This was worth the money. We had a nice overview of several parts of the city. Our guide was good. We had plenty of time at each stop to wander around and take photographs without feeling rushed. Auckland is a beautiful city.

Murray was a guide for the day and showed us all the highlights of Auckland proper. He shared a lot of history of the area and is really knowledgeable. I also appreciated the tour of the various neighborhoods and really gave us an idea of the area near the beaches. Highly recommend this tour.

It was a very comprehensive tour in a mini van with 15 passengers provided by Bush & Beach. Terry, the guide and native Kiwi, provided much info about real estate, Māori culture and general history of Auckland. It was a very enjoyable 3 hours.
