H, the guide was the secret to the success of the whole trip. She was warm, knowledgeable and even went out of her way to help us facilitate with Quantas to hasten following up with our lost luggage. We even went into the Auckland Museum and acted as our guide inside and explained the highlights of the pieces inside. The tour itself was just okay but as mentioned, H made everything worth the time.

Pickup and drop off at your hotel was great because we didn’t have a vehicle. We got to see things that were very interesting and hearing the history attached to each location was a bonus. The day flew by and the lunch was delicious as well. I highly recommend this tour because you will not be disappointed.

We really enjoyed our day and learned a lot about the cultures and history of New Zealand, Auckland in particular. One drawback was in the early afternoon, when we had to return to the heart of the city to pick-up half-day tourists who joined us for the PM only. This took extra time and wasn't the most useful way to spend our time. Overall, we did have a great day and I would highly recommend this tour if you know in advance that the day wouldn't be so broken-up.
