Auckland: Flavours of the City Walking Food Tour - A 3-Hour Walking Food Tour That Doesn’t Feel Like a March

1.Flavours of the City Walking Food Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 202 reviews · 3 hours · from $122Our pick

A 3-hour Auckland CBD walking food tour with local cheeses, Kiwi classics, award-winning bites, artisan chocolate, and a cold drink.

“This was a really well planned food tour. The tour guide was knowledgeable and made the effort to get the group to gel. We got introduced to some great food venues within a small part of the CBD, giving us the confidence to scratch beneath the surface ourselves. There was enough food to cover us for lunch but not so much that we didn't have room for dinner. We took away some top tips that we used later in our holiday. A great tour.”

“I wrote responses to this guide’s questions in advance of my tour. I am a 63-year-old woman with back problems, although I have done guided tours many places with accommodations. This guide apparently had not read that, she planned a 5 km walk with no breaks. In my request, I had asked to pause every half hour to hour. Finally, at the hour point with no breaks in sight, I left. I also had been pretty specific about what I wanted to see and the hour that I did spend was walking around seeing things I really wasn’t interested in. The guide was also frequently texting on her phone, and…”
