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 are going to Winter Garden instead of Holy Trinity Cathedral due to closing time

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
Sean went above and beyond in providing a wonderful afternoon touring the city. Learned a lot and enjoyed our small group tour. Great views of the city. Highly recommend for a half day tour of Auckland!
Thank you for your great review and thank you for choosing Epic tour
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.

Sean was the tour guide. He was awesome communicated in advance to ensure i knew where the pick up would be. Have great detail and history as we went to each location. Knew where the best photo spots/ angles were and offered to take pics (solo traveler)when needed. Overall good experience, great tour guide.

Tour guide was amazing. My 11 yr old daughter and I had a great time. Comfy vehicle. Glad he told us to do the Tour earlier. He deterred from the Tour which was so much better. Would highly recommend. So informative.

An enjoyable few hours spent discovering some important parts of Auckland. Sean was a personable guide and well informed on historical and cultural matters. There were 3 other couples and the vehicle was comfortable.

This tour was taken on our last day in Auckland. It started out as a windy rainy day. Thank goodness, the rain stopped but the wind and clouds remained. Regardless of the weather, Sean, our tour guide, was undeterred and gave a great tour. Tour. This is a great way to see other parts of the city and get some great history. This tour takes you outside of the central business district. We loved the different sites and the knowledge that Sean imparted to all of us. If anything, I think my wife and I should have done this trip on the first day we got to Auckland to give us an idea of other places to see for the rest of the time we were here. I would suggest that for people coming to Auckland. It was informative and educational and we enjoyed it. Thanks again to Sean for doing such a great job.
Thank you for your great review. We are sp happy to hear that you and your wife had a great time with Sean. Once again thanks for choosing Epic tour. We hope you all the best.
