Auckland Excursion - I know you can't see a city in one day but Andrew did a wonderful job of taking my husband and I around Auckland. We started by driving along the harbor and up to the highest point in Auckland with a 360 view of the city. We drove along the beach, saw the Wellington city sign, the Weta studios, had a very good lunch at the Chocolate Fish Cafe, saw the NZ War Museum, downtown, rode the cable car, etc. Andrew was very friendly, and knowledgeable and we enjoyed the day we spent with him! I would definitely recommend Andrew and this tour! You won't regret it!

Great small group experience - Liz was a fun, low key tour guide. It was us with 2 other couple’s in her Mercedes Van. We were stress free as she navigated the highlights of Wellington! The Chocolate Fish Cafe was delicious!

One day in Wellington - Steve our guide was superb. We hit it off with him from the moment we met because of his extremely likeable nature. Although he had a plan of Wellington highlights, we discussed what best worked for us and he adapted his schedule to suit. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Wellington being an ex-teacher and we discussed a whole range of topics throughout the day. Although we had never met before, it was comparable to having a day in the company of an old friend. We only had a day to appreciate the sights and sounds of Wellington and Steve made sure that we did just that.

A wonderful sightseeing experience! - We had a wonderful guide, Selwyn, who was very knowledgeable and very adaptable to our requests. We visited many prominent landmarks - Parliament House, the Mt Victoria Lookout, the Cable Car, The Basin Reserve, to name a few - and had a delicious lunch on the waterfront. It was an entertaining day from start to finish. I highly recommend it. Thanks, Selwyn!

A windy, but fun day in Wellington - We booked this trip just two days in advance, and Andrew was able to make our private trip a reality. Andrew was fantastic, prompt, kind, informative, and accommodating. It was a very overcast and windy day, that because of Andrew, was made fun. We learned a lot about Wellington, which was our hope for the day! Thank you Andrew for a lovely day!

Great experience - Andrew our tour guide knew his stuff. My mother and I had a wonderful time. My mother saw and found out everything. We loved the chocolate fish Cafe. Food and drinks were amazing. Would definitely recommend. Worth every penny spent.

Outstanding Tour - The guide was very knowledgable and kind. He knew all about NZ and made us feel very welcome. We also liked the fact that lunch and tickets were included.

Overpriced - Very expensive for what it’s worth. It says includes tickets to places, but the only place you needed ticket is the cable car, which is not that expensive at all. Package also mentions refreshments and tea but No refreshments or afternoon tea was given. Only stopped for lunch at a cafe. Tour is only good for you, if you can’t drive or google what places to visit yourself. You can do the whole tour by yourself (if you can hire a car and drive) under NZD $200 for 2-3 people and eat at your choice of restaurant. Tour guide is good but overall it’s just too pricey for what it is.
