Time well spent in Auckland - This is a very good tour that lets you see many interesting sites in Auckland in an enjoyable four hours. Our guide, Mike, is a really nice guy and really knows his stuff. My wife and I enjoyed the tour, and we thought that we got a good value for the money.

Great way to see more of Auckland! - Our driver and guide Danny was great. We didn't rent a car during our four-day stay before a cruise, but were able to get around much of Auckland's main downtown area on our own in previous days. But of course we didn't get to see everything, so our half-day tour on the van helped us explore places we hadn't been able to reach. We learned a lot more about the history and people of the area and had a fun time doing it.
