Drink history! - It might be the alcohol talking but this was a great tour! We basically had a private tour in May since it was off season and it was a lot of fun! Bring a jacket if coming in May (and maybe an umbrella)!

Best Way to Learn about Auckland - We had such an incredible time with Darcy on this tour! He is an amazing tour guide with interesting history about Auckland, he took us to some of the coolest spots - and all were unique in their own way. He is so passionate about what he does, and clearly has a love for this fabulous country. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great time with the best guide!

Pub Crawl in Auckland - We didn’t know what to expect but we ended up having a great time with our host on this historic bar tour. We met at Brew on Quay Bar where bb we met Darcy and had our first drink of the night. Turns out that bar was… well you need to hear Darcy tell you what it is. . We then went to the second bar which turns out to be, and again you need to hear Darcy tell you the stories. The fourth bar was inside the Hotel The Brett and my favorite bar. The fifth bar was at the oldest bar with its own brewery and I actually had one of its beers and I am not a beer drinker.
Glad we did this tour because we learned about the history of Auckland while visiting and drinking at some of Auckland’s historic bars. Highly recommended. I know these “Bolivian” girls had a great time.
