nice bus tour, simple and straightforward. I was a bit bored though. just gardens and parks and flowers. but good photo ops.
A great way to get around and see Auckland. However, one of the stops said 'Fish Market' and all there was was wholesale fish market, retails fish shops and a couple of coffee shops.The shops and craft market where not there as stated on the brochure. The craft market in Victoria Street had closed some 6 months earlier. At our first stop 'Bastion Point Lookout' the timetable said the bus arrives to pick us up at 9.40 a.m. At 9.30a.m.I see the bus leave without us. The next bus arrives at 10.00 a. m. No problem if you have time, but if you have to be on the ship at a certain time, then shore time is limited. The connection for the satellite bus at the museum is great and gets us to Mt Eden to see a spectacular view of the city of Auckland.We also see the crater of an extinct volcano there.
VERY DISAPPOINTING. THE HIGHLIGHT SHOULD HAVE BEEN VISIT TO MOUNT EDEN BUT IT WAS TAKE OFF THE TOUR EVEN THOUGH IT IS ON THE WEBSITE ADVERTISING THIS TOUR
EXCELLENT.
It was good - but Kelly's event felt like it was too short - the sail cruize was fantastic, the parks were very nice, all in all not a bad day
I could not of asked for a better tour with a Maori guide and she was excellent.
Didn't use this to its full potential cause we ran out of time. But I find all Hop-on Hop-off tours to be very informative.
Hop-on Hop-off was a great way to get highlights from multiple areas of Auckland. The tour comes with great discounts on many attractions.
Easy and convenient overview of the greater Auckland area, but a one-day pass does not actually work with seeing (getting off at) more than about 2 places in a day due to the time spread between recurring busses. The bus itself was relatively new, in very good condition, and clean inside and out. Clean windows!
My American cousins went on the trip. Generally they enjoyed it but were really frustrated having to wait 45-60 minutes at certain stops. This meant that they did not get to consider the section trip out to the zoo from the museum or spend much time at some of the venues.
Very good. Saw most of the things of interest in Auckland
It is a wonderful trip and we had a very talkative driver who gave us all kinds of tips, stories and gossips. It made hours of bus drive endurable. If you also love animals, go ahead, book this trip. You won'd regret.
THANK YOU FOR A WONDERFUL SERVICE. DRIVERS VERY HELPFUL AND COURTEOUS. WILL CERTAINLY USE AGAIN.
Just do it.
Honestly, the tour was... okay. I would recommend for older folks who can't really walk the city.
Although the bus was comfortable and came often, there weren't that many stops and you really need a full day to take one of the longer loops. I've done several city bus tours all over and maybe because Auckland is smaller than other cities I've done them in, but this seemed like the least valuable bus trip to date.
