5.00Malcolm was a wonderful guide, filling us in on what we were seeing from his perspective as a local. The description of the tour was accurate. We had enough time at the castle to have some Coffee and treats, hear the bagpipers and have lunch, as well as tour the inside and outside of the castle. Would highly recommend this tour.
Fabulous

4.00Great tour, Russ is a fantastic tour guide with extensive knowledge of the Dunedin area. We visited a lot of places with plenty of stops and time take photos. We really enjoyed the tour but felt it was a bit too long for us (over 6 hours) but we highly recommend this tour.
