Rahul was a phenomenal tour guide. He shared great history of Auckland, had wonderful customer service, and was very patient with us. Honestly, the private tour is the way to see Auckland as we were able to explore at our pace through specific areas of interest. Any tour with Rahul or his company is a must when visiting.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the Auckland City Highlights Tour and appreciated the flexibility of exploring at your own pace. It’s fantastic to know Rahul’s knowledge, patience, and warm customer service made your experience memorable. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again on another Hopincab adventure in New Zealand!
Rahul provided all our transportation to and from the airport (four trips) and also made arrangements for our transport in Queenstown. He also took us to our first excursion (kayaking at night that didn’t include pickup or drop off)) and returned to pick us up after 10:00 PM. Additionally, he spent a whole afternoon taking us to different areas of interest near Auckland where we went on several hikes. Rahul’s knowledge of New Zealand was extensive and every ride was like being on a private tour! He was very friendly and always dependable. We definitely recommend HOPINCAB!
Thank you so much for your kind words, ! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that Rahul exceeded your expectations during your travels. It's wonderful to know that his knowledge of New Zealand enhanced your experience and that each ride felt like a personalized tour. We strive to provide exceptional service, and it's incredibly rewarding to hear that Rahul successfully delivered on that promise. We're delighted that HOPINCAB played a part in creating such memorable moments for you, from the convenient airport transfers to the exciting excursions and the scenic drives around Auckland. Thank you again for choosing HOPINCAB and for sharing your positive feedback. We look forward to welcoming you back to New Zealand in the future!"**
