Auckland in a pinch, but greater than a nutshell.

Wow! What a wonderful tour of Auckland. Talia gave us a condensed version of Auckland that every visitor should experience. We visited, downtown, Holy Trinity Cathedral, Memorial Museum drive by and grounds, Domain Winter Gardens, Mount Eden, North Eden Gun Placement, North Shore Ward and Westhaven Yacht Marina. Needless to say Heritage homes and the AUCKLAND BRIDGE. Thank You Talia!! And, thanks for Sem.

Great exposure to the area

Despite some lousy weather and low clouds obstructing the views, Q gave us the best tour we could possibly expect given the circumstances. He even went back when Weather cleared a bit to be sure we saw the best side of this beautiful island.

Gorgeous Panoramas of Auckland

A great way to see highlights of Auckland and gorgeous panoramas. Our guide Sam contacted us in advance with specific details for pick up. He was prompt, friendly, courteous and very informative, sharing enough fun facts without info overload. We were blessed with beautiful sunny weather so the overlooks were stunning. Having a comfortable van and only six guests was a big plus! Didn’t get to see the cathedral but the rest made up for it. Only tip would be to bring your own water, would have helped on this warm day especially after the hike up Mt Eden. Overall a wonderful half day tour that started and ended right on time.
