Very nice guide; his...

Very nice guide; his English is basic, but we understand him well. Some sites are interesting (Mount Eden, Winter garden), others less so (MJ Savage Memorial Park). The price is excessive since none of the tours are paid.

Auckland in a day

Our tour was fantastic. Se Mok was a great tour guide. Even though there was a set of sites to visit he was able to adjust the itinerary based on our interests. A great value and a great day. Also, we felt as though we had our own personal photographer with pictures suitable for framing. He even provided water.
