Wonderful Urban Beer Tour

Gary_P, Mar 2024

Lots of fun with Matt and the crew on this tour. Wonderful background history plus lots a great beers! Well-maybe 1 beer wasn’t to my liking. Live and learn! Great tour

Awesome

James_S, Feb 2024

The beers, meeting new people and of course our tour guide Jeremy who knew a lot for someone who had to fill in, the best experience ever, and I will be back again

Love Craft Beer? This is a must do!!!

Karen_W, Feb 2024

Wow, wow, wow! If you are a craft beer fan this is a must do!! We met Jeremy at our hotel and had an amazing short trip to a lookout point which offered a view of Auckland. Then the beer started, we went to three cool brew pubs and had flights so we could taste the variety of beers offered in Auckland. Jeremy was such a knowledgeable guide and amazing host👍. We had plenty of food for lunch and tried Hazys, Stouts, Lagers and many more. We learned about the brewing process - met great people - our tour had 8 and everyone was friendly - from Australia, New Zealand and the USA. I highly recommend this tour - we had a wonderful time - great value for the money!!

If you like beer…

Scott_L, Jan 2024

Great fun! Matt was an excellent guide to both Auckland and its beer culture. Included lunch was very good. The three beer tasting stops each had six generous tastings so a very wide variety of great, interesting brews.

Great Value and Amazing Experience

Beverly_F, Aug 2023

We had such an incredible time on this tour. Each brewery had a different vibe, and it was great to learn more about the brews and breweries with an individualized conversation with employees at Urbanaut and Garage Project. The value for money was top notch, and we were fed much more than we anticipated for lunch at Good George--and it was all so good! The highlight for us, though, was our incredible guide, Matt. When Matt learned we had just arrived in Auckland, he made a special tourist stop for us at Savage Memorial Park. When he learned we planned to attend a World Cup game in the coming days, he took a short detour to show us Eden Park and point out which gate we would be entering. Plus, when I started feeling motion sick, he let me sit up front. We can't recommend this tour, and Matt, highly enough.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Hi Beverly, thank you so much for such a great review and for jumping aboard! We have passed on your glowing review of Matt to him - we are so glad you enjoyed the tour with him as your guide. We think he is pretty awesome too! I know the breweries were stoked to host you so that's great that you had a good time with each of their unique offerings. Enjoy the rest of the FIFA World Cup here and in OZ and safe travels! Cheers, Katy 'Brewbus HQ.

Fun Afternoon

Marcia_A, Aug 2023

This tour was so much fun. It was an all girls tour except for our guide Matt. Met some great ladies, learned about craft beer brewing. With FIFI here learned about soccer. It was a great afternoon. Matt is a great guide.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Hi Marcia, so glad you had a fun afternoon! Thanks so much for jumping aboard and for the great review too. Matt had a great time with this 'all girls' tour and we are stoked you did too and got to experience and learn about our local beer scene. Travel safe! Cheers, Katy 'Brewbus HQ'

Big brew bus day out

Greg_R, Jun 2023

All three breweries were really nice to see. Matt was a great host. I am now keen to go back and try the burgers at Urbanaut. I will also be taking friends and family to good George.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Thanks so much Greg for the awesome review! We are so glad you had a good time and Matt really enjoyed the tour with the group! I'm sure the team at Urbanaut would love to see you back there for a delicious Burgernaut! Thanks heaps for jumping aboard! Cheers, Katy 'Brewbus HQ'

Cruisey, comfortable and filled with Beer!

Lisa_P, Aug 2022

Had a fantastic tour on Brewbus with our guide Jeremy. He was extremely knowledgeable on both the history of Auckland and also on beer itself. Had a great rapport with the staff from each establishment which made it very comfortable as if hanging out with friends. Lunch was more than we bargained for and there was a mountain of awesome different dishes we couldn't possibly finish but kept us well stocked for all the tastings to come. Each place had a different funky feel to it which really rounded the afternoon out and made every stop a new experience. Worth every penny and more.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Hi Lisa, what an amazing review! Thank you so much we really appreciate it and are so stoked you guys had such a great experience with us. Jeremy really enjoyed the tour with the group! Thanks so much. Cheers, Katy, Brewbus HQ.
