Auckland City Walk

Book now to see what the city looked like in the 1840s, visit the original foreshore several blocks from today's waterfront. Were there really public hangings in Queen Street? What were thousands of troops doing garrisoned in Albert Park? Learn where Auckland's first inhabitants came from nearly a thousand years ago.

Auckland Walks, the leader in city walking tours, takes you on an entertaining discovery experience and orientation of the inner city - embracing natural and social history, public art and heritage architecture - as well as an introduction to some of the retail, dining and entertainment possibilities.

Our enlightening walk leads you through the heart of the city, up into Albert Park and the University precinct and back down into Queen Street. We tell the stories of Auckland through its history, landscape, architecture, public art and spaces.

"Attentive, fun and generous. Opened up your city's fascinating culture and helped me comprehend it on a world scale." - Paul D, Blackfriars, London, UK.

Tours are conducted at a reasonable pace and mobility aids are not recommended. We walk up stairs and uphill on brief occasions. Auckland Walks has been guiding Aucklanders and visitors around the city since 2003. We pride ourselves on our carbon neutral footprint - the only footprint you leave behind is your own.
