Great host! Explored the local sights and great commentary of all relevance…felt we had a really good view of what Wellington was and is now.

Our guide, Stan was a wealth of information. We stopped at many scenic places around Wellington. He was very informative and very easy to be around. It was such a clear day we could see the South Island which was a thrill as it was 200 klms away. Pick up and drop off was a breeze. Very enjoyable tour. Thanks again.

Unfortunately, it poured rain the entire trip, but we were still able to see everything except what we were told would have been beautiful views. Our guide was fabulous and understood our mobility needs.

I booked this excursion during a cruise stop in Wellington for 13 people. Merv was our driver and guide. First, Merv was fabulous! Thank you for going above and beyond. We hade a great time and were able to see most of the important things in Wellington. They were on time, good coordination, and dropping us off in time to return. Can highly recommend!

Pick up from the cruise terminal was a breeze. Our driver Richard was easy to deal with, even putting up with 5 little ones under 7. Thanks Richard for being professional and friendly when it quite easily could have gone the other way.

An easy way to get an overall introduction to the region around Wellington. A basic tour. Four hours without a coffee break was a health challenge for some.

Our driver, Merv, was absolutely brilliant!!! His knowledge of Wellington was outstanding. His narrative brought to life the history of Wellington. His professional and courteous manner was appreciated by all on the tour, especially those with disabilities. Can’t rate it high enough ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
