Very interesting tour only disappointment was the Trinity Catholic Church and St Mary's Church weren't open and we had to wait another 30mins for the next bus
Nice ride around the beautiful city and water. Walk at your own pace and just catch the bus afterwards.
Kia Ora, Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review! It’s great to hear that you enjoyed exploring the city sights at your own pace, and we’re so pleased this was a highlight for you. Thank you for joining us on board! Many Thanks, Madeline and the Explorer Bus Team
Awesome service, very helpful and supportive. We lived every bit of this trip. I will advised more people you use this service.
Kia Ora, Thank you for your kind words! It’s fantastic to hear that you enjoyed your time with us on the Auckland Explorer Bus, and we really appreciate your recommendations! Many Thanks, Madeline and the Explorer Bus Team
Two routes that converge at the War Memorial Museum. It's a little confusing until you do it. It is really one long route, but they overlap, so that you can skip route B if you want. We had a two-day pass, so we did a few different things each day. We got off several places and explored the museum, the winter garden greenhouses, some shopping, and the aquarium. About 30 minutes between buses, so plan accordingly. Also, you have to exchange your pre-purchased voucher at stops 1 or 2.
Enjoy god and really like it and driver very noce and polite and really worth it and want to explore more
We only had a short space of time in Auckland and wanted to have a look around . It was good but thought $140 was a little pricey.

We really appreciate you choosing to travel with us and hope to welcome you onboard again in the future. Many Thanks, Madeline and the Explorer Bus Team
While this was a nice day and bus drivers were awesome, unless you are wine drinkers I wouldn’t do this. It is mainly about touring the local wineries. The scenery is beautiful, and the beach was really pretty but had I known ahead of time, I would have chosen something else.
Always a great way to see a city and learn its history. Unfortunately it was raining that day and the bus was cold and wet- not their fault. We were able to do the combined blue and red.
From downtown stops are not clearly marked. One stop near the tower had a sign that this bus stop is closed so we walked a half a mile to another stop. Streets are not easy to locate on maps. Bus only has English recording and is on a bus speaker. In the back you can not hear the speaker. Some buses were warm on a fall day. One other bus was cold. Not really much to see outside of downtown but still was somewhat enjoyable.
Kia Ora Brian, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations.
