Fascinating, Amazing, Beautiful & Knowledable!! Displays and history were presented very well I spent 4 hours and I’m sure I never saw it all. It is so well done and displayed. Huge venue, a history lesson of New Zealand. love the Maoir History!! They were very inclusive of the background of the diverse history of maori! Love the fact that New Zealand is very sensitive to the colonialBackground unlike Australia. They never mentioned them in public places the first nations are erased in australia history & tours/so I was very happy about their representation in NewZealand. overwhelming weight of evidence supports the idea that Aboriginal people and their history in the photos showed at the museum

We saw a lot of the city from shoreline to the top of the volcano, and really enjoyed ourselves! Our group was very active and had no problem with riding the bikes up the steep hills along the way. The auditory help from the guide was fabulous in sharing city information as we rode, as well as literally pointing out obstacles when riding through traffic/busy areas. It had some thrilling moments and I am glad we were all experienced riders. I don't know that I would recommend to those who aren't comfortable and confident in their abilities to ride through a busy city. Ours was a fun, local, knowledgeable and overall excellent tour guide. Thanks so much!

A great way to see the city in a short space of time - we never had to wait long at our stops and the commentary was very informative- overall a great experience

Overall the easiest way to tour around the City and its outskirts and make stops to take wonderful photos and memories. We loved it! Thank you

Busses were clean and on time. Loved seeing Auckland CBD from another prospective. Great value for money! Highly recommend this tour :)
