"Great way to see Auckland. Nice choice of stops to take pictures. Mount Victoria was a highlight and the beach."

"Terrible weather - but great company, excellent tour guide and delicious wines! Thanks John for a great day! ☺️"

"We had a wonderful trip with David. He was very knowledgeable and would answer any questions we had. Took us all over Auckland and the back country. Took us to a wonderful place for fish and chips. Couldn't ask for a better day or driver"

"We learned a lot about the city and saw many amazing neighborhoods. I would have liked to explore a little into the outskirts of the city, but thoroughly enjoyed the day."

"Wonderful tour. Grant, our driver, was very knowledgeable and keen about safety. There were 16 ppl in out group with different plans for the day, and Grant managed it all perfectly. I chose to go to Te Puia and take the rest of the day free at the charming town of Rotorua. I love it."

"We had the best time with Karthik. There was only 4 of us on the tour. It was so much better with a smaller tour group. Karthik was very knowledgeable of the area and he was very personable. If we come back to Auckland. Would definitely go on a tour with Karthik tour company - Experience Kart."

"If you truly want to see Auckland this is the tour. Hop on hop off don’t take you to areas that offer spectacular views. Mt Eden and one tree hill aren’t on other tours. The operator Karth is also the owner. Small luxurious van. He is extremely knowledgeable and accommodating to the visitors."

"Gita is an excellent driver and tour guide. She took us to different spots and knew the history on everything. We had a great tour."

"If you’re a fan of middle earth, I highly recommend visiting, you learn a lot about the set and why it was chosen in that location, as well as moments from the film"

"Cam was an awesome tour guide. The day went as planned.Hobbiton is a really well maintained attraction."

"Avi was very attentative and the tour was great with the tuk tuk being able to go places no other vehicle can reach. We had a brilliant time and would recommend to all."

"This experience was awesome! Sharma was a great guide and an amazing person. We were able to see some places that are not usual tours from Auckland. Additionally, we were able to add a location to the package so that we could do a geothermal walk. We would recommend this package to anyone. Great places to see, great prices, a great guide, and an overall wonderful day."

"We had the best day wine tasting and sightseeing with John. This is our first visit to New Zealand and this tour gave us a great introduction to the beautiful countryside and wine. The wineries had excellent wines and lunch was delicious. We even fit in a stop for ice cream. We highly recommend this tour."

"I went with my friend, recommend bringing snacks and signing up for more than one activity. The tour guide was great."

"Wow! This excursion was just so wonderful! Gesa was very knowledgeable and gracious. The shore, cliffs, and beach were beautiful. A cup of hot tea while overlooking Maukatia Bay was so lovely. The Muriwai Gannet Colony was an easy walk and we were able to observe them so closely. The hike in the rainforest on the Quarry Track was so lush, green, and peaceful. Gesa was very flexible and kind to my 88-year-old mother. It allowed me to explore a bit while she kept mom company and Mom adored her. I wholeheartedly recommend this excursion. If you are visiting New Zealand, this is everything you pictured it would be. The individual tour is so worth the price. You will not be disappointed."

"This was an extremely interesting excursion. Te Puia was the vest cultural center we have seen. The welcoming ceremony and performance inside were very well done and informative. The sacred artwork and Māori educational center were fantastic. The geysers were beautiful. Seeing a kiwi was a check on the bucket list. The lunch was delicious, lots of choices with vegan options. Our driver was great. We learned a lot about the Māori culture and appreciated all they shared it was extremely interesting. I would definitely recommend this tour!"

"Worth every dollar! What a perfect trip this was. We were picked up on time in a very comfortable SUV which had comfortable pillows and light Wei blankets for comfort. The guide Kristi was wonderful. She is part native Māori and spent travel time telling us about her culture. When we arrives for tour she organized our lunch so it would be ready after the tour and kept it and purchase at store safe while we took tour. Hobbit town was so cute and was perfect for photos. Cookie the tour guide told us the behind the scenes stories about how the movies were filmed. When we came down to the green dragon Kristi meet us and took photos of everyone in our group at multiple locations and then into the green dragon for drinks and more photo opportunities. Then into the car for trip to the glow worm cave. Our meal was ready and beverages cold. There were also snacks and drinks available included. The glow worms were so awesome. My mouth hung open with how many there were. So bight and beautiful. No photos are to be taken which was disappointing but there was a really nice gift shop to get books or postcards and gifts. Kristi kept us on time and back to cruise terminal on time with time to get into gift store by cruise ship. Every step of the way we were well taken care of, offered toilet breaks, snacks and comfort. Great team and wonderful staff. Can’t thank them enough for the best day we had in New Zealand!"

"Because of weather and cancellations, I ended up having a wonderful customized tour focused on the sites I was most interested in - including both indoor and outdoor sites. I enjoyed it immensely. Everything was easy and well-organized."

"Kaleigh was fantastic. Unfortunately due to the cyclone and landslides we couldn’t go to the west coast. However Our tour guide was able to make other accommodations for us."

"Our bus driver and his partner Karyn were very helpful with ideas on what to do and where to visit during our stay. Very pleasant trip. Would highly recommend. We were a little confused where to meet the bus until we called."

"Flexi Tours really made the day magical by arranging all the transport for the day. It really made enjoying the caves and Hobbiton just that much more magical. The Spellbound caves were amazing and I really enjoyed the smaller group. If I could give this package more stars I would!"
