Itinerary
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.
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). Norht Head Historic Reserve might be change to Kauri Tree Forrest on afternoon session.
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.
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 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 might go to Parnell Rose Garden instead of Holy Trinity Cathedral due to closing time

Sean was a great tour guide! Vey knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. He also rerouted us based on weather.
Thank you for your great review and thank you for choosing Epic tour
This was a wonderful 4 hours hours experience, with tour guide transport pickup and drop off from my hotel. Everything about the tour was just perfect and the sites and stop point was just breath taking. New Zealand tour is the best and tour guide Seam Kim is a 5 star tour guide.

An outstanding tour! Hwani Kim is a fantastic tour guide - sharing such helpful and informative details about the city and the locations we visited. It was a very positive experience!
Thank you for your great review and thank you for choosing Epic tour
I enjoyed this tour because it took me outside the city center, and I was able to see sites I may not have normally seen on a local walking tour. Mount Eden with its views and the winter garden with its beautiful flowers were the highlights. Noble did a great job leading the tour. I would highly recommend this tour!

We have a fantastic Auckland half day tour with our Tour Guide, Sean Kim. I think we had managed to see the most important highlight of Auckland City. Obviously, Sean is very knowledgeable of the history and culture of New Zealand especially Māori peoples. He is very caring and communicate very well in English too. He also assisted us with a lot of information of few good areas to visit in Rotorua and also some good restaurants recommendation. A highly recommended Tour Guide. Thanks, Wong

Our afternoon flew by as our guide Sean drove us on a 360-degree tour of Auckland. He delivered stunning scenery - whether the Wintergardens, Cathedral or Mount Eden -and an impressive amount of knowledge about each sight and its history. It was a great introduction to Auckland, delivered with care and humor.
