Join me to discover my Auckland. I am passionate about sharing Auckland and its region with international visitors. I have been helping visitors and locals alike discover Auckland, its highlights and hidden gems for a decade. My area of expertise is in arts and culture. I can be the guide for you if culture is your thing. We can combine any of the following into a unique experience for you and your friends and family. Consider experiencing our Street Art, Maori Urban Design, Galleries, public sculpture, laneways, architecture, waterfronts, history and cool neighbourhoods into your time in Auckland. I have been running art and culture focused tours since 2007 for small groups, mostly overseas. Now it is time spend more time focusing on what we have at home, here in Tamaki Makaurau and its myriad of volcanic cones, coffee, culture and coastlines. As a practising artist I can share my knowledge and experience of our local art scene with you and recommend local galleries and museums to visit, the best places to buy something to take home, and where to stop for coffee or lunch in between.
