Auckland is an ideal city to explore through its flavors, and on this walking tour, a knowledgeable local food guide will take you through the markets, food streets, and culinary traditions that shape local life.

You will stroll through the central market among produce and spice stalls, discover where locals buy bread, cheese, and sweets, and hear about the dishes and drinks that make Auckland unique. Along the way, your guide will share the city’s culinary history and the local specialties most worth trying. Delicious and authentic, this is Auckland through food.
