  • Exercise

Rudyard Kipling described Auckland as ‘Last. Loneliest. Loveliest. Exquisite. Apart.’ This walking tour introduces people to one of the world’s most unique cities, which the indigenous Maori called Tamaki Makau rau ‘ - the place loved by many.’ Starting at the harbourside we walk uptown, exploring the historical narrative contained within the central city valley. We encounter insights into natural history, pre-European and colonial settlement through the cityscape, its geography, architecture, and public art.

This tour is extremely popular with both domestic and international travellers, and with educational groups at all levels, and can be tailored to fit many needs.

I was amazed at what I learned about my own city

Diane F, Auckland, New Zealand

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
