"A fantastic way so see and taste Auckland. A totally stress-free travel experience being picked up and returned to the hotel and driven to a variety of sites in Auckland. Elle's expert knowledge of food, wine and culture provided a great insight into life in Auckland. We had plenty to eat and drink without over-indulging. The variety of food suppliers visited would satisfy anyone and the wine tasting was fun."

"The Central Eats-Side tour in Portland was brilliant. It was neat to see a different side of the city and such a diverse and up and coming area. I loved the chocolate and the salamis at Olympia. Thanks Laura, see you next time."

"Ah-Mah-zing day. We did both @thebigfoody tour and @thebigbeertours with Elle and had a blast. We highly recommend you book a tour. Elle didn't just show us the good places to eat and drink, she also curates the tour so we would get a feel of the City, and the stories behind the people and food you are tasting. We are very happy to have had this experience!"
Lily
"So good, so so good, so much fun, food and memories to be had. We just loved our time in Auckland with The Big Foody Food Tours and we're definitely going to go and try it out in Portland when we are there next year. This is a great concept run by great people. Highly recommend"

"Got the new passport and the bag was finally delivered as I was entering the hotel. By the way The Big Foody has been OUTSTANDING!!!!! they would get 5 stars in my book."
Bill (Group experience)
"We thought 6am for a Fish Market tour was going to be really hard, but it was the best way to start our day. We toured around the fish market and met so many of the people involved. It was fascinating and we thoroughly enjoyed seeing this unique little spot. Then we had the best breakfast at Best Ugly Bagels. It was a magical way to start the day."
Chris and Cam
"Hi Elle, I wanted to send a thank you while William and I were there but I had problems with the internet. We had the best time and consider our time with you as our tour guide to be one of the highlights of our trip. We enjoyed everything you did for us. If we are ever to return to New Zealand we would definitely be in touch. And, if we visit Portland will certainly check out that location. Thank you again for such a memorable time. Wishing you much success. Merry Christmas!! Bill and Mary Clement"
