This is a great tour. A wonderful way to see the city and make plans of places to shop or eat. My Eden is great! Grahmn was our guide and the sweetest person.
Thanks guys for a great review Our Auckland tour is pretty special and we most definitely go to the Little locations that the bigger tour companies don't so I'm so glad you enjoyed your day in with some absolute pleasure to host you
Graham picked us up at our hotel and dropped us off at the airport, which made it possible for us to do this tour, as we had an early evening flight. We so appreciated his service. Graham was very knowledgeable and has great love for his city of Auckland. We enjoyed his company and his presentation. Many thanks!
Thank you, Laurie So lovely to meet you both the other morning and showcase our beautiful city to you These tours have been a great addition to our portfolio and allowed people that normally wouldn't get to see the city as they sit in the hotel waiting for their flights This is a great opportunity to have a I really dynamic experience in your downtime I hope you both had a lovely flight home and as we discussed ,it would be great to see you on your next Adventure to AOTEAROA
Jojo was an encyclopedia of knowledge about beautiful Auckland - its history, origins and development as a city. Thoughtful and interesting tour of the harbor front, various neighborhoods, marinas, and natural history. The highlight was the hike up to the Mt Eden volcano - stunning 360 views. Highly recommend!
Thanks guys That's so great to hear our city tours are a real hit with with visitors to Auckland this year It's a great little Tour when you get to see so many cool locations but showcase this lovely city and it's very best Thanks again
Graham was a very knowledgeable and personable tour guide. He was easy to talk to and shared amazing facts about the different areas of Auckland. A well spent afternoon in Auckland
Thanks Keyur Was lovely meeting you you & mum Glad you enjoyed your special tour with us
This tour was just fantastic! We weee lucky enough to have Graeme as our guide and he was simply delightful and generous with his time. It was like having a dear friend take us around his wonderful city!
Thanks so much for you kind words Christine It was lovely to share our amazing city with you both So glad you enjoyed the tour Hope to see you on your next trip to Auckland
We enjoyed our tour very much. Dean was very knowledgeable and he wanted to make sure we had the best experience. Coming from Seattle it was nice to have a driver we could all understand. The climb to Mt. Eden was challenging for us oldies 66-70, but we made it and the view was phenomenal! We’d do it again especially if Dean was our guide!
thanks Kim, Yes the views on this volcano tour are pretty amazing from Aucklands hightest vantage point . Glad you enjoyed the day with us in Auckland
Graeme was a fantastic guide with a wonderful, gracious nature. He told wonderful stories and was a wealth of information. Prior to our trip, Graeme and I communicated several times and he was so thorough and responsive to my questions and our needs. He was willing to make adjustments to the tour so that we could be dropped off at Mt. Eden for dinner and a sunset climb. Our family all wanted to spend more time with him and we were grateful for his time and energy.
tha!nks Payne So good to meet you all and glad you had a great tour with me Mt Eden is magic with it being the highest natural vantage point in Auckland with views of the other 52 volcanos and both oceans So beautiful isnt it hope the rest of your stay in Aotearoa was fantastic!
Absolutely best way to explore Auckland! Graeme is a great owner/guide with a fantastic knowledge of his subject. We had so much fun in the tuktuk enjoying all his narrative about the sights and the funny ride in the electric tuktuk. We definitely want to recommend him and his company for all the tours he has. We were happily surprised that the tour was way longer than what we had paid for. A BIG kudos to Graeme and thank you so much!
thank-you Sini so glad you both enjoyed the Volcano tour and visiting our special Maunga's (mountains) here in Tamaki Makaurau
Our tour guide Dean was very informative and really made sure that we are comfortable and enjoying ourselves. The history of the how the city is built is very interesting. This tour is highly recommended.
so glad you enjoyed your tour with Dean He is our resident expert on the history of Auckland and there is as you experienced ,a big story to tell here in Auckland
We spent our long weekend in Auckland, and decided to go on the 1-hour City Sprint Tuk-Tuk Tour as we had limited time to see and do things. Would definitely recommend! Our guide was very accommodating and very informative, although the weather wasn’t great (raining) and visibility a bit low on certain landmarks it was still a great tour. Also, rather than taking us directly back to our hotel at the end of the tour, our guide happily dropped us off at the Auckland Art Gallery with no bother, and we had a wonderful time at the gallery. Another must-do when in Auckland. All in all a great last day in the city!
hi Emily thank you for a lovely review . Even on rainy day we make sure you see it all and enjoy your time with us Auckland is a great place as you know even when weather is a little off peak
