Welcome to City Walks
Dunedin is a special place; walk with us to appreciate its people, buildings and landscapes.
Athol Parks, your City Walks guide.
We offer two comprehensive guided heritage walks: the established Old Town Walk and the Otago University-focused Town & Gown Walk. We also offer two shorter walks: the Breakfast Walk (includes breakfast!) and the Heritage Highlights Walk (whisky and haggis, anyone?). See our Walks page for details.

City Walks news
Walk season has just ended!
Sorry folks, we hate to close things down. Next season will kick off on October 1st, 2012. There'll be a new mix of products, but we're retaining our popular 'Old Town' and 'Heritage Highlights' walks. Details to be advised. You can still contact us if you have any comments or questions, or if you're hoping to book a group tour - we may be able to accommodate you.
Pedestrian legends
City Walks and Hair Raiser Ghost Tours went head to head last season in a tribute to Joe Scott - Dunedin's original walk hero. Details on this extraordinary event here (see Gallery page for photo):

Testimonials
"Athol, we recently did a tour of the University with you which was really fascinating and completely enlightening. Your personable style makes you great company and we were extremely regretful that we did not have sufficient time to do more of your tours.. Thanks for your assistance in making our short holiday so memorable." (Nick & Margaret Trewhella, Essendon, Victoria, 2011/12)
Media wrap
City Walks topped the 'To Do' list in North & South magazine's July 2011 Dunedin travel feature. Also last season, Mark Chipperfield of the The Telegraph (UK) wrote that our Town & Gown Walk was one of the 5 best things to do in Dunedin (though he got our phone numbers wrong!):
