What our other guests have said
What an amazing day we had with enthusiastic David Hill soaking up all the forgotten past of Auckland City. Now when travelling into the city each day we can’t help but to look at it in a different light. This is a must for every Aucklander!

My husband and I did an Art Walk with David Hill and we were very impressed with the calibre of the Guide and the information given by him. He was very knowledgeable and took good care of the group. We highly recommend this walk with David to others

My life is richer in so many ways for this learning engagement and travel experience. And again, I have new friends! And David Hill, of Odyssey’s, was amazing. You should request him in the future; no one could do this better.
