Overview

Come join me to walk through time, from volcanoes to the viaduct on my small group guided walking tour of Auckland! From its volcanic origins to stories of pioneering people, Māori legends & key historical events, this tour weaves together the history & culture of the City of Sails, Tāmaki Makaurau. We’ll stop by Auckland Art Gallery, stroll through Albert Park, and uncover the backstreets of old Auckland. Highlights include Britomart, the Viaduct Harbour, and iconic landmarks like the Sky Tower, an America’s Cup Yacht and the New Zealand Maritime Museum. The tour ends at the waterfront with spectacular harbour views. Along the way, marvel at unique public art, visit the Women’s Suffrage Memorial and discover hidden gems like the University of Auckland Clock Tower. With a break for refreshments and insider tips on the best places to eat, drink and shop, this tour is a rich tapestry of stories, history and local charm.
