This is a tour with a difference! No driving up and down high streets looking at shopfronts and buildings. This was 'Raw' Auckland. Our Tour Guide, Mike, picked us up at our hotel, there was just me and my lovely wife so we had 'Mike' all to ourselves. The day was very windy, at time cold, and some rain, so not the most comfortable but we managed. The tour IS a lot of walking, much uphill, as to be expected! (But of course downhill too!) Mike proved to be a very knowledgeable, not just on volcanoes, but upon the associated indigenous history of each place we visited, whether volcano or township we drove through. It was a long tiring day but we ended with side of Auckland we hard;y knew existed. Well worth the effort. Thanks Mike!
