The Tours
Passion for Fashion Experience
A “Passion for Fashion” morning offers a personal introduction to the city’s wearable design. It’s an opportunity to meet and chat to designers and retailers. This tour will save you time and effort by sourcing the best places to shop.
The itinerary is relaxed, like it is when shopping with friends, and reflects the variety that is Dunedin design that includes jewellery and accessories. Enjoy fashion tips and stories of Dunedin’s fashionable past and present.
Your guide will meet you and your group at your hotel or at an agreed meeting place in the city centre at 9.30 (starting time is negotiable) for a 3 hour tour, finishing with a delightful lunch in one of the city’s most popular cafes.
Please phone for tour options, days and times.

from precious stones, metals and reworked materials. Then be transported to
Dunedin’s best kept secret - Rockbourne. A glass of bubbles

This tour has been created for groups and we require 3 day's notice to ensure availability of jewellers as this tour is outside normal working hours.
Tours 5-7pm for groups minimum 4 persons max 20
Friday Art and Jewellery Tours
Dunedin has a rich variety of dealer art galleries, art studios and workshops that to the uninitiated visitor may be hard to find.
Your arty guide Gill Fisher will introduce you to unique galleries and studios, some hidden away in historic buildings. It’s a chance to meet the gallery owner or artist and learn about some of Dunedin and NZ's finest art and contemporary jewellery.
This tour is available on Fridays from 2.00 – 4.30pm Morning tours can be arranged if required. Minimum group 2 people, Maximum 10 people. Bookings essential.
Conferences
Walk the Talk specialises in partner programmes for Conferences. We work with your Conference organiser or directly with you.
Our fashion and jewellery experiences are designed to give people a personal introduction to the people working in the industry. The size of the group is important for this interaction to work well and have enough guides to ensure that groups do not exceed the maximum of 10 people.
However, if you want to keep your group together we can discuss other options with you.
We are reliant on designers and jewellers opening their personal workspaces for us, so we do need time to organise the itinerary and need confirmation of numbers as early as possible in order to schedule the guides.
Boatshed Art
Another activity option is Lesley Hirst’s one day art course situated in her beautifully restored boatshed on the Otago Peninsula with lunch provided.
