Well paced interesting tour round special places in Auckland. Wayne was informative and entertaining. We had a spare morning in Auckland and this filled the space admirably. We’re we to return we would book more tours with this company.

Informative, fun and not strenuous half day tour with great guide and driver Murray and very efficient Bush and Beach company. We got a comprehensive overview of Auckland in a small group where nobody was overlooked. Very recommended.

Lovely relaxed morning tour excellent for seeing the highlights and getting the lay of the land with a small group of 18 people top. We lucked out with Murray, our guide and driver who told us many interesting facts about this lovely city and the nation, answered every wuestion we threw at him and graced us with a modicum of his dry and witty humor all the while driving us safely and punctually to our next stop. The whole company seems to be well run and organised, with up to 15 well kept small vans interacting to get the groups together and the various tours running on time. Recommended!

Really delivered on what was promised. Our guide (Milton?) was proud to show off his city and gave us a great tour. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a relatively quick overview of the city.

Great tour which packs a lot into 3 hours. Our guide (Michelle) was excellent, and this is a perfect tour for your first morning in Auckland.
