Even though it’s a shared, set menu, the portions are very generous with enough variety to suit any palette. Alex was entertaining and thoughtful. Loved the way she captivated us with the inside historical drama of the area.
Stacey_G, Feb 2026
Excellent Tour. Our guide Alex was extremely knowledgeable of both food and NZ. We had landed that morning and it was a perfect way to start our trip. HIGHLY recommend.
Henry_R, Jan 2026
This is an excellent food tour! Not too much, so you didn't feel bloated...the food was delicious especially the meat pie...and our guide, Alex, was outstanding! Her passion for food and 5th generation history of New Zealand helps make it an outstanding food tour! Thank you Alex!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Nga mihi, thank you Henry. Alex started her career as a chef so loves sharing the NZ food story on this yummy Aucky Walky tour. All our guides just happen to be NZ-born which adds an authentic flavour to every tour.

Debbie and Anna were excellent guides! Very friendly and informative. The places they took us and the food choices, gave us a chance to experience the tastes of New Zealand

Debbie was our tour guide for the Auckland Food Walking Tour. My family and I have tried food tours all over the world; this was one of our favorites. Debbie is very knowledgeable about Auckland’s history, Māori culture, and the best quality food the city has to offer. We learned a lot. had the best time, and ate the most delicious food made with the freshest ingredients. We had yummy lamb kabobs, fish, venison pie, mussels, ice cream, and chocolate. We learned something interesting at each of the stops. Debbie even took us to two grocery shops to pick up Auckland candies and drinks we wanted to try. I highly recommend this food tour and guide.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Wow Grace, such an awesome recap of your private Taste Auckland food tour. Thank you, nga mihi for discovering the yummy side of the city with our friendly guide, Debbie. She enjoyed your company too.
Jean_E, Mar 2025
This tour was fantastic! Our tour guide (I think her name was Alex?) used to be a chef and knew the places to go! The food was incredible! We were in a food coma the rest of the evening! Would rate this higher if I could!
Response from Host, Mar 2025
That's awesome Jean, yes Alex loves what she does. As a passionate foody, former Chef and local Aucklander, she is the ideal guide to unlock the city's delicious food scene for visitors. Thanks for "'coma-ing"our way! :)
Ellen_A, Mar 2025
Did the Auckland food tour with Alex as our guide. We visited some local favorites and sampled their amazing sea food and other favorites. We also had their famous Hokey Pokey ice cream. Absolutely delicious! Alex gave us history and showed us the neighborhood sights. She was a former chef. The food was delicious and plentiful.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Nice one Ellen! We're so pleased you enjoyed our yummy 'food safari'' with food-lover Alex. With a large dose of history, culture and insider information the icing on the cake! Thanks for doing an Aucky Walky on your visit.
Anjela_E, Mar 2025
A read insiders tour to delicious and unexpected goodies and places to return to. Alexa provided a lot of history and info. Her handout sheet also will come in handy during our stay.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Nga mihi, thanks Anjela for your wonderful review and walking our way. Our Locals List is curated by the guide team here at Aucky Walky so its the perfect cheat sheet for first-time visitors.
Mary_P, Mar 2025
We learned so much about Auckland's history & food culture on this tour! It was an excellent way to orient ourselves in the downtown / CBD area and our guide was AMAZING! I would do this tour again if I'm in Auckland.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Thank you Mary, all our Aucky Walky guides are amazing because they love showing off the beauty and hidden secrets of central Auckland. Which so many visitors miss. We hope to host you again soon and that NZ has been an enjoyable destination.
Lyndee_S, Feb 2025
I’ve been on food tours all over the world, and this was one of the most delicious. Debbie was a fantastic host and provided just enough context about what we were eating, how it related to New Zealand specifically, and the purveyor. We enjoyed upscale bites of lamb, fish, mussels, venison pie, chocolate and gelato! We had a nice time chatting with the fellow travelers and got great tips from all from their South Island travels. Highly recommended!
Response from Host, Feb 2025
Awesome Lyndee, such kind words thank you. 'World leading' foody experience woo hoo! Our food tours aren't posh fine dining but good hearty NZ fare which us locals love. And we love looking after our guests. Safe travels to you.
Benjamin_E, Mar 2024
My wife and I had a great time learning about the Auckland food scene with Liz. She took us to some off-the-beaten path places that were excellent. She also threw in detour stops to make sure we checked off some New Zealand favorites. It was a great way to spend the day and learn about other things to do in Auckland as well.
Debbie_D, Feb 2024
What a fantastic food tour! Liz picked wonderful locally owned restaurants to visit. The food was delicious and quite plentiful. Not only did we get plenty of good food, but lots of great information about Aukland and New Zealand- the history, recommendations of things to see, do and eat. I would highly recommend this trip to those who want a relaxed, delicious, informative introduction to Auckland - the food, history and culture.
Elizabeth_H, Jan 2024
Liz was fantastic!!!! The places she took us and the information she shared were all great. I learned not only about Aukland but specific food.
Chase_G, Jul 2023
Liz was phenomenal. It was a lot of fun, awesome variety of food and it was all good!!! Got to try some Auckland staples which turned out perfect! I can’t emphasize how much we liked Liz!
ChristinaMunro, Mar 2023
Liz was absolutely amazing. My mother and I thoroughly enjoyed it. She quickly adjusted some of the foods to fit my mom's palette which was not expected but very appreciated. She's very passionate about her city and its heritage. A definite must.
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Hey you two lovely Canadians, hope the cruise is going well with plenty of bangers & mash :) Thanks C for posting a review - it was our pleasure looking after you both. The beauty of keeping our tours small and our in-depth city knowledge is the ability to tailor tours on the spot. No 'same ole, same ole' here! Wishing you a memorable time with your Mum, plus safe and fun travels. L x

Fabulous food and wonderful guide! History and geography included...and the food was wonderful! Thank-you so much!
Response from Host, Jan 2020
Our pleasure, thank you for coming and posting your review. Agree that this tour includes so much more than Auckland's delicious food. We love helping visitors find their feet on arrival - do this the first day in town, others say!
Kelly_A, Nov 2019
Great tour guide, saw Auckland attractions while sampling food along the way. Went to out of the way eateries and had a choice of food so it appealed to everyone
Janet_P, Apr 2019
We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Liz was friendly, informative and gave us a lot of history about the area and culture as well as trying good food I would have never found on my own! It made for a great first day in Auckland and we got good ideas for other restaurants to try in the area. I would highly recommend!
Norbert_F, Nov 2025
Nice tour of the city with general explanations. The food in the 2 restaurants was ok.. The 2 chocolates at the chocolatier and the ice cream in the ice cream parlor was very good. However, the exquisite and very good restaurants were only described in passing. Would have liked to try a small mixed plate here too. Drinks had to be paid extra. Price quality ratio a bit poor. The guide had tried very hard.

We're glad you enjoyed the professionalism of both our expert guides and the tasty dishes on your small-group food tour.
Rather than 5-star fine dining, we focus on the tucked-away, locally owned restaurants which Aucklanders love.
These delicious eateries in the heart of the city, often miss out on the visitor dollar. And open their kitchens for our mid-afternoon tour.
Supporting the little guys, also keeps our tours affordable relative to similar top-rated food tours in large European cities.
(We internationally benchmark our pricing, after allowing for this booking engine's sizable cut and NZ government sales tax.)
Guests typically review that they leave full to the brim with great NZ kai/food.
We state that drinks are excluded (at time of booking) to keep our tour price affordable and also appeal to non-drinkers.
Wishing your safe travels in NZ and thanks for booking our Aucky Walky food tour.
