        Fun and informative!
        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

        Highly recommended
        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!

        Fantastic 3 Day Tour
        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.

        Time Unlimited Tours - Truly Remarkable!
        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.

        Time Unlimited Tours - The Very Best with Neill
        The tour of Waitomo Caves showed off their beautiful columns of stalagmites and stalactites. The colors and shapes were extraordinary. The cave is well known for its glow worms and for good reason - they are quite an unusual sight when the lights are turned off for us to get a good look. As much as we enjoyed the tour, our tour guide for the day, Neill, made the day very memorable. The ride to the caves from Auckland took about an hour and a half. Along the way and after, Neill was a great conversationalist and we enjoyed a wide range of topics. In addition, he stopped on the way back to treat us at his favorite cheese and candy shop and then to a sandwich shop for lunch. Without a doubt, one of our best tours - all due to Neill. We would recommend Neill at Time Unlimited Tours wholeheartedly!!

        Feeling second class
        Our first morning in Auckland, we did a City tour, with Tme Unlimited, to get a feel for the City. Although the tour itself was very interesting, and we stopped at several good viewpoints, and were given some excellent information about the city, unfortunately we were only doing half, of what seemed to e a full-day tour for most people. As a result, we felt a bit 'second class', with the guide constantly saying things like, "This afternoon we will be..." We were even told that we had to 'sit at the back of the minibus, as we were only doing the the morning tour'!

        ANOTHER GREAT DAY TOUR WITH TIME UNLIMITED AND CURTIS!
        We had a lovely day with the personable and professional Curtis as our guide, exploring the Waitekere Ranges before enjoying lunch at a craft brewery and a nice wine tasting in Kumeu Country. Although we weren't able to get to the spectacular gannet colony at Murawai (which we had been fortunate enough to have visited some years ago) because the access road was under repair, Curtis provided a wonderful amended itinerary. He also graciously accommodated our request for a brief stop at Mount Eden on the return journey, putting the icing on the cake! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tour (and certainly Curtis!) to anyone.

        A FABULOUS FULL DAY WITH A GREAT TOUR GUIDE!
        This was an excellent day tour - both sites were absolutely amazing as was the lovely scenery of the North Island. What really made the day, however, was our guide, Curtis, a knowledgeable, charming, and engaging host, as well as a highly skilled driver. Thank you, Curtis, for a wonderful time! We would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

        A Day of Learning
        The full day tour allowed us to sample a broad variety of natural sites (an ancient kauri tree and the black sand beaches of Piha), the city of Auckland (the actively modernizing central business district and the yacht marina), and a distinctive take on the history and politics of New Zealand from a Māori cultural perspective. Breviss Wolfgramm guided us, dealing with the three very diverse couples on our tour, giving time and attention to cover all of our interests. He also offered recommendations for museums and restaurants to visit during our remaining time in Auckland. We're grateful to TIME Unlimited for the opportunity to spend a day in an active learning experience. Lunch at the Winter Garden was also very pleasant.

        Faboulous Day Trip
        We had a fantastic day first day in Auckland. Our guide was wonderful and we learned so much about the city, Maori culture and surrounding area. The views of the city were beautiful and the rainforest and beach were breathtaking. It was a great way to kick off our trip to New Zealand!

        An exceptional learning experience every tourist should take.
        Breviss was the perfect tour guide. He was jovial and charismatic. He knew his audience and how to make sure they had a good time. The tour is an all day event. Breviss picked us up and took us to see some of the historic sites in Auckland. Every place he took us had an epic view of either the ocean or the city. We ate at great restaurant before heading off on a drive to see the beach. Snacks and water were available throughout the trip. At each stop Breviss gave us a bit of history for the location and endeavored to teach us a few words in Maori. He made it a welcoming environment to ask questions about both the Maori culture and their history. We learned a great deal about the culture and Breviss spoke with clear passion about the challenges faced by the Maori people; both in their colonial past and in the present. You really couldn't ask for a more entertaining and informative tour of New Zealand in such a short time. The trip itself does last the whole day from 9am until approximately 4:30pm. But it was well worth the time and money.

        Excellent day
        A great day trip in the hands of our wonderful guide Kirsty. Saw all the relevant sites in Rotorua and the Te Puia geothermal and Māori experience is a must. Exceptional little touches with water and snacks in the Mercedes people carrier. Whilst Te Puia was an extra charge you can tailor your day to suit your own preferences. Overall great value for a private 11 hour trip.

        Luxury in Touring and Education
        We had engaged Ceillhe and Neill before Covid and finally 4 years later we got to Auckland and it was worth the wait. We spent over three days and two nights on tour, from Auckland, to Rotura, to Hobbiton, to Sanctuary Mountain. We had the best care, We enjoyed the luxury, the education, and the care that was provided. The tour was personalized for us. We learned of New Zealand, its peopls including the Maori (Ceillhe is Maori). We highly recommend this tour, but only if you want the best. We met Neill and Ceillhe as Tour Guides, we left them as family. Our highest recommenmdation Alex and Madelyn
