Our Delightful host Pauline was both knowledgeable and fun as well as patient as we learned how to master our segways .. it’s was easy as she promised it would be. Fantastic fun and a really great way to see sights we’ve been driving past for years. Try it yourself you won’t be disappointed
2. An Hour long Taste of the Segway Sensation and Sightseeing FUN

5.0 based on 9 reviews
If you're curious about what it's like to ride a Segway then this ride is for you. It's designed to teach you how to ride and give you plenty of time to practice before heading off around the village to take in the sights of Devonport, Auckland's historic seaside village. You'll ride around the Waterfront to Cheltenham beach where you will have a superb view of the Hauraki Gulf and Rangitoto Island which, at only 650 years old, is our youngest volcanic cone rising majestically out of the Gulf. There will be plenty of opportunities to take some great photos of the scenery and of course of you on a Segway. As you return to our base on Devonport Wharf you'll have a chance to put the Segway through its paces as you ride up hill and down dale through the back streets of the village where you can admire the beautifully restored Victorian villas.

Brilliant experience from first contact through email to the half day 1pm-6pm tour itself. Syrus, our initial contact, ended up being our tour guide as well and he was amazing: helpful, knowledgeable and on the day was friendly, informative, a great photographer and thoughtful - for instance, he kept an easy walking pace for my parents who are in their sixties. With a toddler and 3 adults, it was only a few extra dollars to book a private tour and I'm so glad we did. It was great to pick and choose the tourist spots to go to without the confines of a set-in-stone itinerary and though the plan was to see two waterfalls and two beaches, this turned out to be a bit over-ambitious on my part! Syrus was really flexible on the day though and happy to go at a much more leisurely pace and we ended up going to Kite Kite falls and the black sand beach. On the way there, there were stop offs at some beautiful scenic spots and though a late request on our part, an afternoon tea break was even slotted in at a lovely cafe just before it closed. The walk to Kite Kite falls took about an hour with a toddler - bring a carrier to make the walk quicker and easier as there are stairs. Bring a spare towel and flip flops for when you get to the waterfall, too. The beach has a car park right next to it and there's a cafe to stop off for a drink, chips or some ice cream. The private vehicle came with a baby car seat and it was comforting to know the car journey was only 40 minutes away from Sydney where pick up and drop off from our accommodation was included. Based in Auckland, this was one of the very few tours available which is less than an hour from the city. And doing a private tour meant the afternoon of sightseeing was done at a much more relaxed pace making it all the more enjoyable and so memorable. I'd completely recommend Syrus from Tour Bro. and would very happily use them again - perhaps for our future South Island trip :)

I had the best experience with Time Unlimited Tours, they were so prompt with their service. I had a group of 70 people getting transported from one venue to another. It was absolutely hassle free and my guests were very impressed! They were on time, so kind and helpful. Neill and Ceillhe are the loviest people and I just can't recommend their service enough!! 10/10 across the board. I would use this company again, ANY day of the week!

A fabulous tour. Picked up on time (if a little early thank you), a fascinating trip down with plenty of information and arrived in time for the first tour of Hobbiton. What a fascinating place and attention to detail amazing. Lunch and then back to Auckland on a different route with more interesting discussion. Would highly recommend this professional and friend,y tour company.
