We took the Auckland City Private Tour. Our guide’s name was Adil, who was very friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the city including the historical aspects of the region and New Zealand in general. We had a pleasant experience and we were able to take many pictures to capture lasting memories. We highly recommend this half-day tour with Auckland and Beyond.
Jon not only was very informative but exceptionally easy to talk to. Answered all our questions. We felt like we had known him for years. Jon went over and above for us. We certainly enjoyed the tour of Auckland.
Shirt but super intro to Auckland. Our guide was informed and really a joy to interact with. Really set up our trip well on our first day here
We were most keen to see Mt. Eden which offered spectacular views of Auckland! Mo pointed out the interesting landscapes and flora in Auckland, took us to some hidden gems and made great recommendations on other place to visit in the city.
Outstanding tour of Auckland today with Advil…so knowledgeable, courteous and fun!!!! Had the opportunity to learn a lot about the area. Also very knowledgeable on restaurants. We are heading to one if his favorites this evening of which he was able to get us in on a Saturday night.
Auckland City Highlights Tour – Auckland and Beyond Tours. We had a wonderful experience on the Auckland City Highlights Tour with our guide, Henrik! He was incredibly accommodating and made us feel completely comfortable. It was such a nice surprise that he even knew our home country and added lots of fun jokes and references along the way. The tour itself was well-paced, informative, and a perfect way to see the best of Auckland. Highly recommend both the tour and Henrik for anyone wanting a warm, personalized experience! 🌈✨

We went on a half day tour of Auckland today (06/02/2025) with our tour guide cum driver Warren. Warren was a jovial, friendly & knowledgeable person who never tried to hurry us up anywhere. I couldn't detect any trace of racial overtone in his narration of New Zealand's history. We were taken to a war memorial followed by rose 🌹 garden. We then went to the Michael Joseph Savage Memorial where Warren told us about the Waitangi Treaty, it's breach, the Maoris moving the Supreme Court, the court deciding in their favour, the government giving them compensation etc. We then moved to Achilles point. On way, he showed us a busy beach ⛱️ & prime residential area on the other side. The tour ended with a visit to a dormant volcano 🌋. Instead of the slated 3 hours, we returned after 4 hours of a thoroughly enjoyable & memorable trip. The weather fortunately was exceptionally good. We were also served snacks & water towards the end. Thanks Warren. Thanks "Auckland & Beyond Tours".
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you had an informative and enriching half-day tour of Auckland with Warren.

It’s great to know that you enjoyed the War Memorial, Rose Garden, Michael Joseph Savage Memorial, Achilles Point, and the dormant volcano, along with Warren’s engaging storytelling. We always strive to offer a relaxed, insightful, and memorable experience, and we're glad you felt unhurried and well taken care of. We appreciate you choosing Auckland & Beyond Tours and hope to welcome you again for another adventure in Aotearoa!
