Laura was a guide , great choices of food and gave us history of the city. Perfect tour as it provided a mix of Street food and fine dining.

I only rate this 4 out 5 because there were food items on offer I've never liked, such as Oysters. I know this was a food tour, but what stood out most to me was our host, Clare. She was genuinely sincere and concerned that everyone was enjoying themselves. Clare made proper introductions of all once we were all there and made sure to give everyone personal attention. I enjoyed the historical background and current information about the downtown area. I've included a picture of sonething in the pavement that tourists walk right over, but the history behind it was enlightening. Well done!

Laura was our guide, great history lesson to go with some great food samples. The dumplings were our favourite. Highly recommend to anyone looking for something to do with a spare 3 hours and an easy walk around the CBD. Also some great food/restaurant recommendations.

Went on the Big Food Tours in Auckland with my friend and we had the best time. Our tour guide, Jouno, was absolutely fabulous—so knowledgeable about New Zealand and its food scene. We tasted our way through oysters, charcuterie, wine, ice cream, and so much more. We truly left with a taste of Auckland and would definitely recommend this experience to anyone visiting.

What a great way to see a bit of Auckland and learn about the local history and architecture all while getting aquatinted with some of the restaurants in the area. We really enjoyed our time with Kath and Claire and hated for the tour to end. All of the food selections were wonderful and they even took great care to accommodate the gluten intolerant person in our group. They seem to have a great relationship with the restaurateurs which made for nice interaction while visiting them.

We had a fabulous, fun and informative tour. We were surprised by the amount and variety of the food. The pace was perfect. The star of the show is Laura who is a true pro! Thank you, from Ireland 🇮🇪.

Laura was great! This was our first food tour ever, so we did not know what to expect. However, we learned so much about the culture and history of Auckland because of Laura’s knowledge.

Laura was fantastic. We had a great time and great food. We learned more about this city in this tour than most others. Each dish was delicious.
