Great tour! - Really felt like we saw the heart but also special nooks and crannies of Auckland on this wonderful tour. Alex was very enthusiastic, definitely well-informed and had great little stories about history, culture and more. The treats along the way made it even a bit more extra special. Highly recommended!

Great Auckland walking tour! - Great tour with Anna! We travel quite a lot and this tour was more informative than most. Lots of varied information; historical, cultural, suggestions for other things to do and restaurants to consider, etc. Open to all types of questions and answers demonstrated her knowledge of Auckland and overall New Zealand.

Great Day Ashore from our Cruise - Liz is person who is both knowledge and passionate about Auckland and its people. Our walking tour covered a lot of local history through stories mixed with quick shout outs to local businesses we passed. Both expanded our enjoyment of Auckland and I would recommend this for everyone.

Five minutes and we fell in love with Auckland - Hello, I want to apologize for being so tardy in writing a tour review. My husband and I were traveling on a cruise in march and had the pleasure of being on a tour with Liz. As it turns out, it was International Women’s Day and Liz was able to relate this to her Great grandmother, a leading suffragette in Auckland! Her personal stories and knowledge of Auckland and NZ make her the perfect ambassador for country, culture and your beautiful city. Of all places we visited during our month in NZ / AUS, Auckland (and Wahiki Island!) are two places I want to revisit. There is so much more to see and learn about and we want to Thank Liz for such a memorable and informative tour. I use the kiwi bag she gave to the ladies on tour and gladly say where I got it and mention Aucky Walky. Top notch experience. Until next time, Jana & Frank Deluca Surrey, British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦

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.
