We had an incredible tour with Donna through this agency. She is so knowledgeable about the history of New Zealand and is very passionate about telling the stories about this great Country. She even brought us samples of different honeys and Vegemite lite to taste. She is very personable and easy to talk to. She answered all of our questions and made the entire tour an adventure!! Thanks so much, Donna!!!

We did the Auckland Highlights Luxury Tour and it was absolutely fantastic and worth every penny! We were greeted by our friendly and super cool host Donna who was everything you’d want in a host and more. We thoroughly enjoyed her driving, knowledge, company, and just all round vibe! Manaakitanga lives strongly with people like Donna! The ride was very comfortable, not over booked at all, 3 couples in a 9 seater van is just perfect, so everyone was happy! Not to mention the amazing snack basket that’s there for you as well. Savory, sweet, plain, simple options that would make most people happy. As I constant water sipper, it was such a comfort having access to water whenever necessary. The choice of places we stopped at were really cool! A nice mixture of urban culture and traditional culture, of which we ended up learning so much from. For me personally it allowed me to bridge a few gaps regarding the amazing Māori culture with the rest of Aotearoa! You wouldn’t believe the views you’ll get on this tour. If you want to be humbled at the marvel of Aotearoa’s beauty, this is an excellent tour choice for the TIME crunched traveler (pun intended 😂) We even stopped at a lovely little chocolate shop that is totally worth it! Also the lovely Donna gave us the absolute best recommendation for food where we finished the tour. We ended up at DEPOT at SkyCity Tower and have hands down the best meal through our whole trip. Bone marrow,Snapper sliders,Fresh oysters, Cucumber salad amazing. Desert sugar pie and skillet cookie,amazing. The staff were so cute and helpful , really added to the amazing food. Also if you’re a fan of the daily show, I think Grace Kuhlenschmidt’s kiwi twin works there! 😂 Thank you Donna!! ❤️ If you made it this far, I’ve convinced you that this is the tour you want. Otherwise, THIS IS THE TOUR YOU WANT.

From ancient roots to modern day - the sights and the story - inspiringly and enthusiastically shared by our wonderful guide, Donna. We were like family at the end of a fantastic day.

We had an amazing tour with Curtis throughout the Waitomo Caves and Hobbiton. He was thoughtful, informative, friendly, and incredibly attentive throughout the tour. Curtis went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time. We would highly recommend for anyone looking to explore the incredible sights in NZ.

Harry is such an incredible tour guide! We learned so much about the Māori people and their culture. He knew all the spots and history, and helped personalize the tour just for us. We feel so knowledgeable after a day with him, and we truly enjoyed his company and expertise. Highly recommended booking a tour with Time Unlimited, and specifically with Harry if you can!

Donna was our guide on Saturday, October 19. She is absolutely charming and so knowledgable of everything Maori. The entire day was molded by our interests and could not have been more special. Harry was our guide on Monday, October 21. Unfortunately, I wasn't feeling well. So, he found a clinic that would accept me and I was able to see a doctor. He even gave them his personal information as a local contact. We spent about 4 hours there. Then, since he was concerned that we had missed an excursion he was able to get us into another one the following evening. We HIGHLY recommend TIME UNLIMITED TOURS to everyone who is planning to visit New Zealand.

This was an exceptional tour from start to finish. Curtis picked us up at the M Social in Auckland in a classy Mercedes van, clean, well stocked with everything we needed. He introduced himself and gave us a bit about his family and then proceeded down the road to Hobbiton with lots of local lore and helpful background information. He was kind, considerate, and informative attending to our every need. The Hobbiton experience itself was way above our expectations with spectacular views, detailed realistic hobbit hole sets and settings, amusing and helpful tour guide walking us through the Shire. For a Lord of the Ring buff, it was a dream come true and I recommend it for all fans of the movies by Peter Jackson on the Tolkien tales. Curtis courteously dropped us off in Rotarua but first gave us some helpful tips on local eating and visiting. He also was well informed about New Zealand travel in general and gave us more info on our flights and tours to the South Island in upcoming days. Overall, 5 STARS!!

I searched online for a private tour to two specific destinations around Aukland, the Waitomo Caves and Hobbiton. Time Unlimited offered the services so chose them. I was sent texts and messages via Tripadvisor to confirm details. It sort of put me at ease because it helped confirm that the date and time was correct for the booking. We were picked up promptly at our hotel in Aukland by John. One of the most incredible tour guides I have had. I've done private tours in other countries and John is exceptional and knowledgeable. My party was taken to both sites in a comfortable car with lots of room and plenty of snacks! When we reached our destination I felt like a VIP the way John handled the entrance of Waitomo and Hobbiton. Since we were able to complete the tour on the early side he drove us around the city of Aukland which was a bonus. I would definitely recommend Time Unlimited for anyone looking for a tour in Aukland, and would love to thank John for making our experience memorable.

Donna was our tour guide and she was remarkable. We not only saw incredible places, ate a wonderful lunch, but learned everything we wanted to know about the New Zealand culture. I highly recommend this organization, and especially Donna!

We had a very rainy day today-and Donna made it a very fun day! She is incredibly knowledgeable about the culture, plants, animals, history-she was amazing. It was a great day, the lunch was amazing, and it was overall nice getting to know the other people in our group. Donna encouraged us to ask questions, she never seemed rush and was totally prepared with umbrellas! Thank you!!!

It was a fun and informative tour! Curtis, our guide, did an excellent job! He provided lots of information, was happy to answer any questions, and suggested other highlights for our time in New Zealand

We can’t say enough about the day spent with Ceillhe! We were driven in total comfort from our Auckland hotel to Waitomo caves, completely immersed in Ceillhe’s narratives about the history, lands and particularly the culture of the areas we passed through. We were totally in synch with the private tour of the Waitomo caves thanks to great communication between the two. Following the caves we continued on, with a stop for lunch, to Rotorua. We learned more about Māori history, culture and present day situations during this drive than we did the next 2 days touring Rotorua!

My husband and I had a 3 day tour with Curtis. Everything we experienced and saw was top-notch for our first visit to New Zealand. It was quite exciting to be in a part of the world that we knew nothing about other than a little bit on T.V. He was so knowledgeable, informative, and just had a very easygoing, fun personality. We saw so many things in such a short time, breathtaking coastline and rock formations, a visit to the Lost Spring to soak in their hot pools, a winery, experienced some great local spots for lunch, and just all the natural, green beauty of this amazing country. It could have been overwhelming, but Curtis broke it all down for us and we learned so much from him. The van ride was quite comfortable, there were snacks and drinks available for us, and I don't think I would have changed a thing. This was a great company to work with for sure.

THANK YOU CURTIS!!!!!!!!!!!! We were lucky enough to spend the first two days of our honeymoon with Curtis and he did not disappoint. He was an incredible driver and incredible company. He went above and beyond to tailor everything to our interests including food and activities. He set the tone for our 2.5 week trip and are so grateful.

Our day touring the area was a major highlight of our time in New Zealand. The views of Auckland and our visit to Takatunga/Mount Victoria were made special with the commentary provided by our Māori guide, Breviss. We learned so much about Māori history and culture. After a fabulous lunch, we travelled to the west coast and visited the beautiful Piha Beach. One of the most memorable stops on the way back to Auckland was seeing a 1,000 year old kauri tree. It was breathtaking! These are memories we will carry with us forever.
