Great day out in Dunedin
Michelle B,Jun 7, 2024
5.0Went on this tour back in February and it was such a great day. James was a wonderful guide, making sure the day was informative and fun. We were on a small mini bus and whilst sometimes this situations can be awkward, James made sure everyone was included without the awkwardness. Highlights for me were the amazing lookout we stopped at as we headed up to Lanarch Castle, seeing the amazing architecture at the university and train station and of course Lanarch Castle. We were picked up on time at the cruise terminal and returned to the terminal with plenty of time to spare. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is stopping in Dunedin on their cruise.
That street is steep!

4.0Just a great way to see Dunedin. I would’ve like a bit less time at the castle and the city. Otherwise a great day. Tour guides and driver were excellent.

5.0We had a great guide named James, who shared his knowledge with us, took the time to remember our names, stopped at amazing lookout spots and we had plenty of time seeing the sights. We would highly recommend James and this tour.
