About this activity
Get a real feel for Auckland. It's geography, history, sights, and our way of life.

This is a very comprehensive tour and we pack a lot into the 4 hours.

Following pick-up from your central city hotel, or from our convenient downtown departure point, we head down to our Waterfront area and visit the Viaduct Basin, Wynyard Quarter and Westhaven Marina, where sometimes we see Bungy Jumpers, jumping off the Harbour Bridge.

We travel over the Harbour Bridge to the Victorian suburb of Northcote Point, for a fantastic view back to the city. Great place for a photo.

We continue on through the very groovy area of Ponsonby with it's fantastic cafes, fashion boutiques, and eclectic and unique shops. 

Next it's through the infamous "K Rd", and up to the top of Mt Eden Volcano for dramatic views of the city.

We drive past the Auckland Domain and Auckland Museum next.Through Parnell, on our way out to the Eastern Beaches of Mission Bay, and St Heliers where we stop at Achilles Point, for a wonderful view over the Hauraki Gulf. 

This tour is Owner Operated, and the commentary is detailed, full of insights from a local perspective and delivered with humor.

We had a great time with Michael. Very informative and his suggestions for restaurants, activities and such were spot on. Highly recommend as a way to get to know Auckland and the New Zealand driving rules when it's not the same where you come from.

Perfect way to see the city if you arent able to spend a lot of time touring. Amazing. Funny driver, Michael, thank you for all cities.

I was the only person on the tour, probably because it was off season. Michael was a great guide. He was knowledgeable and personable. Thanks for a wonderful introduction to the city!

Michael was very helpful, courteous and informative. On our half day tour, he took us to all the sights which we were hoping to see and more. We especially appreciated the place he took us to which gave us a view of the city across the water. He picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel, which was a great help. We would highly recommend this tour (and Michael) to anyone wanting to see Auckland in a short period of time. Thanks very much.

We took this tour with a 2 year old. Mike was super friendly, nice and caringg. He made us totally comfortable in his van. He is very knowledgeable about the city and NZ, has a good sense of humor. Very organized, well of time, and all the popular places in Auckland city are covered just in half day. One other amazing thing about Mike: We had lost a jewelry in the van. When I contacted the following day, even though he had a tour going on, he went out of his way and coordinated in such a manner that we got it back. We were very touched by this. Thanks a lot!

Mike was very knowledgeable and very pleasant. Provided a good overview of Auckland and its history. His minivan was very nice and offered a convenient way to tour the City.

We were emailed beforehand to be offered either a collection from our hotel or at a set meeting point. Michael met us outside our hotel on time and called us by name. He was very approachable and quite quickly identified our prefered style, as he did with all the group. We were in a group of six. The four other people were picked up at their agreed point. Michael drove and provided a constant explanation of what we were seeing, its history and features via an amplified address system so all could clearly hear. He pointed out points of interest and enhanced his dialogue with interesting anecdotes. We saw far more of Auckland than we could have without a guide. You don’t know what you don’t know. We travelled over a wide area of the city and to a number of locations inaccessible to larger coaches etc. Michael was keen to please and fulfill our wishes. At the end of the tour he dropped us off in the shopping area having first checked if the shop we wanted was open. We would recommend this trip and guide.

Excellent Trip. Worth more than what I spent. It was more due to the fact of our compassionate and erudite guide Michel who was always busy pumping and showering information to let us educate about the culture, economy and society of Auckland. I would recommend every Auckland visitor to avail this opportunity.
