5.00Great way to see the entire city and outskirts around the harbor. Picked us up right at the cruise terminal and made a number of short stops on all the city highlights, including a beach on the east side of the island. Really covered a lot but never felt shorted or rusged.
I’d do it again

5.00Wonder tour. We saw so many Dunedin highlights on our tour. There were only 9 of us so we really enjoyed the individual attention from our guide Malcolm. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and professional.
Great small group tour!

5.00Great tour with plenty of time to explore and take pictures. Our driver/guide was very informative and helpful. The four of us had a great time from beginning to end
Best use of timing of any tour operator ever. He knows exactly how to time everything. He's a total professional.

5.00Russ is the best ever! His tours are second to NONE. He is passionate, wonderful, friendly, interesting, knowledgeable and totally amazing (and those are his WORST flaws...lol). You will love him and his tours always. He is the most generous tour operator out there. He gives you WAY MORE than you ask for.
Nice Tour
