Dean was our tour guide. He was so knowledgeable about the area. We were awe struck by some of the harbour sites. We saw out of the way and quirky places.

Good tour for a quick overview of Wellington and to work out where to go. Good balance of stops and travelling

It was an extremely informative tour covering many sites and the relevant history associated with each site. Our tour guide and driver, Wayne, was a fountain of information with a great sense of humour. It was a thoroughly enjoyable tour and offered great value .

What an amazing tour guide/driver Merv was! Passionate about his job and took time to explain everything from history to politics and geography! I could tell he loves what he does! Very professional! The tour was spectacular, enjoyed every minute, every place we visited and loved the delicious steak and cheese pie he treated us! This guide and tour is highly recommended. We appreciated you Merv, you are one of the few that can make tour exciting and interesting ! Thank you so much!

An excellent informative trip with so much packed into the half day. We got to see the highlights of Wellington with time to stop, have a look around and take photos. Our guide John was very knowledgeable and considerate of the needs of group members. The trip and the guide are both highly recommended.

Good value for money. Our tour guide, Brian, was very informative with lots of knowledge about the city and its landmarks. We were allowed plenty of time when visiting the attractions and view points and never felt rushed.

Our most excellent guide Connie, led us on a very informative tour of the city. She covered sports, history, the arts, etc… and readily handled all questions covering everything her passengers were interested in. Excellent value !

Lloyd did a fantastic job in half a day. Showed us everything and gave a lot of information to go along with it. It is great that he picked and dropped me off at the hotel.
