Transport with an expert!

Published on Sep, 2024

Kris was an absolute delight! He has so much knowledge to share and was fun to converse with. He took care of all the details, so we could sit back and enjoy ourselves. I would highly recommend him.

One of the Best in Private tours.

Published on Aug, 2024

One of the best private tours that we have taken, from the time that we booked our tour, we were kept informed of the bookings as it was reserved and then paid for on our behalf by our tour guide Krishna with helpful tips of our visit to not only to the Hobbitton movie set and the Glowworm caves but of other attractions around New Zealand that we learned from Kris, a very helpful and kind kiwi, I would highly recommend his services and would be sure to use his services in the future

The Secret To A Smooth Sight-Seeing Day!

Published on Nov, 2023

On our first trip ever to New Zealand, it was critically important to us that we had a chance to see some of the key unique attractions and understand better the local life, wildlife, and history. As part of that, we booked a bigger “private” tour on a bus. But at the last minute, we decided we’d be much better off with a more intimate and comfortable experience. Alas I was reluctant because of the significant additional cost. But my wife pushed me to upgrade us, and I’m so glad she did because, thankfully, we were swept away on an amazing and amazingly comfortable day! Kris was a wonderful steward of all of the vehicle, tour destinations, and the country. Not only did he provide some wonderful conversation and commentary on all aspects of the land and the landmarks, he also went above and beyond to rearrange parts of the day on the fly to ensure we had VIP access and the best part of the experience. If you’re looking for the best way to tour around Auckland and see the sites with the secret shortcuts and stories in tow, connect with Kris and his team!

Hobbiton and the Waitomo glow worm cave.

Published on Jan, 2023

Kris with Black Car was a terrific guide. He was on time, organized and planned the day incredibly. Everything was on track but we didn't feel rushed or stressed. We will highly recommend him for an enjoyable tour

Luxurious Tour

Published on Oct, 2022

We made the correct decision in choosing Kris in is Black car for our tour, very professional and a great narrator.
