Greytown Tales on Foot – Walking Tour

Greytown Tales on Foot

Old pubs, town acres, and tall tales… Join us for a guided heritage walk through the Greytown you thought you knew.

Greytown Tales on Foot

Take a Walk Through Greytown’s History - this leisurely guided walk explores early stories, streetscapes, and standout characters that shaped the town. We’ll begin and end at two of Greytown’s historic pubs — but along the way, you’ll also hear colourful tales of the ones that have disappeared from the streetscape. From original town-acre-allocations and early churches, to hidden corners and colourful transformations, each stop brings the past vividly to life. We’ll pause at key sites to share visuals and stories that reveal the town’s unique beginnings and evolution.

Whether you’re a local or a visitor, you’ll come away with a fresh appreciation for one of New Zealand’s most historic towns.

11am Sunday 9 November 1.5 hour duration Start at Greytown Hotel, 33 Main Street – enjoy a cuppa/morning tea before we set off Finish at The White Swan – with a well-earned drink
