Tour description
Auckland is New Zealand's largest city, a vibrant harbour metropolis built on volcanoes and surrounded by sparkling water that earns it the nickname 'City of Sails'. A true Pacific city, it blends European, Maori and Polynesian cultures. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its history and multicultural spirit.\n\nYou will stroll the revitalised waterfront, wander the historic streets around Queen Street, and hear about the Maori heritage and the settlers who built the city. Along the way you will take in views of the harbour and the iconic Sky Tower. Lively and scenic, Auckland is a rewarding city to explore on foot.
