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.

We had a tour with Louise and it was fabulous. She knows Auckland inside and out, and customized the tour on the fly — pointing out architectural details for my husband, who has a particular interest in art, sculpture, and stone construction. Her deep knowledge of Auckland gave us tremendous insight into the city and its rich Māori heritage. She has a great sense of humor...

Louise was outstanding. Although we only had one day in Auckland, we felt as though we really hit the highlights thanks to Louise and her knowledge. She was an excellent guide, very flexible, and really knew Auckland and New Zealand inside and out. Having a guide like Louise in New Zealand was truly special and we were honored to have accompanied her and learn a bit...

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.
