Why We’re Proud to Take Vintage Views Global (and What It Means for Auckland Tourism)
At Kiwi Coaches, we’ve always believed that great transport does more than move people from A to B — it shapes how a city is experienced.
That belief is exactly why we created Vintage Views.
What began as a passion project — restoring and operating a genuine, closed-top 1960s London Routemaster in Auckland — has grown into one of the city’s most distinctive sightseeing experiences. And now, we’re genuinely delighted to confirm that Vintage Views is officially selling across multiple major global and New Zealand travel platforms.
This is an important milestone not just for our business, but for Auckland tourism as a whole.
Vintage Views Is Now Bookable Worldwide
Vintage Views is now live across a carefully selected mix of international marketplaces, trusted review platforms, and New Zealand travel authorities. Each plays a different role in how travellers research, trust, and book experiences.
From Kiwi Coaches’ perspective, this multi-platform presence signals maturity, credibility, and long-term commitment.
🌍 Bookit Online – New Zealand Holiday Specialists
Vintage Views is now available via Bookit Online, a platform widely used by travel agents and holiday planners building complete New Zealand itineraries.

For us, this means Vintage Views is now positioned alongside established, premium New Zealand experiences — opening doors to packaged holidays, cruise extensions, and agent-led sales.
🌏 Klook – Asia-Pacific’s Activity Powerhouse
We’ve also launched on Klook, one of the world’s fastest-growing experience platforms, particularly strong in Asia, Australia, and younger international markets.
Klook’s audience values visual, distinctive, story-driven experiences — and a vintage Routemaster rolling through Auckland fits that brief perfectly.
⭐ Tripadvisor – Global Trust & Social Proof
Vintage Views is now fully live on Tripadvisor, still the most influential review platform in the travel world.
For many visitors, Tripadvisor is where decisions are finalised. Strong visibility here builds confidence for first-time visitors, cruise passengers, and independent travellers alike.
🎒 GetYourGuide – Experiences-First Discovery
We’re also proud to be selling through GetYourGuide, a platform trusted by millions of travellers booking city experiences worldwide.
GetYourGuide is particularly strong for short-stay visitors and cruise guests — audiences that value clarity, quality, and efficient sightseeing.
🇳🇿 Must Do New Zealand – Local Authority
Finally, Vintage Views has been recognised by Must Do New Zealand, a respected local platform highlighting experiences genuinely worth doing.

From a Kiwi Coaches standpoint, this inclusion matters deeply — it signals authenticity and local endorsement, not just international reach.
Why This Matters to Kiwi Coaches
We operate one of Auckland’s largest and most diverse fleets, serving schools, events, tourism, corporate clients, and communities across the region. We see firsthand how visitors move through the city — what works, what overwhelms, and what leaves a lasting impression.
Vintage Views exists because Auckland needed a slower, warmer, more human sightseeing option.
Multi-platform distribution achieves three things:
✔️ Trust at Scale
Travellers can book through platforms they already know, in their own currency, language, and ecosystem.
✔️ Discoverability
Vintage Views now appears wherever people search:
