“In looking over
TripAdvisor for small half day tours of Auckland, we found Auckland City Tours
and it had 12 5-Star reviews. And nothing else. That's almost impossible on
TripAdvisor. We read the reviews and they seemed genuine.
We booked the
morning tour and weren't disappointed. If anything, the reviews understated how
good Michael Silver is at his job. He's charming, funny and extremely
informative. He was raised in Auckland, moved to the US (LA) for 15 years and
returned to a much changed Auckland. He draws on those insights to make the
city come alive.
We've taken a
lot of tours in our three weeks of New Zealand and many others elsewhere. His
is one of the top two we ever been on. We highly recommend Auckland City
Tours.”
“Found this half
day tour advertised in the Rydges hotel magazine - but couldn't initially find
it in TripAdvisor. Really glad we chose this one.
This tour
included all the usual major tourist spots but the descriptions were given with
the in-depth knowledge of an Auckland resident and a world of experience. We
also had a few extra stops away from the main routes that provided great photo
opportunities. Having a smaller van instead of a large coach meant that we
could reach out of the way places not covered by others. This was especially
true with the trip up to Mount Eden. There is very little vehicle access to the
summit - but Michael has permission to take elderly or infirm people to the top
- lucky for us. Otherwise there is a very steep walk from the car park below.
The 360 degree view over Auckland is fantastic and would have been worth the
tour fee by itself.
Michael spent
longer than the advertised 3 hours taking our small group around as he had so
much to show and tell. This is an owner
operated tour by someone who is proud of Auckland and is highly recommended.”
“Had a wonderful
time with Michael on this tour of Auckland! He is funny and very knowledgeable
about Auckland. During the tour he discusses a wide array of topics and by the
time you're finished you really get a feeling of the city.
The tour is
appropriately paced so that you have enough time to enjoy the stops which are
located so that you see the city from different direction and make some awesome
photos.
Would highly
recommend this tour.
Thanks Michael
for taking me around town!”
“I cannot
recommend Michael Silvey and Auckland City Tours enough. We had the pleasure of
spending half a day with him in a small group and he is so outgoing and
knowledgeable that he tailored the activities with our special interest in
mind. He took the time to get to know us and was generous in his knowledge,
effort and time to make sure we received the best of Auckland with our limited
time in the city. We will go see him every time we visit.”
“We were only in
Auckland 24 hours and our hotel recommended Auckland City Tours. We paid a
reasonable amount for a 4 hour tour and Michael picked us up in his van about
two blocks from the hotel, across from the ferry building. The van was very
comfortable, there were eight on our tour and I believe it sat 12. Michael is
local, very knowledgeable and entertaining. We left the van feeling we had
gotten a good oversight of Auckland in case we ever return. If you are staying
a few days, you might want to do this first off then plan to revisit the areas
which interested you later in your trip. This is also a great option for Cruise
Ship Passengers.”
“I opted to to
take this tour since the free walking tour isn't back in season yet ...... and
I'm sure glad I did. Michael Silvey was our guide (and is the owner) and has a
perfect personality for being a tour guide (no, I'm not getting a kickback). He
will take you to places the locals know and love. Yes, you'll go over the
Harbour Bridge and by the Auckland Museum, but also places like Ponsonby and
the Fish Market (and the places there for great, inexpensive fresh fish meals)
and several Victorian neighborhoods. Michael goes into those interesting
stories that locals know and that you'll only get in personal tours. The tour
lasts about 4 hours and I booked it from the Harbour Information Centre at the
Ferry Building (they were offering a special for $99 which included this tour
and another one to Davenport). Yes, he'll make convenient restroom breaks (I've
been on some that never do). Michael has that great New Zealander attitude and
humor that I've grown to appreciate.”
“Michael was our
Auckland City tour guide on 13 February 2016, from about 10:00 a.m. to 2:00
p.m. He was engaging, informative, and accommodating. I was very pleased with
the breadth of overview and felt as though I have a much better understanding
about not only the history and topography of Auckland but also New Zealand.
Michael was an
excellent tour guide. I would highly recommend him.”
“We had a great
tour around Auckland today with Michael. He was very knowledgeable, friendly,
professional and patient. We would highly recommend him and the itinerary of
the tour, good value for money as well.
“Thank you again
for an absolutely fabulous tour. You were very informative and we loved your
sense of humour. For me this approach makes for a happier tour and also I tend
to absorb more information. I would like to take this time to thank you again
for dropping us at our hotel which saved us a long walk home.
I would and will
recommend you to anyone visiting Auckland”
