The stunning views across the water, with Rangitoto Island — Auckland’s largest volcanic island — rising dramatically in the background, create a breathtaking panorama that is truly difficult to put into words. Take a moment to enjoy the beautiful scenery, fresh ocean air, and one of Auckland’s most picturesque coastal views.

Explore Devonport’s heritage streets and neighbourhoods, admire these unique homes, and experience a glimpse of Auckland’s rich architectural and cultural history.

Here you will experience entering the tunnel and come face to face with cannons made with the best technology of the time.

This was a great tour. It was a really good way to see some of the different areas of Auckland. Our tour guide Talia was amazing. I recommend this tour.
Great half-day city tour packing in Aukland highlights! We visited a botanical garden, Mt. Eden and got some history lessons along the way! Thanks Sam!
Excellent tour of the city that helps at stage for a great visit. Guide was very helpful and the sites great were eye-catching
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.
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.
Kamal was very helpful, friendly and professional. He really looked after the people on his tour and made sure they were able to do all of the walking and climbing up hill.
We had a very pleasant experience on our Auckland tour with Sam. He was very knowledgeable an an excellent guide. The tour was well organized and on time.
Sam our driver/guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. His commentary was great and he was able to share with us his experience. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in knowing more about Auckland and New Zealand as a destination. Thank you. Excellent service.
Our driver gave us good information all along the route. The stops all had incredible views for photo ops. recommend this tour 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.
Excellently planned and executed. Choice of transport was great! We enjoyed Sam’s choices for us. Very nice!
A nice small group, tour guide (Sam) was very friendly and knowledgeable. We visited some very interesting locations and had a wonderful time.
We had a good tour, it was on a Saturday and traffic was very slow. Saw many different areas of Auckland. Unfortunately we had a passenger with a persistent cough, and the Air Condition was set too low, so consequently my partner now has a cold.
Excellent 1/2 day tour with Sam - interesting commentary throughout and some spectacular sights of Auckland and its surrounding areas.
We had a wonderful morning tour with Sam. He was very gracious and accommodating. We saw a lot of Auckland (a very beautiful city). We would highly recommend this tour!
We did the Auckland City half-day tour this morning and was lucky enough to enjoy a private car and tour guide with Sam while soaking up the most beautiful views from around the city. From driving over the Auckland Harbour Bridge to Devonport, North Head and Mount Eden (Auckland’s highest volcanic peak) with panoramic city views, finishing at the Winter Gardens Auckland Domain. Sam was incredibly informative, and we enjoyed every moment of the experience.
Sam was an amazing and knowledgeable guide. He made our Auckland experience really nice. 10/10 would recommend.
Sam was a great guide and flexible with the starting time as my ship was delayed. I loved the small group and bus (5 guests). Sam covered everything as advertised. Highly recommended.
Sam did an excellent job driving us around Auckland. We had plenty of time to explore the beautiful city. Our stops were so picturesque. We got wonderful photos. I would highly recommend this tour!
I had a great time in discovering Auckland through this tour guide with David. David was a great host and was proactive in taking photos. We had also had a very good and funny group of people, two older ladies from the US and a young gentleman from Hawaii who were all friendly and positive. Highly recommended to anyone looking to explore Auckland without the planning and administration involved.
We had a wonderful morning tour in Auckland. We liked the Devonport, Mt. Eden. The winter garden is amazing with colourful flowers. Our guide David was very kind and nice, took a lot of pictures of us.
