Fantastic - Excellent tour for first-time travellers - sights, history. Jason was a good storyteller, knowledgeable, proud of his city, and possessed a good sense of humour that made the tour fun! He even gave tips on how to self-explore the city. I highly recommend the tour and Jason!

Great trip especially if have limited time in Auckland - Wayne was our guide and it was a really great fun and informative trip - perfectly paced but also packed a huge amount into a morning visit - we saw places and things we would never have seen as we were only inAuckland for 2 days. Would 100% recommend and Wayne also gave plenty of laughs too and obviously knows everything about the city and has a real love for it too - Go!

For a quick overview of Auckland: nothing better. - Wayne was a character who knew his stuff and enjoys his job. For a quick overview of Auckland this is the tour for you. Covered both sides of the harbour and key buildings.

Great tour to do if you don't have enough time. - The tour is short and sweet. Very knowledgeable tour guide. I booked the 3 hour tour and we were given a chance to do the afternoon as well but too bad because they can't accommodate 2 more people. It would have been a better experience for sure. Regardless though, it was a great way to get an overview of the city and take few pics along the way in a short period.

Small group City Auckland Tour - The tour with Wayne was both informative and entertaining. He had a lot of knowledge about the history of Auckland and supplemented with entertaining story-telling. All this made the heavy rain tolerable.

First time visitors to Auckland - If you are looking for quick overview of Auckland, it’s a great drive by tour. If you have mobility issues then this would be a grand tour. The guide was friendly, however to much about his personal life growing up in New Zealand around the Auckland area. I would like for him to slow down as much as possible when pointing historical or interest sites. Also, I would have heard more about the sites, history and point of interest. I know that to keep the tour interesting most guides tell jokes, his was a little overboard. The tour overall was okay
