GLAD we did this - We had a delightful time with Debbie and it was a great way to start our trip. The food was good and we were able to see many sights along the way. AND because it was part of my birthday trip, they gifted me a tote that I ended up using a lot. THANKS SO MUCH!

Great walking tour -Would recommend - Debbie was a great guide and helped us understand all things about Auckland. We stopped for coffee along the way and also stopped for some chocolate treats at Cocoa Wilds, the latter being a must if you are in Auckland, fantastic chocolates to try and buy! Debbie provided some recommendations for after the tour which we have tried and they were excellent. Thanks again Debbie and team and would highly recommend this tour.

Very thoughtful Tour - Liz was terrific. Very thoughtful tour guide. We have recently moved to Auckland and wanted to learn more about the City and its history. Liz was very knowledgeable and respectful of the city and gave great tips on the best places to shop and eat.

Great overview of Auckland - Anna gave us a great overview of the city including its history and the influence of the Māori people. We explored the harbor area and downtown. The focus was on the significance of the local artwork and how Auckland developed over time. The treat stops were a bonus. We did a lot of walking and the route included some hills, so wear comfortable shoes.

A great tour & guide - On a rainy, dreary day Liz lit up the scene with her smile. She graciously gave us the complete tour, and was charming as we trudged along. Aukland is a great city, with many secrets that only locals know about. So glad we took this tour, it was fun to go back to see some amazing places and explore on our own.

A great local's perspective - Our tour guide Anna highlighted both the history and local flavor of the city and also spoke beautifully of the natural wonders and the people's efforts towards conservation and protection for the environment. She also celebrated Auckland's unique connection to the Maori people. We will definitely visit many of the locations she recommended as well as the ones we saw on the tour. P.S. Anna if you're reading this - please send us the group picture!

Great introduction to Auckland - We thoroughly enjoyed out tour with Jo. We only had one day in Auckland and it was a great way to spend the morning. She has convinced me that I need to go back and spend more time. She was interesting and knowledgeable. I seriously could have spent the whole day with her.
