“Wonderful get acquainted afternoon tour of Auckland. We were only in the city for 24 hours but wanted to get a sense of the place before leaving on a cruise the next morning. Steve was our guide and he was terrific. Very friendly and informative and always solicitous of our well-being. With just 9 passengers in a well air- conditioned van, it was a great way to see the sites of the city. Loved that he picked us up at the hotel.”
