Overview

Our walk takes us through the inner city, learning about Auckland’s history from early Māori habitation through to modern new developments. We are known as the city of sails but what is even more unique is that we are a city of extinct volcanoes. We weave our way down side streets and lanes, some of it on reclaimed land, past the Art Gallery and into Albert Park. We walk through Auckland University, where we see a Māori marae and a Fale Pasifika. We return to our meeting point via the entertainment area of Aotea Square, Queen Street and side streets, pointing out places of significance along the way. Auckland is undergoing a great re-vitalisation so there has never been a better time to explore our great inner city. All this walking will make us thirsty so we finish our tour at a location where you will be able to purchase drinks and snacks and sit down to talk about other places of interests.

A walking tour that gives you an in-depth insight into the iconic buildings, Auckland's history, etc etc.

Published on Jan, 2025

we spent roughly 3 hrs. on this walking tour that introduced us to the history of the many iconic buildings, Art Gallery, the University grounds, Aotea Square, the early Maori habitation, etc. and found it all to be very informative. The walk is mostly on flat ground. We stopped at The Stables for a break which is a lovely interior to explore all by itself.

Great day out in Auckland

Published on Nov, 2024

Learning about the history and development of the city and having the opportunity to interact with our local guide.

It was really a good tour. I enjoyed the walk and Thank very much Diane. I received a lot knowledge from the tour and it’s highly recommended.

Diane the guide was very informative. The walk was really interesting and the end-of-tour coffee stop at the Great Windsor was terrific!

Great walk around Auckland

Published on Jan, 2020

This is a fantastic tour around the hidden gems of Auckland. Diane is very knowledgeable about everything from her background at the Auckland Museum. It was really interesting to learn more about the city. I went with visitors from overseas to learn more about Auckland.
