I'm Louise Y., your private tour guide in Auckland
Guide #792
**Awarded Local Legend By ToursByLocals** for South and Central Asia & Oceania! Kia ora. I would love you to spend some time with me as we explore Tamaki Makaurau (Auckland) and beyond. I grew up on a farm, attended the small local country school, went to high school in Auckland and have lived mostly in Auckland. I will share the sights, secrets and tastes of New Zealand's largest city with you. As your private tour guide you will see the best sights and my favourite spots where you can enjoy the nature, history and culture of a city built on more than 50 dormant volcanoes. Whether you choose to walk or be driven you can be assured it will be at an enjoyable pace. I'm very flexible so you can always suggest or change something as we go. Just relax, have a great day out and enjoy discovering the real New Zealand with me. I have been working with international visitors for about 30 years and have lived and worked overseas. I love travelling and making friends. I'm a great believer in Slow Travel, having a local experience and taking away lots of good memories. Free Wifi available while you are with me. Ka kite ano New Zealand Passenger licence, Current First Aid Certificate, NZ ProGuides member, CELTA - Certificate English Language Teaching Adults, Kiwihost programme Vehicle has COF, TSL and I have a P endorsement on my licence.

Louise is a great tour guide. She took us to various areas to highlight Auckland’s sights and neighborhoods. Highly recommend Louise as a tour guide. We’ve hired Tours by Local several times and have always had a terrific experience.

We had a wonderful day with Louise! She picked us up at the airport and off we went. First to the Arataki Centre, then to the gannet colony and Muriwai beach and finally to Mount Eden before taking us to our hotel. In between, we took some walks, went to a lovely market for a tasty lunch, had Louise-provided snacks at the beach (and got me hooked on L&P soda!) and...

Thanks so much Dorothy for the wonderful comments. I was so happy to meet your family and spend a day out west with you all. Yes I agree, a good introduction to Aotearoa. Safe travels, Louise

We had only one day in Auckland, New Zealand. What a great tour to see the beautiful landscape. Louise was very accommodating, gave us very good insight into the history of the country and its wonderful people. Felt very safe with her driving, gave us just the right amount of time at each stop. What a awesome day!
