“A perfect introduction to Auckland.”

Reviewed 15 February 2012

We only had one full day in Auckland and fellow travellers had told us not to miss going to the lookout at Mount Eden. We looked for a guided tour that would include this location. Our tour with Terry, our guide, was everything we had hoped for and more. On a glorious sunny day we were taken to a number... More

“A Memorable Auckland Trip with Milestone Tours”

Reviewed 12 February 2012

This is our first time to visit New Zealand and we must say that this is one of the most memorable trip we've ever had. The Auckland Adventure tour is packed with lots of the city's highlights. We had lots of fun with the guided bush walk to the waterfalls. Though the weather was unfriendly while we were on our... More

“A gret day in Auckland”

Reviewed 9 February 2012

Great. This was our first day in Auckland, and we were not sure what to do. My wife doesn't like those big buses, so we looked for a short tour with a van. Milestone tours had some good reviews on Trip Advisor, so we signed up. A winner. There was only one other couple with us on the tour. Daniel... More

“Thanks Daniel - Continue with your laughter”

Reviewed 8 February 2012

The Rainforest was quite an experience. Lucky for us, we have Daniel as our guide. He brighten up the wet weather with his sense of humour and knowledge. The whole day was wet and so cold. He made us leave the bus and we never regreted it. It was fun. I got to wear the Milestone Tours jacket as I... More

G’day from Auckland – where, I am happy to report, summer has finally arrived! There was a point in the summer, right around your tour, where we considered giving out rain ponchos in addition to the drinks and snacks we usual supply on board! Fortunately the weather has turned full circle and we’re now enjoying typically stunning summer weather. Many... More

“Fantastic tour, wonderful friendly guide, can't recommend it highly enough!”

Reviewed 5 February 2012

I went on the two day Rotorua & Waitomo tour in September 2011. I was travelling on my own so at first I was a bit apprehensive on what the tour would entail; I needn't have worried at all. I was staying in Auckland and on the morning of the tour the minibus picked me up from my front door.... More

To begin with please accept my many and sincere thanks for adding your fantastic review to Trip Advisor. Although it’s been a while since your tour neither Terry nor I have forgotten our first daredevil of the summer – there may have been other parachutists since spring but you were the first (of the few!). Many thanks also for your... More

“Auckland Adventure--a beautiful, exciting, and interesting overview of Auckland and its environs”

Reviewed 30 January 2012

My wife and I selected the Auckland Adventure tour, offered by Milestone Tours. Along with another couple, we were driven in a small van by our guide, Daniel, from our hotels in Auckland to a variety of destinations near Auckland. You can see a complete list of these destinations at http://www.milestonetours.co.nz/auckland.html. For us, the highlights were (i) the summit of... More

I cannot but open my reply to your (fantastic and very gratefully received) review without commenting on a bare-foot Daniel. Jumping into streams isn’t included anywhere in the Milestone job description, but as our very own ‘wild man’ there is nothing Daniel likes more than thrashing about in the bush, bare-footed or otherwise – look out for some photos appearing...

“Best Tour Group in Auckland”

Reviewed 30 January 2012

Our group (6 couples) spent a day touring the central part and outskirts of Auckland with Milestone Tours following our Australian/New Zealand cruise. Our driver Terry was exceptional. He was extremely knowledgeable, had a great sense of humor, was courteous and cordial and very flexible when we wanted to see a few extra things or stay a little longer at... More

G’day from sunny Auckland, whence I notice that we’re enjoying roughly the same temperatures as Sarasota. I add this information as it seems most of our planning emails (over six month’s worth in fact) included at least some discussion of our relative weather prospects – good and bad! Unsurprisingly I’m delighted to know that your day with Terry was such... More

“Best One-Day Tour of Auckland Area”

Reviewed 27 January 2012

This was our second tour of the Auckland area. This tour was incredible. We saw ten times more sites and got an excellent trek through a rain forest to an incredible water fall, got to walk on the black sand beaches, see Mt. Eden as it should be seen and went North of Auckland and experienced a whole new culture... More

First and foremost let me articulate my very sincere thanks to you for adding your review to our growing catalogue on Trip Advisor. I am naturally delighted to learn that your day ‘out west’ with us on our Auckland Adventure tour was such a success. The rain forest of the Waitakere Ranges is, as I’ve described it previously, one of... More

“Our tour was an excellent introduction to Auckland, New Zealand, and New Zealanders.”

Reviewed 22 January 2012

We had hoped for an overview tour of Auckland on our first full day in New Zealand. We got that but more as well. Gavin was a wonderful ambassador for both his city and his country. He not only showed us a beautiful city, but he expressed knowledge of its history and great pride and enthusiasm. He welcomed questions and... More
