This is a must do in the beginning of your trip
Sharma was an excellent tour guide. We completed everything on the itinerary at a great pace and never felt rushed. As a solo traveler Sharma took every opportunity to take photos of me in all of the perfect sites we saw to assure I would wonderful memories to take back home with me. There were so many great places that I got to see that I would have never had a chance to see on my own.

Great tour and very accommodating to our timings
This is a great tour to get the highlights of Auckland's sites. The tour operator was VERY accommodating to adjust the timings of the tour so that we were able to be picked up right from the cruise terminal port... with our luggage... as soon as we disembarked and have our tour of the city! Then we were able to be dropped off at our accommodations in Auckland.
Thank you Sharma!
