About this activity

Our guide Keri was one in a million! We learned Maori culture through her wisdom throughout our 8 hours!
Very nice tour with informative guide. Cultural dance show was nice, museum was awesome! Lunch was delicious and comfortable outdoor seating at restaurant. Beaches and waterfall and local scenery were breathtaking. Tasting honey was a nice touch.
A must do tour! We loved it, we wanted to visit a number of locations that weren’t accessible via public transport and this tour included them all. Ceillhe and Peter were fantastic and very knowledgeable. Ceillhe’s passsion and knowledge was impressive and really made sure we were well taken care of. Kia ora!
This was an amazing experience. I would definitely go on tour again. The Maori guide was friendly, took us to a great restaurant and was very cognizant of the time effortlessly moving us from place to place without feeling rushed.
Can I give this 6 stars? Ceillhe made Auckland really come alive. She told us about its history and the Maori history of the city. We saw amazing views and heard great stories about the city. I could not recommend her enough! I never felt rushed, and I felt like we got to see some amazing Auckland sites.
