Our group of Auckland local friends had a great time with Darcy. Really enjoyed the storytelling of each bar, and trying different beers I wouldn't normally try. I even found a new favourite (strawberry rose cider..yum!). Had an awesome night out. Highly recommend, even if you're a local, you will learn something new.
Very enjoyable!

I did the free walking tour around Auckland the day before and Darcy was so good and honestly unforgettable that I decided to come back for the historic bar tour. Such a treat—Darcy is hilarious and incredibly knowledgeable, plus you get to learn about Auckland’s history while drinking good beer 😉 Highly recommend doing both tours if you’re in the city.
It’s an amazing time
