AAANNNDDD Clink! - We were fortunate enough to get Elle for our Anzac Day Big Foody Tour. It was an incredible day, interspersed with delicious bites of food, information about Auckland, and just the right amount of walking for a day in the city. All the stops had delicious food, and Elle's love for what she has put together shone through each moment! We had a blast!

Jonno was a fantastic... - Jonno was a fantastic guide! We loved his enthusiasm and knowledge of the area, he truly made the experience. The variety of food was good and it was great to explore the different types of cuisine and restaurants! The amount of food was enough to get a small taste of everything but not overly filling, just a warning for those expecting a full meal. It's very much a tour of the Auckland city area with snacks on the side, which is what we were expecting and were very happy with. We look forward to returning to NZ and trying out some of Jonno's recommendations in the future.

No gourmet tour because not enough participants to make the tour profitable. - Visit confirmed by 23/04 then cancelled due to lack of optimum participants then re-confirmed to be cancelled on 22/04! It’s not professional since I was only staying 4 days! I could have organized myself differently and taken another tour but the other tour options were already sold out. Disappointing

Is it live insect is a protein? - I booked this tour for me and my friend. There was a live insect inside the Food at first restaurant. I told to the guide but guide told me to eat and said it's just a protein. I can't understand how the guide said live insect is just protein and just eat it. After a while, my friend returned home with a pale face after vomiting at next place and he couldn't ate any food after the first restaurant. Also, I was surprised that Food amount was too small to call as Food Tour. It is definitely not worth it to pay the amount.
