So Many Sights in One Day - What a wonderful tour for seeing a huge amount in a short time. In 8 hours, we were able to visit multiple scenic vistas, had two different wine tastings, enjoyed a fabulous lunch, and walked on a blacl sand beach, all while seeing the full breadth of Auckland. Karthik was a knowledgeable and friendly guide who did his utmost to make sure we had a great time. The snack and drink bags provided at the beginning of the tour were the cherry on top of this experience. Highly recommended.

Well worth it. - There were 6 of us in a van which was great! Our tour guide was fabulous. Non stop information for 8 hours. Van was new and comfortable. We even got a goody bag with drinks and food. Saw everything and learned so much. from beaches to wineries to upscale suburbs and history.

Driving around Auckland - Very informative and relaxed trip all around Auckland with Karthik our tour guide. We visited many many points of interest and two wineries for amazing food and wine samples. Karthik was fun, easygoing, and very knowledgeable about all the attractions. A great way to learn about Auckland without the hassle of driving.

Five Older Americans Enjoying Auckland - Had a great tour. Although Muriwai Gannet Colony was cancelled due to the cyclone, Karthik offered a second wine tour in its place. He provided a nice bag of snacks for us as he gave us a comprehensive tour of Auckland and all of its sites. The wine tours were great with excellent wine. Karthik is very knowledgeable of the area and gave us lots of opportunities to take photos and visit the sites.

Amazing! - We had a WONDERFUL time on our tour! Karthik was great, he had a lot of detailed information about Auckland to share with us. We stopped several times to visit lookouts, a beach, marinas, and a beautiful rose garden. We visited two different wineries, and tasted some superior local wines paired with a tasty snack and took short walk around the vineyard - it was beautiful. We highly recommend Karthik!
