Explore NZ’s most notorious street with a professional local guide. Street art, hidden galleries, art studios & more! Discover hidden laneways & back streets home to fascinating creative communities.
Widely recognised as New Zealand’s most ‘notorious’ street, this neighbourhood has a long and fascinating history. Artists and creatives have always felt at home here amongst the more colourful characters of Auckland.
The walk will start at the Symonds Street Cemetery where we will discover the resting places of several very influential New Zealanders.
Public art is a key feature of this precinct - sculpture and street art beautify the laneways and alleyways that branch off the main strip. We’ll discover works by many of New Zealand’s leading street artists as we walk and talk.
After a quick coffee stop, we’ll head to the cutting-edge contemporary galleries on K’Rd to be challenged and inspired.
The tour ends towards the Ponsonby Road end of K’Rd where you are free to enjoy lunch at one of the many eateries in the area and continue exploring on your own.
Lovely to meet you both, Yi - glad you enjoyed it and hope to see you again one day!
Great to meet you and your husband, Ivy! So pleased you enjoyed the experience. Hope to see you both again one day! Have a lovely day
This was one of the best tours I've ever done
Really enjoyed this and seeing some of the vibrant street art and learning about the artists and visiting galleries in this part of town. A great way to learn more about our fab city, looking forward to doing more of this.
Thanks so much for taking the time to post your review! So pleased you enjoyed the walk; it's such an interesting area! Hope to see you again soon! Take care
Jacqui was a great guide. Friendly, approachable and knowledgeable, she was able to engage the group and share interesting information about street art and other places of interest that on a normal walk, could be passed by unnoticed. Definitely a good way to learn a bit more about the city, even for those who live there.
Thanks so much for your lovely review, Jessica! Was a real pleasure to meet you and hope to see you again one day! Take care
