Would have liked to have gone over the bridge to a viewpoint on the other side but we ran out of time.

We had a fantastic time, Warren was extremely knowledgeable, accommodating and fun. We learned to only ask the questions he knew the answer too and took us to all the places to take in the beauty of New Zealand and learn the culture of the land.

The tour from Auckland to Rotorua seemed long but thanks to the bubbly and funny driver the tour was very interesting. The trip included the visit to the marae and seeing the Maori cultural performances followed by a hangi lunch. Due to the heavy rain, the tour finished off by visiting to the agrodome. Chris has spent time with us ensuring everyone is okay and included! Highly recommend the Auckland & Beyond Tour!
