    "Great Tour Covering so Much!"
    Did this tour whilst in Auckland on the Diamond Princess. Really great tour to see both Auckland city and surrounds plus remote and spectacular west coast beaches, rainforest and waterfalls. Good commentary, comfortable coach and a great way to spend the a day in this area.
