🇬🇧 A Touch of London, Right Here in Auckland

Our bus, Dorothy, is a genuine Routemaster double-decker — the same model that once served the streets of London.
Lovingly restored in New Zealand, she now offers a nostalgic yet comfortable way to discover Auckland, complete with friendly hosts and live local commentary.

Family-Owned. Locally Run. Proudly Kiwi.

Vintage Views is a small, family-run Auckland company dedicated to creating unforgettable sightseeing experiences.
We’ve brought together vintage charm, local storytelling, and unbeatable views to make your short time in port truly memorable.
