   We were met by our tour guide, Anna, in the lobby of the hotel. We are a family of 4 and had a short time in the city of Auckland and wanted to make sure we saw the highlights and learned about the history, culture, food, etc. We immediately hit it off with Anna. She is so personable and relatable! After we headed out — Anna had a great tempo for our tour, leaving time for questions and exploration. Our tour was booked as a 3-hour private sightseeing walk. She shared the historical sights of the harbor, the key stories and historical activities that have shaped Auckland to be what it is today, and what we all appreciated the most were the things she pointed out to see that we never would have noticed ourselves while out exploring. There was a planned stop at two of the favorite local spots to sample coffee and chocolates which gave a nice rest break and time for reflection and discussion at what we had already seen and what we were about to see. The tour was a mix of the harbor, the town, history, culture— it was not strenuous yet still a good pace and very enjoyable. Highly recommend!!

   The guide’s name was Liz and she did an amazing job to bring us around the hidden alleys and the hype cafes of Auckland. She did the three hour tour at a very very manageable pace and we were given very detailed information about the local food, buildings and what we can look out for. I thoroughly enjoyed the company and the laughter. Awesome experience, will continue to support this female-founded business.

   Liz is an excellent guide: knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and very attentive. She conveys great pride in her home city and extends a very warm welcome to visitors. In addition to the informative tour, she provides a handout that we’ve used to choose restaurants, plan day trips, and prioritize food choices to maximize exposure to local delicacies. I recommend doing this A+ tour early in your trip so that you can benefit from her wise advice when exploring on your own.

   We had an amazing tour with Liz, we highly recommend doing an Aucky Walky Tour if your in Auckland. It was a great way to see many parts of Auckland that we would have never found ourselves. Our tour start time had to be shifted from morning to the afternoon due to the rain, and Liz kindly sent over rainy day activities to do in the morning. She also sent us some recommended restaurants across the North Island after the tour which was above and beyond what we expected, but so appreciated!

   The Aucky-Walky tour was the *perfect* way to get a fast intro to the city center while eating great food! Tour guide Liz is a 5th-generation Aucklander, so was able to bring a deep knowledge that you'd be hard pressed to find elsewhere. My advice: make this tour one of the first things you do in Auckland: then you will feel some familiarity as you continue stay. Not to mention you'll also come away with great pointers of the restaurants and other places to visit while you're here.

   Liz is PHENOMENAL! She is an Auckland native and really showed us things we would have never noticed about the city, that even locals don’t know about. She was personable, knowledgeable, and really set us up for a phenomenal trip! Her recommendations will fill all of our time here. Her knowledge around the history of Auckland and how the community operates now was an invaluable insight! She also took us to enjoy some treats, taught us some Maori, and welcomed us to NZ! 10/10! So grateful we did this!
