Understanding the core of Auckland - Mike was really informative, gauging what volcanic facts to share so well. It was a treat to get out and about round the wider city too. Only pity was not getting to go up One Tree Hill.

Great tour ! - Mike provided knowledge and insight regarding regional volcanic activity. And, when prompted, he added commentary on a variety of topics affecting both New Zealand and the local Auckland community. He was professional, informative, and friendly.

Experience of volcanic proportions. - On this tour, you will find some of the best views of Auckland. Michael, our tour guide was extremely informative, accommodating and friendly. Felt like we learnt more in this half day tours, compared to other full day tours we had been on. The smaller tour allowed for a more intermediate experience; highly recommend!!
