Highlights
  • Auckland Harbour Bridge - Standing sentinel across the Waitemata Harbour, the Auckland Harbour Bridge is a crucial piece of infrastructure. Harbour bridge is the only bridge which connects the metropolis of the central business district to the North Shore and beyond to Northland.

  • North Head Historic Reserve - The location of Maungauika at the entrance to the Waitematā Harbour made it an important coastal defense. It was fears of a Russian invasion in the 1880s that led to the construction of a fort and the three disappearing gun batteries dotted along the maunga (mountain).

  • Mount Eden - Mount Eden is the highest volcano among Auckland’s 52 volcanos. It is 196m tall.
    From the summit, you can enjoy spectacular views of the city and its Harbours.

  • Winter Garden Auckland Domain - One of Auckland’s treasures, the Auckland Domain Wintergardens, opened in 1913 and has since captured the hearts of many. This garden features a large collection of chrysanthemum and showcases rare and exquisite plants.

  • Holy Trinity Cathedral - Holy Trinity Cathedral is the world’s only architectural example of a Pacific-Gothic cathedral.
    You can feel a sense of grandeur and beauty at once.
    Also You can see St. Mary Church which is made almost exclusively from heart Kauri, a New Zealand native timber, and is one of the few timber churches in the world built in the Gothic style.

On afternoon tour We are going to Winter Garden instead of Holy Trinity Cathedral due to closing time

Great Experience, Phenomenal Guide! - We had an incredible experience with our tour guide Sean in Auckland! He took us to some of the city’s most meaningful historic sites, giving us a deep dive into the history and significance of each location. The guide’s knowledge and passion truly brought the stories to life. On top of that, he knew all the perfect spots for capturing memorable photos, so we left with both fantastic memories and stunning pictures. Sean was extremely personable and accommodating - an absolute joy! If you're looking for a tour that blends education with picturesque moments, this is the one to book!

Well organised and informative tour - Had a brilliant half day tour of some of the sights around the periphery of Auckland City including the Winter Garden, Mount Eden and North Point. Sean, our guide, was hugely informative and made the whole experience very relaxing and fun. It was lovely to see the city from the viewpoint on Mount Eden and to learn some of the history and geography of the area. Sean was also very flexible adapting the tour to enable us to catch a ferry back to the city and see the lights at night. He then picked us back up on the other side to drive us back to our hotels. All in all a fabulous experience.

Zoom out & appreciate :) - I was looking to appreciate Auckland city from another perspective, and this tour exceeded that expectation! Mt. Eden was breathtaking, the gardens were so pretty, and the trip overall was very enjoyable - even with a little rain! Our guide, Sean, was very informative. He shared historical facts about the sites we visited, as well as fun little facts as we drove through the city. He went above and beyond and recommended we take the ferry back to see the night time city lights. It was the perfect ending to our tour. Sean met us on the other side and recommended some great dining options before dropping us back off at our hotels. Very glad I booked this one, I learned a lot!

Great experience! - Sean was a great guide - very friendly, communicative, accommodating and knowledgeable. He adjusted out tour because of the rain and unexpected unavailability of the cathedral, and made the tour even better than expected.

Excellent Tour - This was a fantastic tour. Sean was a wonderful guide, with great information and insight on both Auckland and New Zealand in general. The pickup and dropoff went very smoothly. He gave the option of changing dates as rain was expected, but we lucked out with little downpours. The tour is well-paced, with plenty of time at each location. It is a great overview of the city. I highly recommend this tour!

A nice afternoon - Even though our guide wasn't as knowledgeable as a local, she was greatly accommodating. She made sure we were well cared for and provided us with a great experience. She was very attentive and pleasant to be around.
