Auckland Private City Tour. Cruise port or Hotel pick up.
Description
The city of sails has much to offer. At first I give you an overview of our place in the Pacific from the top of Mount Eden with magnificent 360 degree views of Auckland City. We continue through the Auckland Domain with the Auckland Museum. We continue with a drive through the suburb of Parnell, restored in the old colonial style and with many beautiful shops and galleries. If time allows we pay a visit to Holy Trinity Cathedral and the unique St. Marys Church. From here we drive along the waterfront of Tamaki Drive to see several of the stunning beaches along Auckland's shoreline. Enroute you will have beautiful vistas of Auckland’s youngest volcano, Rangitoto and you will learn about the vibrant past and present of Auckland’s isthmus, or Tamaki Makauru like the indigenous people named this site. More recent sights include the Harbour Bridge and the newly developed Wynyard Quarter from which you will have stunning sea views.

Tour locations and vehicle were great! Mike, our guide and driver, was excellent and fun. Good way to start our trip to Auckland with this four hour tour.
Mike did a good job touring us around the city and talking about the history of the various places. At the end he gave us the option of staying at the wharf and getting back via the ferry boat on our own, which was actually a good idea, because we got to spend more time off the ship, instead of having to rush back because he has other bookings for the remainder of the day.
