Honestly our arrival in Auckland was not a good experience at all, but then we booked a 3 hour tour with Paul, and we were the only ones that afternoon so could really ask a lot of questions. He is very knowledgeable about history of Auckland, and as a native to Auckland, has much experience in the city. He recommended a small side trip for us to Devonport, which we enjoyed. The small bus has seen better days, but did the job, so we totally recommend this intro to Auckland.

Paul has great local knowledge and nothing was too much trouble. He was punctual and went out of his way to accommodate us. The whole tour was well worth the money and we would never have seen as much if we had done the tour on our own. We weren't rushed at any stage, so able to spend enough time to explore if we chose to. there were plenty of opportunities for refreshments and toilet stops.

Our guide was informative and friendly, giving guests constant opportunities to ask questions and chat about what we saw. Tour route was very scenic and enjoyable with very good rest stops along the way. Small group tour with a range of participants from around the world who all enjoyed the tour together thanks to the experience and excellent communication skills of the guide.

Paul is a great driver, who extended a v.warm, friendly welcome to all onboard. Good way to get ur bearings of d city, in a small group environment. While Paul's weather report about d rain was slightly off, all was forgiven as he provided us wt umbrellas to use while we climbed Mt Eden, & d view was well worth d climb.

Paul was an excellent tour guide, and also kindly collected us from our hotel at the start of the tour. We enjoyed the sight seeing and allocated stops to look around and take photos of beautiful Auckland. We would definitely recommend this tour to others.
