Sampled the Auckland food scene

5.00Laura was very knowledgeable about the food scene, took us to excellent restaurants specializing in a wide range of food (Szechuan pork dumplings, oysters and mussels, Indian cuisine, NZ cheeses, and locally made gelato), and conducted a well-paced tour. She was fun to be with and knew a lot about the city and its history and architecture and was willing to answer any questions we had about NZ.
Delicious Food!

5.00We had a wonderful time with JK. He was so knowledgeable in the history of NZ, which me and my family enjoyed. The food was absolutely delicious, and he gave great recommendations for restaurants to check out during the rest of our stay. We highly recommend this tour. Maybe do it the first day, that way you have a list on where to eat and sites to check out.
Just the right amount

5.00Cannot recommend this experience highly enough! Our tour guide, Sarah, was knowledgeable, kind, and fun. I especially enjoyed learning about the history and revitalization of the wharf area. The food itself was absolutely delicious, both adventurous and still maintaining quality and enjoyment. Each stop had its own flare and flavors, whether sweet or savory. I particularly enjoyed the tasting menu of seafood. There is a fair bit of walking, but easy access to rest stops at each location and restrooms as well. Highly recommend this tour!
Yummy, yummy, yummy!

5.00This was an INCREDIBLE experience! Our tour kind, Sarah, was knowledgeable, kind, and had great information both about the food and the city in general. The food itself was delicious, and we went to a variety of spots that all had their own flare and flavor. The food was adventurous while still maintaining quality and enjoyment, and we learned so much about Auckland's history. I especially enjoyed hearing about the revitalization of the area around the wharf and how it has changed over time. Our small group was very friendly and got along well, and it was a great time all around. Highly recommend!
