Experience Details

The Tastebud Tour has been our flagship experience since 2010. Over four delicious hours, you'll explore Auckland’s sights, stories, and most importantly, its flavours, on this urban food safari. Taste your way through the city while learning about its food communities: from roasters and bakers to chefs, winemakers, and artisans, guided by local experts.


We showcase key city highlights like the waterfront and volcanoes, sharing how they shape New Zealand’s culinary identity. On weekends, we explore bustling farmers markets, meeting passionate makers who share their craft, rain or shine. During the week, we stop at a beloved local coffee roaster.


No matter the day, this tour dives deep into the flavours that define Auckland, and you won’t leave hungry!
