Neill is a passionate New Zealander by choice. He is of Irish and German descent and has become a proud New Zealander and a New Zealand citizen since relocating from Europe many years ago, after falling in love with New Zealand and Ceillhe. Previous to that he lived mainly in Ireland and Germany and is well travelled, having visited over 40 countries so far. Before coming to New Zealand Neill managed several large shopping centres in Europe.

He is now responsible for all marketing and general business for TIME Unlimited Tours. Not to forget that he is the proud father of Danica Matariki Sperath, Neill and Ceillhe's beautiful, part-Maori Daughter. She was born in Tamaki Makaurau (Auckland) around Matariki (the Maori New Year) in 2009. Neill loves explaining and showing our guests the volcanic heritage and stunning beauty of the Auckland, region, a place he passionately loves.
