A fantastic way to get to know Auckland
A fantastic way to get to know Auckland. Drivers were friendly and helpful. The audio commentary was good but we were lucky and at one point our driver (the 'Pink Lady') gave us an additional personal commentary including insights from her time driving this tour. Buses are clean and provide a good view of the sights, Highly recommend this tour to start your Auckland experience!
