‘What we offer is authentic and local, where people can visit a neighbourhood and really explore it or discover a hidden gem they didn’t know about in their own back yard.’

Wilkinson says the current conditions with people restricted in their travel choices has made them ‘more curious’ about their local surroundings.

Events include creative workshops, private tours of galleries and other venues, get-aways to places like West Auckland, and art walks in neighbourhoods such as Karangahape Road. She says brokers and agents who have started their own tour programmes and want to incorporate something different around Auckland are welcome to contact White Glove.

‘It is also appealing to operators who have tours around New Zealand and want to add something authentic in Auckland.’
