great goody food tour in Auckland with Kath - Many different foods tasted-there was something for every taste. Kath gave us interesting general information about Auckland by the way. The route was easy to walk. The locations were tastefully decorated. Especially the Hotel de Brett was impressively decorated in Art Deco style.

Wonderful tour with Alex! - We had a wonderful tour with Alex, who showed us amazing foods and a fantastic time. There was never a dull moment and I would happily tour again! The prices were more than fair and the length of the tour was perfect. We had a group of 6 which was perfect for us. Crowds in the areas we visited were to be expected but it was always so easy to keep a group atmosphere without feeling rushed.

An Auckland Must Do! - We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon with Sarah, indulging in a delicious array of local treats across Auckland’s vibrant CBD. Her deep knowledge of the area, genuine love of food, and passionate insights into the city’s chefs and culinary scene enriched the experience far beyond our expectations. It was a true highlight that added exceptional value to our tour. Highly recommended.

Do this first! - I absolutely recommend this tour. It was a fantastic mix of food, wine, city, history and culture. It is a great intro to Auckland - do it on your arrival day! Sarah was an amazing tour guide, loads of knowledge and very likeable and interesting. The only thing that would have made the tour better would be a glass of wine with the amazing cheese board we had. Thanks for the great experience!
