**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.

Food and Beverage drives Auckland's economy and this is a great chance to explore it. Come with me to my neighbourhood and one of Auckland's famous streets known for its multi-cultural atmosphere and eclectic collection of street art, food, coffee, and architecture. Smell the coffee roasting and enjoy a flat white in the company of locals. Spend the morning enjoying the cafe and coffee culture of Auckland, relax over lunch and then in the afternoon explore Auckland. You have options for walks and sightseeing to work off those calories. Lunch is a little bit special and is a 5-course small plate meal with either a glass of wine, beer or soda - let's relax. Something for everyone as we visit a big selection of cafes and bakeries including vegan. Eat and drink in the morning and enjoy the sights of Auckland in the afternoon. Afternoon sightseeing allows for further exploring the City of Sails and of course a Hokey Pokey ice cream if you have space left. The options are endless and I can customise this for you
Tamaki Makaurau is Auckland. I will take you to 3 different areas all known for their coffee and cafe culture. - Begin with a drive through downtown which will be a great introduction to a city that prides itself on its gourmet reputation. Let's park at my house and walk to explore the local area including cafes, restaurants, galleries, bakeries, coffee roaster, book shops, supermarkets & enjoy the architecture and art found in this historic and colourful area. Next, I take you to enjoy a converted warehouse where you will get a taste of inner city lifestyle. I am here every day so I know its good - Then it's time for lunch so make sure you have saved some room for a beautifully presented & delicious meal. You will enjoy the wonderful atmosphere of being in the City of Sails and dining at 'the food embassy for Aotearoa and the Pacific - After lunch explore the City of Sails with its volcanoes, nature, parks, waterfront & all the yachts that give the city its nickname. You may not need dinner

I will pick you up in my brand new Hyundai Santa Fe. We will park and then walk to the various cafes, shops and areas. Pick up the car to move to the next area and in the afternoon there will be a mix of walking and driving.
