Amazing Tour Worth Doing - This is an amazing tour that takes you up multiple volcanoes and shows you amazing scenery and views. Mike is friendly and very knowledgable about the landscape and history of the area. The smaller group number compared to other tours allowed for a really personalised experience. Definitely a tour worth doing!

Volcanoes everywhere! - A different type of tour than the usual city sights. Mike was personable and knowledgeable about the volcano activity in the area. His van was comfortable and water was provided. The walks had some steepness, but certainly manageable. Good exercise! We would have appreciated a bit more commentary on sights we passed, history, etc as we were first time visitors to Auckland. All in all, we would recommend.
