Auckland Insights with a Friend - Having Liz give us her personalized tour saved us so much time and gave us an awesome appreciation of Auckland. Her easy style put us at ease immediately. She made it clear the 3 hours were ours, and only wanted to do what we wanted to do. Liz mixed in Auckland History I have a question and Maori culture with insights on great places to eat and shop. The planned stops were well timed, comfortable and tasty. Our time together went fast and we feel like we have a new friend. We recommend this tour highly.

Great intro to Auckland and New Zealand - Anna was a great guide. She is very knowledgeable and you can tell she loves what she does. She shared a lot about the culture, even talked about the common foods. Being with Anna gave us a great introduction to our 4 weeks to come in New Zealand.

Aucky Walky - We landed in Auckland early morning, February 14. Took a quick nap and met our guide Liz in our hotel lobby. Liz took us to several points of interest in Auckland, providing history and context along the way. It was fun and well paced tour. Liz is a knowledgeable and engaging guide.We stopped for a delicious croissant and coffee as part of the tour too! You’ll cover a lot of ground highly recommend Liz.

Must do! Excellent pace, fascinating. - Wonderful tour with the effervescent and fascinating Alex. She kept a perfect pace, giving us wonderful summaries and tidbits of information, never bogging down. She knew so much about her city, and pointed out great details that even lifelong Aucklanders aren’t aware of. She clearly loves this city and her enthusiasm was contagious. This is a must do!
