This tour was delivered by one of the most well-informed personable guides we have had on holidays before now. Michael was a funny, friendly and a highly considerate man. The tour was a great introduction on our 1st day to this wonderful country. Highly recommend it. Diana and Mark, Newcastle Australia
Perfect Auckland Overview

If you are spending limited time in Auckland and want a quick overview, this tour is for you! Our guide, Mike, was personable and informative. We got off to a slow start due to his need to pick up cruise passengers from the very "under construction" dock area (a lot of the downtown is under construction). However, he did this with good humor and color commentary and we never felt rushed during the actual tour. This tour perfectly met our hopes.
Enjoyable half day tour

Tour guide Michael was excellent very knowledgeable and friendly. We arranged to be picked up by our cruise ship. This made Michael late due to extensive roadworks around the port area, causing him to be late for each subsequent pick, up obviously not his fault.
This was a small group in a comfortable, clean vehicle. The tour itself covered all the major sights in and around Auckland with Michael giving a constant commentary. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Auckland.

Michael was a very good and knowledgeable driver
He provided a very comprehensive tour of Auckland
Most of the tour was driving through the various areas of the city but other than climbing mount Eden the stops made were only to briefly take photos
At mount Eden he did make an alternative ride to the top to those unable to walk up which was excellent as my wife was able to still see the views from the top
Great city tour!

ACCLIMATE FAST & SEE THE WHOLE CITY

Super awesome tour!! First off, the guide was so patient and flexible. One of the people in our group just landed and and jumped out of the cab as the tour bus arrived ... get this he waited an extra five minutes so he wouldnt miss the tour!! He was also super considerate of the groups needs making unplanned pit stops for coffee and ice cream which was so thoughtful because the entire bus had just arrived that morning and were still acclimating. The guide was so knowledgeable and included some of his secret spots and had special access worked out for some of the group who weren't as active. We ALL got phenomenal photos ops of the city skyline. Hands down a must do!

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
