Tour Overview

Embark on a morning or afternoon walking tour through Auckland, exploring the vibrant heart of the city with a knowledgeable local guide. This small-group experience, limited to a maximum of ten participants, ensures a more personalized journey through Auckland's bustling streets and serene spaces.

Your adventure begins on Auckland's 'golden mile', the bustling main street that pulses with the energy of the city. Here, you'll feel the rhythm of daily life as locals hurry along, and you'll see the architectural beauty that defines Auckland's skyline.

From there, the tour ascends to the city's highest point, a park that is not only a green oasis but also a site steeped in history, housing Auckland's air raid shelters. As you wander through, your guide will share stories that paint a vivid picture of Auckland's past, intertwining Māori and European heritage.

A highlight of the tour is a visit to the city's theatre precinct, where the much-loved landmark, home to Auckland's orchestra, offers a glimpse into the cultural soul of the city. The architecture here speaks volumes of Auckland's appreciation for the arts, echoed further at another stop, where you'll admire a building celebrated for its innovative design housing Auckland's treasured art collections.

The tour also offers a taste of local cuisine with included refreshments and a tasting session, giving you a flavor of what Auckland has to offer.

Conclude your exploration in a heritage mall, where local retailers showcase everything from premium merino fashion to exquisite New Zealand art. This spot perfectly captures the essence of Auckland style and creativity, making it an ideal end to your tour.
