Auckland. An alternative to ships tours. - Mike was an excellent tour guide. Nothing was a problem, and everything was carefully explained. Very good overview of Auckland, its history and its present day status. I would recommend this tour to anyone, particularly as an alternative to somewhat overpriced ships tours.

Auckland City & Surrounds Tour - A very comprehensive tour of Auckland by a knowledgeable and accomodating driver guide. Despite some rain and heavy traffic, David the guide was able to get us to places which we wouldn’t have known about.
