An inspiring introduction to Auckland and its beautiful backyard - We can’t recommend this tour highly enough for those who are curious about Auckland and the natural beauty at its back door. Our two tour guides made this a very memorable day: one took us on an urban safari which made us fall in love with the beauty and diversity of Auckland! In the afternoon we stopped at the best country bakery for lunch and headed west to explore the majestic rainforest (you must see an old Kauri tree!) and to the black sands of Piha Beach. Afternoon tea in the dunes was such a treat before heading back to the city.

A perfect Auckland crash course - Fun and Fascinating! - 這個週日參加了奧克蘭市區觀光,只能說出乎意料的有趣!導遊 Chris 非常專業又充滿熱情,沿途分享了豐富的文化背景與當地風土人情,讓我們收穫滿滿。整個行程輕鬆有趣、內容精彩,我和我小學的兒子也都非常開心,真心推薦給大家! Absolutely amazing tour! We explored Auckland city last Sunday with our guide Chris, and he was outstanding – so professional, friendly, and full of energy. He shared so many interesting stories about the city’s culture and local life that we felt truly connected to the place. The whole experience was fun, engaging, and unforgettable. Highly, highly recommend this tour and Chris to anyone visiting Auckland!

Amazing New Zealand Highlights - The tour is great way to see New Zealand. Love that we saw the city, rainforest and beach all in one day. My favorite was the beach, amazing landscape with shimmering sand. The tour guides are so kind and helpful and we even had some honey and refreshments served.

Guides Who Go Above and Beyond!!! - Today some friends and I went on the morning tour and the afternoon tour with Erin. Both tour guides were very knowledgeable about the area, as well as friendly. You can tell they loved what they were doing. We had a small group, and both ladies took their time and tailor made the day just for us. We really appreciated the attention to detail that was given to us. I will definitely recommend their company to my future clients.

Well worth it - Would definitely recommend this tour when you first arrive in Auckland to get your bearings around this wonderful city. Whether it’s the city, rainforest or beach, this tour gives you a taste of NZ. Wayne was our first driver and he had a wealth of knowledge on the history and culture of NZ. His dad jokes were hilarious. For the second half of the day, which covers the rainforest & Piha Beach, we had Annie and Dustin as our guide and driver. They were just as sweet, warm and knowledgeable. They were passionate about the flora and fauna. It was a great introductory tour.
