Are you ready to turn your hobbies into a business?
Auckland is rich in Māori and European history, and this dynamic city has a wealth of stories that define it. On this 90-minute self-guided walking tour, I’ll share tales of the pioneering people and events that shaped this vibrant waterfront metropolis. You’ll explore the heart of Auckland’s central business district, and learn about the city’s volcanic origins.
The tour begins at Khartoum Place, where you’ll find out how New Zealand made history as the first country to grant women the right to vote. As we wander through the stunning Albert Park, I’ll share the Māori legend of the god of earthquakes and volcanoes, and the dramatic story of how Auckland, or Tāmaki Makaurau, came to be.
