Auckland Free Walking Tours

About Auckland Free Walking Tours

”Join us on our daily guided walk through the streets of Auckland’s central hub. Departs daily at 10am and 2pm. Meet us at the entrance to Queens Wharf and next to the Ferry building. The Walk Taking off from Auckland’s downtown, the walk heads up through Britomart Transport Centre, taking you through the city’s pedestrian laneways and right up to the recently renovated Auckland Art Gallery. You’ll then wander through the historic Albert Park and University of Auckland, before heading back down to Auckland’s famous viaduct precinct and across Te Wero Bridge, concluding among the hustle and bustle of the always-interesting Silo Park. Why Are We Free? Auckland Free Walking Tours is really, truly a social enterprise, which means we really, truly do this because we’re just that passionate about showing visitors our weird and wonderful city. That’s what inspired the creation of AFWT, and that’s what our motivation will always be. But we do also live in the real world, with real running costs, and real tour guides to pay. To make these ends meet, AFWT does encourage all our happy customers to offer their guide a ‘koha’ (gift, donation, contribution) at the end of the tour. Your koha will go directly back into our collective, so that we can pay our awesome guides to keep showing off our awesome city. About Us The world is a big and brilliant place, each corner of it with its own history, its own culture, its own story. The Auckland Free Walking Tours team have pounded the pavements of dozens of cities across the globe, in constant awe of their offerings. Eventually though, the question had to be asked: why not have our own story told in our own city? Auckland is our little corner of the world, and Auckland Free Walking Tours exists to introduce you to this place we call home. The AFWT team is passionate about making sure that each and every visitor to our big little city experiences the Auckland that we know, the Auckland that we love—the Auckland that we know you’ll love too. There is an energy here that is all around us, you just have to look in the right places. We’ll show you how. Walk with me. Read more
