Great way to spend an evening

Shona_S, Nov 2025

We had such a great time with Darcy! The choices of bars really went well with the history timeline and his stories were well presented (hey hey hey!). I would recommend this tour as the guide, the bars and the beers were all top notch.

Fun Pub Crawl!

Great bar and beer tour! Darcy is a terrific homegrown guide who shares lots of history and insights into the five bars, Auckland, and other stops along the way. Cheers!

My husband and I loved...

My husband and I loved this tour! Darcy is hilarious with great commentary and stories about the history of Aukland. They had a great range of ciders and beers for us to try along the way and showed us several places we would have never seen otherwise
