Auckland hop-on hop-off bus for 1 day with English commentary, app audio in 4 languages, and free onboard Wi-Fi. Stops: Sky Tower to Kelly Tarlton’s.
“The sound up top needs to be improved. We could hardly hear the commentary. We also had a difficult time finding the bus stop. We were walking around in circles for about an hour. Signage could be improved. There’s also no garbage cans on the bus.”

“The museum was amazing however we had problem with ticketing. We had to wait for a long time to get our tickets - I would not describe this as 'skip the line'. When we finally made it to the counter, they couldn't find our booking/tickets and we had to wait for a long time again.…”
Explore Odyssey Sensory Maze on Auckland’s Queen Street with a $21.72 ticket, lockers, no time limit, and 12 rooms of sound and light.
“It is bit short for $90 per family. As the bookings were scheduled for the same hour. There were 4 families crawling thru the maze and bumping in to each other at the same time. I am sure the handed over white gloves were used and not sanitary.”
