This isn’t my usual type of activity but I’d heard good things from others who had been, so when a friend invited me I was keen to give it a… read more go – and it was great! It’s a lot more of an interactive experience than I expected, it was super informative but in a way that was more like a discussion or sharing cool stories than just being told some random facts. Generally just great vibes, I would definitely recommend.

What a wonderful couple of hours spent on Saturday morning exploring downtown Auckland with our fabulous guide Sarah from Auckland Free Walking Tours. To think we have walked… read more past and stepped over so many wonderful historical sites without a blink of an eye! Our group included not only out-of-towners, but also Auckland locals who too were intrigued with the stories and information given by Sarah. We will most definitely recommend this tour to our friends and what a great kick-start to post COVID19 exploration of our own backyard!

We thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent on this tour. Our guide was knowledgeable, with an engaging presentation style. He was easy to understand, kept the group together… read more and stayed on the expected time.
We learned a lot about New Zealand and Auckland, both the history and current state. Highly recommended!

The tour starts at 6:30pm and goes on til 9:30pm and after that you’re free to continue on well into the night with your new found friends.
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.
For private tours it depends entirely on you. For our regular tours…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.
