Memorable Auckland Adventure

5.00Picked up from Auckland Cruise Terminal on time for a private tour. Car was spotlessly clean. We had a memorable day adventure with our knowledgeable driver TJ visiting Mount Eden, the visitor centre, Karekare and Kitekite Falls and various coastal viewpoints along the way. Our walk along South Piha beach was magical, with a bit of rock climbing, we were able to access a part of the beach that was cut off by the tide, and it was truly beautiful! Highly recommed!
Amazing tour!

5.00Amazing tour! Our guide , Mathu was so nice, personable and took us to places we would have never seen. We walked through rain forests and saw beautiful water falls! We also visited Piha beach which was amazing! Being on a private tour allowed Mathu to adjust schedule to our liking! It was also nice having our own private photographer! Highly recommend! I’d give a 10 rating if I could. Thanks again Mathu for a great day!

5.00Thank you Ricko for our fabulous Auckland City Piha Tour Private Tour yesterday. Friendly and welcoming , lovely to chat to,, absolute font of local knowledge and such care taken to ensure we all had a perfect day with a customised itinerary no problem at all. Could not recommend highly enough. 10/10 service and experience. Worth every cent and definitely would recommend over a larger bus style group tour. We will definitely be booking you again next time we are over. Thanks again.
