City tour, Piha beach, and the rainforest - I enjoyed this tour very much. In the morning we had Wayne for thwle tour if Auckland city, He was very funny and knowledgeable about the city. Especially places to eat.
In the afternoon we switched over to Milton and Mauri, who both did an excellent job. Very knowledgeable about the plants in the rainforest. And even off season, the beach was beautiful.
Would recommend this tour.

Excellent Introduction to Auckland! - My wife and I took a private tour. Our guide, Alex, was absolutely fabulous! He was informative, witty, courteous, and chock full of insight into the various sights we saw, the local terrain, flora and fauna. His recommendation for lunch (mean pies) hit the mark. Learned so much about Auckland and its surroundings. Highly recommend this tour. Alex was an engaging conversationalist who looked after all of our needs.

I recommend this tour in Auckland. - It was a whole day tour divided into 2 parts: morning and afternoon. The bus was clean and picked us up at the hotel. The tour was not private and we had other families on the tour with us. The driver took us around the town and he was also the tour guide. The second half of the day we were on the same bus with the driver, but the tour guide was another person. It was a little bit rainy, so Piha Beach would be nicer on a sunny day.
I recommend the tour to take.
