An amazing night, a definite must do not just for tourists but Aucklanders as well! Darcy is incredibly knowledgeable and knows all the best spots. I’m now looking at Auckland… read more city in a completely new light and like a true nerd I’m now off to continue my learning and find out more facts!

Really learned a lot even though I’ve lived in Auckland for 10 years. The tour was very relaxed and had a great atmosphere throughout. I loved the bars we visited… read more and sampled a variety of delicious beverages along the way. Darcy was very engaging and the stories told were both relevant and interesting. Definitely an interesting and different way to spend an evening. I had a great time, met some new people and very much enjoyed myself.

Darcy, our tourguide, is just the personification of the perfect tourguide. We had great laughs, amazing beer, easy chats and learned a lot about Aucklands history. Also the price is… read more pretty fair! Just for the offered drinks you almost pay the same amount. So far the most interesting thing I have done in Auckland.

We talk predominantly about the history of alcohol in New Zealand, the first beer was brewed on March 27th 1773, we also talk about Auckland City and how it has grown and changed. New Zealand is a big country of drinkers and that has meant that there was a drink at almost all of our key moments in history. The fun thing about New Zealand is we can remember them… kind of.
If you are a group of 7 or more people and you would like to do a private Auckland tour we can organise that for you we can even be flexible about the time of day depending on what you are looking for and if there is a special occasion with enough warning we can even work on different content and stories for the tour. Just send a message and inquire and we can go from there.
Tours range in size but we wouldn’t have a tour bigger than 16 people. We are a small business and things week to week are never the same. Doing a tour with us means you are supporting an independent tour company, you are supporting local bars, and you are supporting local beers. The bonus for you is that his is an authentic tour.
