Sky Tower & City Landmarks Tour – See Auckland’s Icons From a Vintage Double Decker

The Sky Tower is Auckland’s most recognisable landmark — and the most impressive way to see it is from the top deck of a restored 1960s London Routemaster.
Vintage Views offers a unique perspective on the Sky Tower and Auckland’s central landmarks, combining height, heritage and cinematic views.

The Double Decker Discovery Tour loops directly through Auckland’s CBD, giving you panoramic views of:

  • Sky Tower

  • Queen Street

  • Commercial Bay

  • Viaduct Harbour

  • Wynyard Quarter

  • The Downtown Waterfront

  • Historic and modern architecture side-by-side

From the top deck, the Sky Tower feels close enough to touch — framed perfectly between the city’s towers as you glide through the heart of Auckland.
