What Information This Site Collects

Bookings on this site run through established platforms, and yes, we earn a referral fee when you book. That is the whole business model. It costs you nothing extra, and it never changes which tours appear on the page or how they are ranked. The roster is built from what Auckland actually offers: the CBD tasting walks, the Ponsonby and Devonport food tours, and the Waiheke food-and-wine day trips.

How Your Information Is Used

We do not handle your payment details at any point. When you book a tour, whether it is The Big Foody's Tastebud Tour or a Waiheke gourmet day with Ananda Tours, the transaction happens on the live booking page of the platform, not here. Your card information never touches this site. We simply point you to the listing and the operator takes it from there.

Bookings, Payments And Operators

The information we collect is minimal. We do not ask you to register, and we do not build user profiles or sell data to anyone. Standard analytics may record which pages get visited, in aggregate, the way most websites work. Nothing here is tied to your identity. If you contact us by email, we use your address only to reply and never add it to a mailing list.

Cookies And Similar Tracking

Some cookies are practical and unavoidable: they remember a dark-mode choice or keep a comparison table open between page loads. Others, set by analytics tools, count visits in aggregate so the site can tell whether a guide to Devonport food walks is actually being read. You can block or delete cookies in any modern browser, and the pages here will still load and remain fully readable. What you give up is convenience, not access to the tour information.

Third-party Services

A question we get: does the referral fee inflate what you pay? No. The from-prices shown, such as US$99 for the street food tour with Guydeez or US$160 for the Fullers360 Taste of Waiheke day, match what the operator publishes. The platform sets its own live price, and you see it before you commit. Our fee comes out of the platform's side of the deal.

Your Choices And Contacts

Because we earn from referrals, we have an incentive to list tours people actually enjoy. That aligns with your interests better than it might sound. A walk that disappoints readers does us no good, which is why the roster stays small, ten tours across three categories, and why we name the operator for every single one so you can check them yourself before booking.
