Harriet was a friendly... - Harriet was a friendly and knowledgeable guide. All the stops were beautiful, with plenty of time to enjoy and take pictures. This tour made a layover in Auckland into a little vacation in its own right!

Best tour guide - Had the best time today with Harriet. It felt like I was touring with a friend. Other tours will cancel if there aren't enough members however I loved that this wasn't the case with this booking. We went to Mount Eden, Karekare Falls, Rose Hellaby home, saw a large Kauri tree and visited the lovely Soljan estate afterwards. Harriet was quite accommodating and flexible...even took a lot of my photos for me. This tour was such a good way to start my adventures in Auckland. I will definitely be booking their services in the future, if I am fortunate enough to return.

Would recommend. Great if you have a layover or don’t have a form of transportation. - Very nice! Very well organised. Mike picked us up from our hotel, was flexible with options and explained cool facts and information about Auckland. Great way of meeting new people too.

Overall Amazing Experience! - So glad we picked this excursion while in port in Auckland. Harriet, our tour guide was fabulous. Very friendly and a great way to see the beautiful sites around this area of New Zealand. Our favourite stop was Piha Beach. With only a maximum of five guest (in our case only 4 of us), we had our own personal tour guide we made it all the better!
