Amazing Waterfront Auckland - People friendly with City Link bus to orient you to this harbour city. Picturesque heritage buildings such as the post office and central train station are well worth seeking out near the waterfront. Atrium on Takutai and the many restaurants in that area are varied and five⭐️. All the international designer boutiques and amazing local NZ designers are scattered through the waterfront areas.

Great value - This was a great way to sample the city. The buses ran on time and made it easy to see a lot in a short amount of time. The commentary was interesting as well.

Overview of Auckland - The bus includes many stops for interesting Auckland locations. We purchased the 24 tickets for the intention of seeing an overview of Auckland but also for transportation to the venues we wanted to visit. Unfortunately the bus does not arrive for 35- 45 minutes while making the loop so we had limited use for reaching the other locations we had intended to visit. If planning to use the bus, start early in the day to ensure seeing all you intend.

Nothing special - The text is incorrect. There are no headphones, it's through speakers. So only in English. I don't think there was that much information along the way. I would have hoped for more information about the city. I heard more on my other tours.

Not recommended - The tour is advertised by the fact that the buses run every half hour. Unfortunately, that is not the case. We made the first stop at the Art Gallery and then had to wait about 50 minutes for the bus. After our next stop at Kelly Tarltons Aquarium we waited for over an hour. Other passengers sat at the stop even longer. Absolutely not recommended.

Waste of money! - Very unreliable service! The bus was 45 minutes late from its designated stop and therefore we had to hire an Uber to pick us up and take us back to our hotel. Instead hire a private driver to take you to all the important sites in Auckland.
