We’ll pick you up from your hotel and explore the city’s most iconic and scenic spots. Wander through the lively shopping precincts of Commercial Bay and Britomart, then stroll through Albert Park’s historic gardens. Smell the blooms at Parnell Rose Garden before visiting Auckland Domain, home to native trees and the Auckland Museum.
Take in panoramic views from the top of Mount Eden, Auckland’s highest volcanic cone, then treat yourself to a classic New Zealand pie from the famous Mt Eden Bakery. Time permitting, we’ll also visit the peaceful Cornwall Park, next to One Tree Hill.

5.00Graham picked us up at our hotel and dropped us off at the airport, which made it possible for us to do this tour, as we had an early evening flight. We so appreciated his service. Graham was very knowledgeable and has great love for his city of Auckland. We enjoyed his company and his presentation. Many thanks!
Excellent tour of Auckland and 360 view from Eden volcano!

5.00Jojo was an encyclopedia of knowledge about beautiful Auckland - its history, origins and development as a city. Thoughtful and interesting tour of the harbor front, various neighborhoods, marinas, and natural history. The highlight was the hike up to the Mt Eden volcano - stunning 360 views. Highly recommend!
Great Friendly tour guide and tour

5.00We enjoyed our tour very much. Dean was very knowledgeable and he wanted to make sure we had the best experience. Coming from Seattle it was nice to have a driver we could all understand. The climb to Mt. Eden was challenging for us oldies 66-70, but we made it and the view was phenomenal! We’d do it again especially if Dean was our guide!
Fantastic Tour of Auckland

5.00Graeme was a fantastic guide with a wonderful, gracious nature. He told wonderful stories and was a wealth of information. Prior to our trip, Graeme and I communicated several times and he was so thorough and responsive to my questions and our needs. He was willing to make adjustments to the tour so that we could be dropped off at Mt. Eden for dinner and a sunset climb. Our family all wanted to spend more time with him and we were grateful for his time and energy.
Fantastic tour

5.00Absolutely best way to explore Auckland! Graeme is a great owner/guide with a fantastic knowledge of his subject. We had so much fun in the tuktuk enjoying all his narrative about the sights and the funny ride in the electric tuktuk. We definitely want to recommend him and his company for all the tours he has. We were happily surprised that the tour was way longer than what we had paid for. A BIG kudos to Graeme and thank you so much!
Great experience!

5.00Our tour guide Dean was very informative and really made sure that we are comfortable and enjoying ourselves. The history of the how the city is built is very interesting. This tour is highly recommended.
Great way to see the city in a short amount of time!

5.00We spent our long weekend in Auckland, and decided to go on the 1-hour City Sprint Tuk-Tuk Tour as we had limited time to see and do things. Would definitely recommend! Our guide was very accommodating and very informative, although the weather wasn’t great (raining) and visibility a bit low on certain landmarks it was still a great tour. Also, rather than taking us directly back to our hotel at the end of the tour, our guide happily dropped us off at the Auckland Art Gallery with no bother, and we had a wonderful time at the gallery. Another must-do when in Auckland. All in all a great last day in the city!
