Perfect way to see Auckland and its surroundings
I was provided with the van and driver information 2 days ahead, pickup was on time and smooth. Jerome was informative and professional, took great pics too! Discovered a great wine at the winery, thanks for arranging everything!!

Great Tour
We had the best day with Harriet. Very friendly knowledgeable as our first visit to Auckland we saw so much we were so grateful. As being a small group of 3 was very accommodating picking us up and dropping back to our hotel. We hope you enjoy our recommendations of Sydney when you visit. Thank you again 🇦🇺

I didn’t think I could...
I didn’t think I could fall in love with New Zealand anymore until I did this tour. Jerome was very knowledgable and catered for my more adventurous nature which helped me spot penguins in a cave! 10/10 - thank you!

Piha beach, winery lunch
Harriet was knowledgeable and informative about the area including plant and wildlife. We loved our day with beautiful sights and an engaged tour guide. Thanks Harriet. This trip really made our stay to Auckland very special.

Jerome was a great tour...
Jerome was a great tour guide and, because it was just me, he tailored the tour to what I wanted to see, and we just went with the vibe. The weather was also great so that worked in our favor. I really appreciated this tour company because even though it was just me, they went ahead and ran the tour vs. a bunch of other companies would’ve asked me to switch or cancel. Highly recommend!

Wonderful tour of the West Side of Auckland
We had a fantastic day with our guide, Harriet. She gave us so much insight into Auckland and the history of the city as well as the importance of native species to New Zealand. Each stop was well worth the visit and I’d happily recommend this tour to friends visiting Auckland.
