AUCKLAND CITY SIGHTSEEING TOURS GreatSights Auckland City Morning Tour – GreatSights is the biggest name in the game when it comes to day tours of the city and surrounding areas. This is a half day tour beginning in the morning which will take you by bus to all of Auckland's biggest tourist attractions – you'll see the Harbour Bridge, War Museum, Viaduct Harbour and central city areas/suburbs like Karangahape Road and Ponsonby. An excellent introductory tour if you're new to the city or only here for a short stay and want to see a lot of the big sights in a short time frame.Hop On Hop Off Explorer – This is probably your best option if you're a backpacker and wanting to see some of the major sights while having a level of flexibility on where you stop off and spend time. Whereas the GreatSights tour is fairly fixed (you don't get to choose how much time you spend where) with the Explorer you have a lot more control over the experience. It's only $45 for an all-day pass or $75 for a 2-day pass, and they also have a $100 family pass (two adults and four children, so it's a great deal). InterCity Half Day Auckland Tour – basically the same deal as the GreatSights tour above, this one goes to essentially the same places but is cheaper at $39. It's a bit more of a no-frills version. The GreatSights tour is a bit more in-depth and insightful if you're looking to learn about the city, but if you're trying to save every dollar the InterCity option will let you see all the same sights.
