We were the only couple on this particular tour of Aukland, New Zealand. It lasted about 2 1/2 hours and cvered many major sights and areas of the city and its surrounding areas. There were a number of photo stops from different sides of the city's waterways, hills, and historic sights.

Nice review, but it's not for my tour. My tour covers the described " many major sights and surrounding areas", but lasts for 3.5 to 4 hours.

Great way to get a glimpse of the city and learn a little about the area. A small bus keeps the atmosphere cosy and friendly. Tour guide Michael was full of information and great company as well. 100% recommend this one for a few hours of site seeing fun. Thanks so much.

Michael is a fun and knowledgeable guide. Took us to all the must-see sights and some sights you might not get to on your own. He is able to make accommodations for those who might not be able to hike to the top of Mt Eden, so you won't miss out. That was a fantastic bonus! The only (very minor) criticism is not being able to stop at more places on the road through the Eastern beaches. But then there's only so much you can do in a half-day. And it just whets your appetite to explore more on your own.

We loved this tour around Auckland. We arrived by Cruise Ship and only had 8 hours in the city, so this was the perfect tour for us. Our driver (sorry have forgotten his name) was lovely and very friendly and informative. He talked the whole time providing heaps of information about the City. All our stops were great and we saw a lot in our half day tour. Would definitely recommend this tour.

My friend and I did this tour on Sunday 3rd March and really enjoyed it. We saw so much more of the city than if we’d attempted to do it all ourselves. Michael was very friendly and genuine. We really enjoyed his commentary throughout the tour, including his funny stories about his family. He greeted everyone by name and was extremely accommodating, even stopping off at places people requested for coffee/food stops. A lot of the city was covered, with some really nice photo stops. We much prefer doing smaller, local tours like this rather than in massive coach loads, as you definitely get a better feel for the place and aren’t herded around. Thanks Michael for making us feel so welcome in your city!

I booked this tour along with the rest of our party of 6 not really sure whether I would find the tour of the city so attractive. How wrong I was! This was a full afternoon of total interest delivered by the driver/owner of the company Michael, ina relaxed, welcoming, humorous, thoroughly knowledgeable, yet totally passionate way.

This tour offers you views of the city you probably wouldn't even think of visiting if you are only visiting the city for a short time. We were in Auckland for 3 days having visited the city 2 years prior for 3 days. We saw sights we wouldn't have seen and learned things about the city that we just wouldn't have been aware of.
The view of the Bay bridge from underneath, and across the city by the Westhaven Marina, the view from the edge of the extinct volcano rim Mt Eden- across the city and down to Eden Park- absolutely stunning. Visiting the city suburbs such as Ponsonby and learning something about the nature of the area and how it has changed and how it is developing. The city's leafy parks and the historical buildings the city at leisure on a Sunday afternoon when we did our trip. Just when we thought we had exhausted Michael's surprises he crept up on us and finished the day off with a late afternoon drive to Kohimarama Beach. What a view! Micheal will entertain you but also care for all members of his party. Onthe day we went there was a very large "cruise lady" from the USA who was dominating not only the front seat but attempting to speak over Michael. How Michael kept his kool and his patience whilst the rest of the bus behind her wanted to lynch her I don't know but he did!
VERY comfortable mini coach excellent driver totally enjoyable --TRY IT!

I opted to to take this tour since the free walking tour isn't back in season yet ...... and I'm sure glad I did. Michael Silvey was our guide(and is the owner) and has a perfect personality for being a tour guide(no, I'm not getting a kickback). He will take you to places the locals know and love. Yes, you'll go over the Harbour Bridge and by the Auckland Museum, but also places like Ponsonby and the Fish Market(and the places there for great, inexpensive fresh fish meals) and several Victorian neighborhoods. Michael goes into those interesting stories that locals know and that you'll only get in personal tours. The tour lasts about 4 hours and I booked it from the Harbour Information Centre at the Ferry Building(they were offering a special for $99 which included this tour and another one to Davenport). Yes, he'll make convenient restroom breaks(I've been on some that never do). Michael has that great New Zealander attitude and humor that I've grown to appreciate.

This half day Auckland tour was nice. Michael was super friendly and gave a good few hour tour. It was wonderful to see the local area and get lots of information about it. I wish we did and got to see a bit more, but I also understand that this is only a half-day tour. Overall, I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see and hear about the local area.

I booked this tour because I wasn't in town for very long and had left it too late get on a full day one. I'm glad I did. Michael was great. Really knowledgeable, humourous and it was a mixed bag of things we saw and did. This tour helped me get my bearings of the city and informed some of the things I did with the rest of my time. Great value for money. I would definitely recommend this booking to anyone visiting with not alot of time, or bags of it.
