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.

Wonderful tour of Auckland - On our first day in Auckland, we went on the Hello Auckland tour with Debbie. This was the perfect introduction to this fascinating city! We learned about the history, landmarks and useful information. We covered a lot of ground but never felt rushed. There were even treats along the way! Debbie was engaging and informative; it felt like a friend showing us around. Highly recommended!

Fantastic Fun tour - Debbie was so wonderful and accommodating! Was like being shown a city by a friend! We landed early and through immigration in record time and she adjusted her schedule to pick us up early from our hotel. So informative and kind. Got us oriented and gave us a bit of history and a bunch of recommendations that we tried and were fantastic! Treats were a yummy surprise!

Great walking tour! - We had only 1 day in Auckland, so booked with Aucky Walky so we could get to know Auckland a little bit. We (2 couples) landed at Auckland airport at 6 am, so booked the 10 am walking tour to force us to stay awake and explore the city! Joe was our guide, and she was terrific. it was great to hang out with a local and hear her passion for her city! The tour was a nice balance of art, architecture, history, with a little food! An easy tour to recommend!

Delightful & Informative Small Group Tour - What a wonderful tour! Debbie, our tour guide, was very informative, interesting, and considerate. Truly delightful in every way! We learned so much about Auckland, its history and development, neighborhoods and hidden gems — exactly what we were hoping for. Loved that we stopped in a quiet and elegant hotel cafe for coffee and later at an incredibly good chocolatier for delicious chocolates. Amazing! We also came away with great recommendations for day trips and some needed shopping tips. The small group tour makes a world of difference. I’d give it 6 stars if I could!! We will definitely go with AuckyWalky Tours again. Top rate.
