TONY

Hi, I’m TONY

Hi, I’m Anthony, your friendly local guide to Auckland with a soft spot for great coffee, smooth jazz, and anything by the water. I’ve spent years getting to know this beautifully diverse city, from the buzzing CBD to the laid-back charm of Devonport and Takapuna. The North Shore is basically my backyard. You’ll often find me café-hopping or tracking down live music, strictly for research purposes, of course. I know where to eat, where to listen, and where to wander when you want the real Auckland. I’m easygoing, enjoy a good laugh, and love sharing stories along the way. If you’re up for good food, coastal views, and a bit of local insight, we’ll get along just fine.

I’ve lived in Auckland for 26 years

I love Auckland for its perfect blend of nature and architecture, its walkable CBD, and the city’s vibrant cafes and restaurants. As a museum lover, I enjoy exploring the Auckland Art Gallery and the Maritime and War Memorial Museum, and as a music fan, I attend live concerts and festivals whenever I can. I know central and east Auckland well, including Parnell, the CBD, Pakuranga, Howick, Botany, and Grafton, and I love sharing the trendiest restaurants, cafes, and hidden gems around Ponsonby, K Road, and Dominion Road. Let me show you the best of Auckland.

Hi, I’m Ayesha

Auckland

I’m Ayesha, born and raised in Auckland and I know this city like the back of my hand. From the buzzing bars and cozy restaurants in Ponsonby to the sunny beaches of Mission Bay, I love sharing the energy and beauty of my hometown. Whether it’s a long drive through West Auckland, a chill day by the ocean, or exploring hidden gems in Mt Roskill, Ōtāhuhu, or Papakura, I’m always up for an adventure. Music keeps me inspired, from classic hits to pop and hip hop, and I bring that same upbeat vibe to every experience. With me, you’ll see Auckland not just as a city but as a rhythm, a flavor, and a feeling you’ll never forget.
