Terms, Conditions & Privacy Policy

Reservation and Payment

Any online or telephone reservation or booking must be accompanied by confirmation of payment of the full price of the selected tour together with any associated booking fees that may apply. Until payment in full is received by Auckland Historic Bar Tour the tour booking is not confirmed.

Delays, Cancellations, & Refunds

Tours booked and paid online will be refunded 100% (minus an administration fee if deemed necessary by Auckland Historic Bar Tour) of the cost of the tour – less any booking fees incurred – only if customer cancellation is notified 48 hours or more prior to the tour departure time. A 50% refund applies to notification between 24 hours and 48 hours prior to departure. There will be no entitlement to a refund for any cancellation notified within 24 hours of the tour departure time.

I understand that who refunds me depends on whether I made my booking directly through Auckland Historic Bar Tour or through a booking agent re-selling their tours.

If the ticket or voucher was booked through a booking agent, the person who made the booking will need to contact the booking agent for a refund.

If the ticket was bought directly from Auckland Historic Bar Tour then we will reimburse the cost of the ticket (less administration fee of 10% if deemed necessary by Auckland Historic Bar Tour).

Changing a booking date

I understand that if I need to change my booking, I must advise Auckland Historic Bar Tour more than 48 hours prior to my original tour date or my change of date will be viewed as a cancelation.

I understand that Auckland Historic Bar Tour reserves the right to change or cancel tours due to either operating difficulties or circumstances beyond their control. I accept that my tour might be altered without notice beforehand, at the start of the tour, or during the tour as circumstances dictate. That in the event that my tour is altered Auckland Historic Bar Tour will do their best to make contact with me using the information I provided them at booking.

This clause does not apply if passengers choose to vacate the tour early or passengers who have caused such delay by their own actions.

I understand that a tour requires a minimum of five participants to proceed. If the minimum number is not reached then the company reserves the right to change, reschedule, or cancel any bookings.

Frequently
asked questions

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.
