Informative and interesting tour - We enjoyed our tour with Murray very much. An easy 5 minute walk from the cruise shop pier, and a warm welcome to the comfortable mini bus by Murray. Very impressed with the commentary which was interesting and informative, would highly recommend.

City tour with an informed guide - Our guide lived in Auckland her entire life. She was familiar with all of the different neighborhoods. She was aware of the architecture, the buildings that had been relocated, and significant individuals who were involved with maintaining the history of the city. We toured the waterfront which was large, and had a deep history of the America’s Cup winning 3x. She was able to drop us at our chosen locations. We enjoyed her and the information about Auckland.

Excellent tour - Great tour guide and very many sites to see, the Botanical garden flowers were beautiful. Say some nice houses in Devenport along the beach. Fort Victoria views were amazing of the city.

Perfect tour great guiding from Michelle. - Michelle our guide was a complete delight to be with as she expertly guided our small mini bus to see the history and highlights of Auckland. We were so impressed by the amount of sites we visited and there were plenty of opportunities for photos and a stop for coffee and a wee. Because of the timely pick up from our hotel we really maximised our short visit and discovered so much of the historic Māori culture and even went to Devonport which was so just lovely we took the ferry back there again for dinner. Michelle even helped us drop off at our next hotel further along Queen Street. This tour is done with such good grace and a must do if visiting Auckland for the first time.

A great day 1 introduction to Auckland - It turns out Auckland is a lot bigger and hillier than we expected(!) so this was a fabulous way to get to know the city on our first day, while waiting for our accommodation to be ready. The tour gets out to some of the further away suburbs to give you a great understanding of life across the city (including onto the North Shore) and is a handy way of picking up tips about places to go back to and visit when you have more time. Milton (our guide and driver) was hugely knowledgeable and eager to tell stories about the city and country. If you’re already planning on visiting Devenport and some of the other further out parts of the city, this might be a bit surplus to requirements, but anyone wanting a quick grounding in some nice neighbourhoods of Auckland, I’d recommend.
