Read moreHAPPY HOURS ! We met Darcy for the shooting of a report we were doing for the french public television and we absolutely enjoyed every bit of the time we spent with him. He took us to the most historical bars of Auckland, shared with us his huge knowledge on his country & his city and provided great information on the subject we were working on (the six O' clock swill !).

Darcy is a great storyteller and a cool fellow and his tour is thrilling, original and full of humour. Highly...

The guide was super knowledgeable and really good at including people and their specific interests into the facts and info. The other people in the group were great too, all on the same level, I think it would be social even if you went on your own. It was a really cool experience, I would...
