Beautiful Auckland

Kay was our tour guide. Communication was clear and prompt prior to our tour. We were able to find Kay easily at the port. He sent a picture of his car and license plate to assist. Kay was friendly and knowledgeable about Auckland. He modified the itinerary on the spot to meet our desires. He was able to take pictures for us as well. I enjoyed this tour because it took us to sites outside of the city center. The fours hours flew by quickly.

You Won’t be disappointed

By far, this was the best 1/2 tour we have ever taken. We were so blessed to have K as our tour guide and photographer. K was awesome. He gave us so much beyond the 4 hour tour. He is very knowledgeable and just a great conversationalist. We really enjoyed the tour thanks to K. Great value and a wonderful experience.

Excellent tour! Highly recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour! Our guide, Semok, was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable about the city and gave us lots of great opportunities to take photos. He also offered to take photos of us, which was much appreciated. We enjoyed getting to know him and the city of Auckland! We felt like we really got to see the highlights in this half-day tour. Semok’s vehicle was spotless and spacious and bottled water was provided, which was a thoughtful touch. We highly recommend this tour!
