Excellent and fun introduction to Auckland - Leisurely paced tour. Small group. Excellent leader. Treats and drinks. I am not usually one for organized tours but I would do this one anytime. Well worth it.

An Excellent Auckland Orientation - We so enjoyed our tour with Debbie. The meeting place was easy to find and we really feel we got an excellent orientation. Debbie was knowledgeable about Auckland's layout, history, demographics, architecture, art, food, botany - you name it! Debbie was also quite flexible to tailor our walk based on our interests. She was also a very comfortable person to spend time with. We felt as though we were sharing a morning with an old friend.

Excellent experience - Our guide Joe gave us an excellent introduction to Downtown Auckland interspersed with great anecdotes. The ‘treats’ of the chocolate shop and the art deco coffee break were great finds. Highly recommend it.

Great intro to Auckland! - This was a great tour to acclimate to Auckland. Our guide, Liz, was extremely knowledgeable and proud of her city. We had a very leisurely walk as she showed us the areas that we would not have explored on our own. She had great stories, along with sharing wonderful shops to explore. Highly recommend this tour!!

Fun host, great introduction to the city! - We had a great time learning about Auckland while trying some awesome treats! A highlight of the tour was a stop at a chocolate shop, where the owner made recommendations based on flavors we said we liked. The tour guide made restaurant recommendations and suggested other fun activities we could do while we are in town. It was a group of four for our tour, and the host made sure to talk to each of us individually to tailor the tour to our interests. It was great!

Great food and interesting local lore. - Amazing food tour with lots of small local eateries. Liz was knowledgeable and gave us a good cross section of local foods in the area. We had a fun time and highly recommend it as a first tour to do in Aukland.

Great for locals too! - We are locals and had a great tour with Liz. She tailored the tour for our interests as there were only two of us. We particularly enjoyed hearing her stories and her knowledge about the public art installations around the city. Well done Liz.
