This was an excellent way to see a lot of Auckland in one jam-packed day! Mike was an awesome tour guide, driver and human being! And a lot of fun, too😁. His energy and enthusiasm was contagious! We had a small group, which was great. We had a chance to chat and get to know something about our traveling companions. We got lots of photo ops and Mike played photographer, too! We saw highlights of Auckland and a lot of the area around the city. I would highly recommend this tour!!!

Great way to see the area without walking, much. Wine tasking was a hit with my husband who bought a couple of bottles to take home. Greg, our tour guide was very accommodating and knowledgeable. The fish and chips I chose for lunch was to die for and the special trip to get gelato for desert make it a perfect meal. Thank you Greg for providing a memorable day trip.

Mike did a wonderful job showing us all the beautiful spots in Auckland. Our group of 8 friends saw an extinct volcano with great views of the city, did wine tasting, had a great lunch on a picturesque river and had lots of laughs with Mike. Thanks for a great day!

Wow, what a fabulous tour. We weren't too sure how it would go as i was travelling with my Mum who isn't well atm. Mike did everything in his power to ensure we saw everything we could and Mum was catered for with her mobility issues. Thank you Mike, it was a highlight of our trip!
