Usual worthwhile experience when visiting a new city. Sadly our first bus was a single Decker so we found the view restricted. Second bus was open topped so fab!

The audio system on the bus was not working properly. There was a lot of static and the commentary was cutting in and out. Most of the 90 minutes tour there was no audio commentary. Another passenger told the driver, who said sorry but couldn't fix it.Viktoriia

I liked the route that goes across all interesting and picturesque places in Auckland, comfortable bus providing access to amazing views, audio guide telling interesting things about history and places. And of course an opportunity to hop on and off!)
