No cash at Tartan's - Kelly Tartans Sea Life will NOT take cash payment. That really sucked. But the bus had free wifi and that was nice between stops. All of the bus drivers were polite and helpful!

Well worth it - Very good way to get a feel for the city of Auckland, both red and blue lines on one ticket do you get a real good view of most of the city

Excellent way to see the city. - Excellent way to see the city. Good use of time. Pre-recorded commentary was interesting and helpful. Included both intersecting routes. Not crowded. Great use of our limited time.

Service as advertised. - Straight to the point service. Would be nicer if they have an actual online timetable for all stops for the whole day. We had to roughly calculate when the next buses would arrived. Do allow approx. 1 hr for each stop. If you want to visit all stops, get the 2-day pass. Otherwise, you'll need to pick n choose with a 1-day pass.

Great to start exploring Auckland - This bus doesn't have a TON of stops but it was completely sufficient to see areas of interest and to give us a good idea of where we did/didn't want to spend more time over the next few days. As far as I'm concerned, that's what Hop On Hop Off buses are best for so this was worth it!

Great way to see the city - I love HOHO tours and on our free day in Auckland, it was a no-brainer to buy a day ticket and tour the city to see as much as we could in our short time available. I guess wait times for buses really vary depending on how many folks are using it, but we got a good day I guess. Wait times were minimal, and we were able to hop off and see a couple of sites and hop back on, no worries. I loved the Kiwi-accented audio track that played over speakers giving us background info on things, and learned a lot on our trip. For us, this was a fantastic experience.

Great Tour!! - Great tour with two lines during the summer time. The price is great and it’s very convenient to be able to hop on and off when you find something you’re interested in seeing. Brings you to the big must-sees in Auckland. Perfect for families or groups, and for people only in auckland for a few days. One of the first stops is right in downtown Auckland where most people stay which was very convenient. Great tour, my family and I loved it!
