Excellent, informative walking tour - This is a great walking tour. The name is highly descriptive of the walk. My guide, Diane, was very knowledgeable and professional. She had lots of information to share and we explored many different nooks and crannies in the Auckland CBD. The history of Auckland is so interesting and Diane's expertise on both current and historoc matters was valuable. I learned a lot. I never knew there was such diversity around Auckland city. We walked for most of the tour period, so be prepared to cover some ground - the time passes quickly as there is a lot to see and learn. The "morning tea" is substantial, at the end of the walk at a very nice venue. I would definitely recommend this walk and would happily do others available by this provider. Thank you Diane, it was marvellous.

Great walk around Auckland - This is a fantastic tour around the hidden gems of Auckland. Diane is very knowledgeable about everything from her background at the Auckland Museum. It was really interesting to learn more about the city. I went with visitors from overseas to learn more about Auckland.
