Overview

This walking tour with operator Guydeez runs about 3 hours through central Auckland and mixes eating with sightseeing. You meet a local guide at 25 Customs Street West in the CBD, then walk a route that takes in Queen Street, Britomart, the Sky Tower area, Aotea Square, the Viaduct Basin and Auckland Town Hall, stopping along the way for tastings that range from street food stalls to more traditional restaurants. The listing names Manuka honey treats and kumara fries among the food, and reviewers mention meat pies, sausage rolls, sushi and ice cream as things they sampled.

The tour is described as private and exclusive, so no one outside your group joins you, and it can be customised around dietary preferences. The guide also talks about the city's history and culture as you go, and offers suggestions for other things to do in Auckland. Tours run in English, with Spanish also.

It suits travellers who want an introduction to New Zealand comfort food and the CBD on foot, with a guide who can point out places they would not find on their own. One reviewer said the places the guide chose were ones they would never have found themselves. Families have taken it with young children and reported the guide adapted the walk for them.

Common issues. The tour runs outdoors on foot, and one reviewer had to reschedule because of heavy rain and wind in Auckland, which the guide accommodated. The route depends on walking, which may not suit travellers with limited mobility, though the listing does not state an accessibility policy, so check the booking page if this matters to you. There is no hotel pickup, which means you need to get yourself to the CBD meeting point. The listing lists nothing under exclusions, but optional tips for the guide are listed as an optional extra rather than a required payment.
