Loved it. Easy to book and pay last minute online, we were picked up from Skytower Auckland punctually, and the 2 attendants were so helpful with all enquiries. Pleasant double decker open buses, we experienced 3 helpful and polite drivers each time we hopped on/ off. It covered many Auckland landmarks, we chose only 2 however we could have done at least 2 more. This beats a chartered tour bus as you decide how long you spend at a site and then wait for the bus which comes around every 30 min. We had our own time to visit Mt Edna, then Auckland Zoo for as long as we liked instead of being given a time limit. Just be tolerant that sometimes you have to wait longer than 30 min for your connection as buses are caught in peak hour jams. The on board commentary was loud, clear and well synchronised. After we terminated at Skytower, we could have gone on one last round loop tour without getting off if we wanted. We liked this better because we got to choose where to explore unlike a structured sightseeing tour that covers places you are not interested in. Overall a happy experience which has made us want to do more Hoho bus tours in future.

Interesting trip through attractive suburbs. Only problem was that the commentary volume on one of the buses was too low, resulting in people not hearing it and talking over.

Nice and clean. A mix of covered and open seating. The audio was pretty good for most of the trip, some parts got lost on the highway. Easy online ticket purchase and redemption. It was my first time ever using a HOHO and because of this experience, I would do it again.

The commentary was very good. Buses were punctual to pick us up. My favourite places were Mt Eden, Panels Village and Bastion Point.
