Guest reviews from travelers on City sightseeing tours in and around Auckland
David S. | Traveled in November
What a wonder-filled trip. Between the cultural education, the beauty of the landscapes and our great tour director and bus driver we couldn’t have asked for much more. It’s impossible to name just one memorable experience. The Bay of Islands, Mt Cook, Christchurch Gardens, Milford Sound and many more!

The tour was great. We got very lucky with weather as it changes a lot as you travel across the country. Both the travel director and the bus driver were the best we have ever had on similar trips. The only issue we had was the airport transfers. When we arrived, nobody was waiting for us and we had to call to find out what happened. We were told that our flight was cancelled. We did take our originally booked flight from USA. The ride was scheduled at that time, but when we arrived at the hotel, we were told to pay the full fare as the driver was not informed that we were part of the organized group with prepaid transfer. The driver called the company and it was resolved. On the way back from Christchurch, we had issue again. We had to call travel director to help us. For some reason transfer company forgot about us.

Amazing trip. Hits all the places you want to see and explore. The tour guide and bus driver were fantastic and definitely contributed to the trip being so great! Wish they did more tours together.
Linda B. | Traveled in November
Accommodations were good and there were interesting excursions, both routine and optional. I liked the optional free day between travel days where we could choose what we wanted to do. As a solo traveller it would be nice to see a couple of options for socializing in early evening…….eg. to chat with others & hear about the excursions people had and what they enjoyed.

A beautiful country and an amazing experience! The incredible Contiki road team made the trip seamless and ensured we ticked everything off our bucket list! 100% would recommend this trip, you will not regret it!
