We look to support local business, bars, craft breweries, and vineyards, the smaller the better. By supporting local we support local communities, small business, and New Zealand. This is about providing a more authentic and higher quality experience for our guests, as well as doing our part to build and improve local communities.
We support businesses that support historic buildings in Auckland city, by supporting these businesses we help to retain these buildings, we help to keep them alive and we help to keep them as part of Auckland. On the Tour we only visit bars that are in historic buildings. Auckland Historic Bar Tour is looking to grow to the point that we can support projects that repair, restore, and further promote our historic buildings.
We aim to be a registered carbon neutral business. Auckland Historic Bar Tour aims to rethink the way that traditional tours work, our stance is that simplicity is key. If we can rethink the way that we approach nightlife activities and the way we do things we can have a positive impact.
We want to show that traveling by foot and public transport is absolutely a viable option in Auckland City, and we can encourage our guests to get out and explore the city sustainably. We look to add value and within that value to teach not only about New Zealand and culture but also ways that our guests can interact and engage with our country in the most positive ways. The hope is that Auckland Historic Bar Tour is a fun introduction to the way that guests will experience the country.

We have participated in many free walking tours around the world and this was definitely one of the best. Our guide was Lucy (I think that was her name,… read more it was over a month ago now) and she was friendly, welcoming and communicated confidently. We learned a lot during our walk and she was able to answer the many questions which came from our group. It is clear that she enjoys this job and is passionate about her city and country. She obviously cared that everyone enjoyed the experience and was keen to keep everyone safe and on the correct side of the road etc when crossing.
Finally, we went on a free walking tour in Christchurch and they could learn a lot from the Auckland tour.
