90-minute Auckland city tour aboard a 1964 London Routemaster, passing Mission Bay, Parnell and the Auckland Harbour Bridge with elevated waterfront views.

Tour Overview

See Auckland from the top deck of a genuine 1964 London Routemaster double-decker bus on this 90 minute city tour. With its vintage styling and authentic details, the bus brings a distinct sense of classic travel while giving you elevated views across the city and waterfront.

The route takes you past Mission Bay, where you can look out to Rangitoto Island, the golden sand beaches and the busy seaside promenade. In Parnell, the bus passes leafy streets, historic villas, boutique shops and the Parnell Rose Gardens, offering a view into one of Auckland’s oldest suburbs.

You’ll also travel along Karangahape Road, known as K Road, where colourful street art, historic buildings, eclectic shops and the nightlife strip reflect one of the city’s most energetic streets. Through Ponsonby, the view shifts to colourful villas, cafés, boutique retail and a lively inner-city atmosphere.

A highlight of the journey is crossing the Auckland Harbour Bridge, with wide views over the Waitematā Harbour, the city skyline and the yachts that have helped shape Auckland’s identity as the City of Sails.

This tour suits visitors and locals alike who want to see central Auckland from a different angle, aboard a bus that is as much part of the experience as the route itself.
