With just a handful of guests, enjoy an intimate atmosphere that allows for flexible stops, in-depth storytelling, and a deeper connection to New Zealand’s largest city, Tamaki Makaurau.
Begin your journey by exploring the leafy, historic streets of Parnell, Auckland’s oldest suburb, where beautifully preserved Victorian architecture meets trendy boutiques and cafes. Your knowledgeable guide will share fascinating tales about the city’s colonial past and cultural evolution. Next, visit stunning historic churches and the fragrant rose gardens that provide a peaceful oasis in the heart of the city.

While at Cornwall Park, explore Acacia Cottage, Auckland’s oldest surviving home, and learn about the early settler history that shaped the city.
