Everything was perfect as I expected; I would do it again, very well planned and organized.
Estimado Luis, muchísimas gracias por su reseña. Nos alegra enormemente que haya disfrutado descubrir y enamorarse de Auckland con nosotros!!! Cordiales saludos
Tour was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. We visited some spectacular spots around the city, with beautiful views and iconic locations that made the tour truly memorable. Traveling by car/van made everything very comfortable and allowed us to see a lot in a short amount of time. Our guide was professional, knowledgeable, and friendly throughout the entire tour. He made sure we were informed, comfortable, and enjoying every stop along the way. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Auckland.
Dear Martha, thank you so much for taking your time to provide us with this kind review. We love to hear that our tour provided a memorable experience and that you enjoyed your time with your host driver!!! Kindest regards
Woo-Jong Kim was awesome! He gave us an awesome tour of Auckland and personally made our tour the best part of our day! Highly recommend a tour with him.
Dear Margaret, we are very happy to hear that you enjoyed discovering Auckland with Woo-Jong. Thank you so much for your feedback; we will definitely share it with him.
Our tour guide Siba was very respectful and helpful with our questions. We did not expect this tour to be this good and beyond our expectations to see the highlights of CBD. Thank you.
Dear Guest, thank you so much for your feedback on your tour experience with us and with Siva as your host driver; we will definitely share your kind words with him.
Grateful for the tour experience with Aziz today who showed attention to detail across the tour. There is an in car audio which provides guidance on the stops and it covers something for everyone, whether you’re interested in the history only, or the transformation over the years, the university’s pivotal role in the city or the sporting heritage of New Zealand. The cost for a private tour in a car is worth it; the car was clean and comfortable. The tour lasted about 90 minutes but was well worth it. Well done Aziz!
Dear Guest, we are very happy to hear that you enjoyed exploring Auckland with us! We greatly appreciate your feedback on the tour and Aziz as your host driver; we will definitely share your kind words with him.
good value. comfortable. we'll organised
Dear Guest, thank you very much for taking the time to provide feedback on our tour. We are happy to hear that you had a nice experience discovering Auckland with us.
It was a local taxi driver with a pre-recorded script. Being in a small vehicle, it was impossible to see the buildings that were being featured. There were 2 photo stops, which were nice. Our tour lasted less than 90 minutes and was not worth the cost of the tour. We saw so little. The tour should be more comprehensive based on the price.
Dear Vailbound, we are sorry you didn't have the experience you were expecting. Having happy guest's is what we strive on every day and what drives everything we do. We take great pride in the overview we provide of Auckland. We have a curated route which is designed to show the highlights of the city in 75-90 minutes with an enriching audio which talks about not only the attractions, but also our people, our history, our culture and so much more. We also make sure that the drivers are nice hosts who can complement the audio experience. The cars that we use are either Tesla model 3 or Toyota Camry hybrids. We try to communicate as clearly as possible our value proposition of comfort (your own private bubble), convenience (we pickup and drop off from hotels), and a highly enriching experience at very accessible pricing (which is more comparable to a shared group experience). We're sorry to hear that you thought you were purchasing something different.
We arrived on a cruise ship and our flight didn’t depart until early afternoon. We were looking for a city tour and then transportation to the airport. They were extremely accommodating! Siva met us at the ship, drove us around Auckland with several stops for photo ops. We had some extra time so he took us to a few other fun sites. Got to the airport no problem. Highly Recommend!! Very reasonable pricing. Thanks!
Thank you very much for your review Jeff! We are very happy that you enjoyed exploring our beautiful city of Auckland before heading back home.
Whether you're in Auckland for a day or multiple days, you should take this tour so you know what is here to see and where to go.
Thank you very much for your review Gerald and for having chosen us to discover Auckland!!!
