Auckland Private Tour

Louise our guide was great, she gave us a lot of information about Auckland. This was our first time in Auckland and we're able to get a good understanding of the city. The schedule was very flexible and we didn't feel rushed. If you're looking a private tour, I would highly recommend it.
