**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.

A day in the countryside enjoying nature, views, a Sculpture Garden, Food and Wine
Overview of your Auckland tour
Sometimes it's great to escape the hustle and bustle of downtown Auckland and enjoy all the things that New Zealander's love to do. It doesn't take long to leave the city behind and enjoy a day in the countryside. Food is my passion and that's the reason I love this day out so much. Lunch is included and will included lots of fresh flavours and maybe some new foods, The perfect opportunity to meet locals, enjoy the farmland and amazing views as we pass through villages and farmland. Today we are enjoying bush walks, sculptures in the garden, wineries, a gourmet food store, nature, and amazing views to the Tasman Sea. I do like to start and finish the day with views from our amazing volcanoes! A little bit of walking involved. .

Our Auckland Escape with Louise was excellent. We saw a few highlights in the city, but mostly wanted to focus on the suburbs and countryside. Louise showed us all the best from Devonport to Helensville and many places in between. Lunch at The Butcher Baker in Helensville was amazing - definitely a highlight of the full day tour. The Kaipara Coast Sculpture Gardens were also unique and well worth a visit. Seeing the views from multiple extinct volcanoes was also excellent. And with perfect timing, we were able to see the start of the Round North Island Yacht Race, from the North Head Historic Reserve. Overall a superb excursion that gave us a great appreciation for the area around Auckland and all its beauty.

Louise took us a fantastic day outside Auckland. We were able to experience so much that we never could have done otherwise. She told us so much information about what we saw as well as sharing a bit of personal history related to the area. The day was so enjoyable that it flew by in a flash. We highly recommend Louise it you’re in the Auckland area for a visit.
