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.

North & south Auckland - Jason was a great guide with a great sense of humour, showing us everything from north to south of the Auckland Harbour bridge. Was really helpful as an introduction to Auckland, so we knew our way around. Jason kindly dropped us at the War Memorial afterwards!!
