Āmiki Tours is a locally owned, whānau-operated tour company offering cultural and culinary walking experiences in Ōtautahi Christchurch. Its tours blend Māori and multicultural storytelling with local food, history and city exploration, led by indigenous guides.
The range includes short 90-minute city tours that explore Christchurch's heart through local myths, history and hidden gems; a four-hour progressive food tour through laneways and historic precincts with stops at eateries and bars for seasonal kai and paired beverages; evening inner-city food-and-drink tours; and place-based education tours tailored to specific learning outcomes. Āmiki was founded by Riwai Grace and his wife Cate; Riwai drew on more than 20 years in New Zealand's fire and emergency services, and a habit of guiding lost visitors, to build a business around storytelling and good food.
For MICE organisers, Āmiki Tours is well suited to conference and incentive programmes in Christchurch — the operator is listed among the city's event services — offering delegates authentic cultural context, guided food experiences and flexible group tours that add a distinctive local dimension to an itinerary.
