Auckland Food Walk Tour: 5 Tastings, Hidden Lanes & Legends
Overview
Eat your way through Auckland's hidden lanes on this moving feast of mouth-watering New Zealand-style food, with all food included.
Every stop is hand-picked by your local guide for great food and local vibes and you'll discover the real story of New Zealand cuisine — from traditional Māori influences to the modern flavors shaping Auckland's amazing food scene today.
Between restaurants, your guide will point out street art and city landmarks, so you're getting a taste of Auckland's culture as much as its cuisine.
Along the way, you'll duck into a local store for a crash course on New Zealand's quirkiest treats: from pineapple lumps (a chewy, chocolate-coated Kiwi candy) to hokey pokey — New Zealand's beloved honeycomb-toffee ice cream flavor.
Skip the tourist traps and expect a fun afternoon of eating well: appetizers, shared mains, and dessert, in a small-group setting that keeps things relaxed around the table and genuinely local.
