Vintage Views Goes Global: Where to Book Auckland’s Most Iconic Double-Decker Bus Experience (And Why It Matters)
Auckland is a city that reveals itself best from the street — not rushed, not filtered through a screen, but experienced in motion. That philosophy sits at the heart of Vintage Views, and it’s exactly why we’re genuinely delighted to now be selling our Double Decker Discovery tour across the world’s most trusted travel platforms.
This is more than distribution.
It’s validation.
Over the past year, Vintage Views has quietly become one of Auckland’s most distinctive sightseeing experiences: a closed-top, fully restored 1960s London Routemaster, live local commentary, small-group feel, and a pace that lets visitors actually see the city.
Now, whether travellers are booking months ahead from overseas or searching for something memorable once they’ve arrived in New Zealand, they can find and book Vintage Views through the platforms they already trust.
Below, we’ll walk through where to book, why this matters, and why Vintage Views is becoming one of Auckland’s most talked-about sightseeing experiences.
Where You Can Now Book Vintage Views
Vintage Views is now live across a powerful mix of global marketplaces, trusted travel brands, and local New Zealand authority platforms. This ensures visibility across every stage of the traveller journey — from trip planning to last-minute inspiration.
🌍 Bookit Online (New Zealand holiday specialists)
👉 https://book.bookit.co.nz/agent/book-new-zealand-holiday/7877358/tours/vintage-views/148925
Bookit Online is widely used by travel agents and holiday planners booking complete New Zealand itineraries. Being listed here places Vintage Views alongside premium, vetted experiences and opens the door to packaged holidays, cruise add-ons, and international agent sales.
🌏 Klook (Asia-Pacific powerhouse)
Klook is one of the largest and fastest-growing activity platforms in the world, particularly strong across Asia, Australia, and younger international travellers. Listing on Klook significantly expands reach into markets that value unique, visual, story-driven experiences — exactly where a vintage double-decker shines.
⭐ Tripadvisor (global trust and reviews)
Tripadvisor remains the world’s most influential travel review platform. For many travellers, it’s the final decision-maker. Strong presence here builds social proof, credibility, and organic discovery, especially for cruise passengers and first-time Auckland visitors.
🎒 GetYourGuide (experiences-first marketplace)
GetYourGuide is heavily used by independent travellers, city-break visitors, and cruise guests seeking well-curated, book-now experiences. It’s one of the most powerful discovery engines for sightseeing tours worldwide — and a perfect fit for a short, high-impact Auckland experience.
🇳🇿 Must Do New Zealand (local authority platform)
👉 https://mustdonewzealand.co.nz/tours/auckland-vintage-london-double-decker-bus-tour/
Must Do New Zealand is a trusted, local voice highlighting genuinely worthwhile experiences. Inclusion here signals authenticity and quality — especially important for travellers who want to avoid cookie-cutter tours.
Why This Matters (For Travellers and Auckland)
Being listed across these platforms isn’t just good marketing — it fundamentally improves how visitors experience Auckland.
✔️ Trust & Accessibility
Travellers can book Vintage Views through platforms they already know, use, and trust — in their own currency, language, and payment method.
✔️ Discoverability
From Google search results to in-app discovery, Vintage Views now appears wherever people are researching:

Multi-platform presence builds long-term SEO authority. It signals to search engines — and to travellers — that Vintage Views is not a novelty, but a serious, established Auckland attraction.
What Makes Vintage Views Different (And Why It Converts)
Auckland has no shortage of ways to get around. What it doesn’t have many of is experiences with soul.
🚌 A Genuine 1960s London Routemaster
Not a replica. Not a theme-park prop.
A lovingly restored, closed-top Routemaster that turns heads everywhere it goes.
🎙️ Live Local Commentary
No pre-recorded scripts. No AI voices.
Just real Aucklanders sharing stories, history, humour, and local insight — adapting each tour to the guests on board.
🧭 Perfectly Timed, City-Focused Route
Designed to give visitors a true sense of Auckland’s layout, landmarks, and neighbourhoods — without consuming their whole day.
👨👩👧👦 Family-Owned, Small-Group Feel
Vintage Views is proudly local and family-run. That warmth carries through every interaction, from booking to farewell.
Ideal for Cruise Passengers, First-Time Visitors & Locals Alike
One of the reasons Vintage Views performs so well across platforms is its broad appeal:
Cruise passengers needing a reliable, memorable, time-efficient shore excursion
International visitors wanting a relaxed city overview on day one
Domestic travellers rediscovering Auckland through a different lens
Families & multi-generational groups looking for something everyone enjoys
Locals hosting friends or celebrating special occasions
Booking Direct vs Booking Through Platforms
While we always welcome direct bookings via our own website, these platforms play a crucial role in:
Reaching international audiences
Supporting travel agents and cruise planners
Providing comparison, reviews, and reassurance for first-time visitors
Ultimately, the more places Vintage Views appears, the easier it is for travellers to say yes.
The Bigger Picture: A Vintage Experience in a Modern City
Auckland is evolving fast — new hotels, new precincts, new cruise terminals, new international attention. In the middle of that growth, Vintage Views offers something increasingly rare:
A slower, more human way to see the city.
By expanding across Bookit Online, Klook, Tripadvisor, GetYourGuide, and Must Do New Zealand, we’re ensuring that experience remains accessible, visible, and discoverable — not just this season, but for years to come.
Ready to Ride?
Wherever you’re booking from — and however you found us — we look forward to welcoming you aboard Auckland’s most charming double-decker sightseeing experience.
