Informative and interesting tour which few people see - Did you know that Auckland was built on extinct volcanoes? I didn't, but I learned about it from Michael. This tour is an excellent way to get a sense of the city and its history. Michael is very knowledgeable about NZ's history, about its natural history, and about the country right now. Truly enjoyable spending the day with him and seeing Auckland from so many different vistas. Not a strenuous day but an active one; everyone should do this trip!
