Liz provided an excellent introduction to Auckland which gave us a good basis to make the best of our short time there. Her recommendations on things to do/where to eat were very useful. We finished the tour much more knowledgeable about New Zealand. The treat highlight was Cocoa Wilds which is the best chocolate store I have ever been in. Overall Liz was a very personable, insightful and an overall excellent guide.

We spent our first day in New Zealand with a walking tour with Anna and she provided a detailed history of Auckland and New Zealand that will serve as a strong basis for the balance of the trip as well as keen insights for our time left in Auckland. Thank you.

What a fantastic walking tour Liz did with us. She took us to a beautiful coffee shop and we talk some more about Auckland. Her tour was very interesting.

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 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.

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.

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 🇨🇦

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!
