Tour worth far more than the price

We had a wonderful tour guide, Kim, and everything was seamless. Pick up was easy and in a clean, quiet car. Tour activities were personalized to us and our pace. What stood out, however, were the knowledge and personality of our guide. First, it was lovely to talk candidly with someone local to the area, since we can read guide books on our own but cannot know somebody’s perspective on sights - and more broadly, on Auckland and NZ. Second, we received not just a tour, but also dozens of photos of us from our guide (which was welcome but definitely not expected)! Would 10/10 recommend to anyone!
