**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.

Overview of your Auckland tour

See Tamaki Makaurau Auckland through my eyes. You will see all the popular landmarks and highlights with the bonus of visiting the North Shore and Devonport. View the city from a different perspective with all its natural landmarks, volcanoes, harbours, seas and marinas. Need something special, just ask me! I also know the best places to dine in Auckland so you can enjoy our freshest food and seafood specialties. Have your tried Paua (our own abalone)? Your Auckland's Best offers a little bit of everything and a good dose of 'Kiwi' culture. Lots of stops for photos and walks along the way. Morning tea is a chance to try a flat white coffee and baking. Lunch is at a favourite cafe and enjoy a Hokey Pokey ice cream later in the day. As your own personal guide & friend let me provide you with an intimate introduction to the City of Sails and its beauty. I will show you areas of the city where I have worked and lived and we meet some interesting people along the way
