Hello, I am Chris. I love sharing Auckland with visitors and helping them experience the city beyond the usual highlights. What fascinates me most is Auckland’s unique geography, from its volcanic peaks and surrounding hills to its beautiful relationship with the sea, beaches, islands, and harbour. I enjoy long walks along the coast and through the Waitakere and Hunua Ranges, and I’m also an avid reader who can rarely pass a bookshop without looking inside. I know the North Shore, especially Devonport, as well as Auckland’s central city and waterfront. I also have a strong interest in Auckland’s history, particularly its military and naval heritage, and enjoy exploring the city’s many parks, reserves, and scenic trails with visitors.
I've lived in Auckland for 15 years
I speak English and some French
I am a retired police superintendent

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.

I’m passionate about helping visitors understand the Māori heritage woven into the city and discovering how Auckland’s many cultures connect with one another. I know the Auckland CBD and South Auckland especially well, and I love showing how the city’s past and present come together. Performing arts are a big part of my life, particularly Kapa Haka, where I enjoy performing songs and sharing the stories of our ancestors. I can also share insights into the Waitākere Ranges and the wider cultural connections across Northland, Waikato, and Rotorua. Join me for a fun and meaningful experience as we explore Auckland, meet its communities, and discover the stories that make this place special!
