We love getting local knowledge that you just don’t get in guide books. Anna was absolutely brilliant, had her tour planned and adjusted it based on what we were interested in. A great way to be introduced to Auckland.

We had a terrific morning with Anna of Aucky Walky (fab name!). We especially loved all the additional hints and tips about what to do while in the City of Sails, the pit stop at Hotel DeBrett (a beautiful Art Deco hotel), and being introduced to Byron, the owner of Cocoa Wilds Chocolate, who makes delicious handcrafted chocolates. We enjoyed them so much that we went back and brought some home to the UK! We’ll remember the morning fondly when we enjoy these delights. 😋 Highly recommend!

Liz was knowledgeable and very personable. We covered a lot of ground both literally and topic wise. Liz had plenty of insider tips and answered all our questions. We really enjoyed the sweet treats too. After Liz’s walking tour, we wished we had more time to spend in Auckland because there is just so much to see and do!! Highly recommend!! Thanks, Sarah and Jo Mark

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.
