Honestly our arrival in Auckland was not a good experience at all, but then we booked a 3 hour tour with Paul, and we were the only ones that afternoon so could really ask a lot of questions. He is very knowledgeable about history of Auckland, and as a native to Auckland, has much experience in the city. He recommended a small side trip for us to Devonport, which we enjoyed. The small bus has seen better days, but did the job, so we totally recommend this intro to Auckland.

Our guide David was excellent. We managed to get out early to catch the sunrise (and some beautiful photos) of the Matamata area around Hobbiton and were the first tour of the day (nobody else to get in your shots!) The New Zealand scenic routes were fantastic to get a taste of New Zealand outside the larger towns and David's tips were extremely helpful for where to go and what to look for at each location.

This tour was excellent. Ross was an amazing guide with a lot of information to share. We visited 4 totally different wineries and totally enjoyed the experiences and wine. I strongly recommend visitors to Napier take this tour. Ross has been in the area for a long time and is very knowledgeable about the are and particularly the local wines and wineries.

If you don't have a lot of time left and you're in hurry, go for this trip and you shouldn't be disappointed! Right, everything was kinda rushed and I just wish there was more time in Rotorua but c'mon, there's no other way to see these all places in barely one day! The guide made sure everyone is safe and sound and on time.

Very good tour. Guide was nice and helpful, often offering to take group photos. Information was good, though perhaps a little scripted. The dark beer in the green dragon was pretty decent. Overall an enjoyable, professional experience that lived up to expectations.
