Very useful way to get an overview of Auckland away from our hotel area and then choose what we wanted to see more of. Sometimes the trees were a bit too big for the open top bus though 🙂.

Red and blue routes gave wider access to the city. We liked that passengers didn't have to change the bus to switch routes(the bus changes). Was super easy to find stop 1 near cruise terminal.

Good bus and clean. The schedule was erratic. It was stated that buses will be every 30 minutes but I experienced 1 hour waiting.

Ticketing experience was fine, had trouble finding the pickup site. Had walked by it, then there was no one there. Saw the bus, jaywalked on red and the driver stopped, attendant came back validated our tickets and got us going. Just disappointed at the ending time for the buses, but assume it has to do with rush hour. Did like the running dialogue.

Bus route was good, however commentary was difficult to hear as your bus has more rattles than a millionaires baby, especially in the open top deck, hardly hear anything...

Ticketing was difficult - I thought I was buying 2 tickets when in fact I only bought one. The driver dropped as off at Mount Eden and told us the last bus would be round in 30 minutes. We waited and waited and the same driver came to collect us as the last bus had broken down. Thank you and a great driver.

The commentary throughout the tour was very good. It was a shame the weather was not better as the bus takes you to some great stops.

Hi, answer I wanted was not above. Bus needed some much earned overhauling. The map was quite nice, BUT - I had serious problems finding the bus stop at the center, just trying to find the adress! Figuring out the actual bus schedule was also a bit of a mess... Tour itself was quite cool.

Great way to see lots of Auckland quickly, easy to book on line. Would be good to have more frequent buses, we had to wait almost 30 minutes each time we got off on back on at a stop, must have just missed one each time

It was great to actually talk to a person who pointed us in the right direction to board the bus and explain how it operated. The map was also easy to follow.

Well explained. Went to the tent and met the guys at the Tower who were really helpful. Tickets were purchased on line so we needed the printout. That part is a little confusing.

It's a lovely experience we get to see the most popular places in Auckland city and learned a little bit about it's history.

Everything was great. The two greeters at the Sky Tower were super helpful and all the drivers were very friendly. One small thing was that the web site said the road to the aquarium was flooded and buses weren't going there. As this was our destination it almost stopped me booking. Otherwise we had a great day. Thank you

The timing of when the last bus would be picking up was unclear so we got stuck and had to purchase an Uber. The website also said the bus was temporarily picking us up at a spot that it was not and that there was a shortened route due to flooding, which there wasn't. Other than that, we loved the experience. Its such a great way to see th city and we wish we could've seen a bit more!

I was worried that the tall trees might pose a danger to our bus. We would like to cooperate with the organization that manages the trees on the road so that customers can focus only on sightseeing during the tour.

It was a good way to get around Auckland and hear about all the sites. Good advice to stay on the bus until you have seen the whole loop and then decide what you are going to do. Next time I would probably buy a ticket that included seeing the zoo and aquarium, for best value.
