Thoroughly enjoyed this three hour walking tour on our first morning in Auckland , just 4 of us in total plus our guide Debbie. Really gave us a great orientation to the city, not to mention loads of recommendations of what to do and see, where to eat etc. there is nothing like local knowledge! Loved learning more about Auckland‘s history too, plus was fun to be taken around a deli and have some great local produce highlighted (Whittakers chocolate a definite winner!)
Today we hopped on a ferry to Devonport on the north shore and climbed up a hill for some fabulous city views; something that we simply wouldn‘t have thought to do without Debbie‘s enthisiastic recommendation. Had an amazing lunch at Kingi yesterday, and have booked The Shed on Waiheke for lunch tomorrow, again reccs from Debbie.
Guidebooks are great, but local knowledge can’t be beaten.
Everyone should do an aucky Walky tour on their first day here; highly recommended.
