    Natalie was an incredible guide. Warm, engaging and funny, the time flew by as she kept us informed every minute of our trip. She even sang us a song on the bus, while we waited for two delayed passengers.! This trip was a great way to see the highlights of the city, and if you get Natalie you’ve struck gold.

    Extra day in Wellington due to the severe weather. Decided to do the half day tour - Sarah was our guide & proved to be knowledgeable about the city. It was clear she was local & shared interesting information answering questions & showing the different aspects of the city.

    The entire experience start to finish was seamless and well worth the $ invested. We just wanted to see what Wellington was and to see the sites that everyone should see. I booked the tour one hour before being picked up. Very seamless experience! Highly recommend, you won't regret it. I'm sure all the guides do a good job, our guide Graham did an outstanding job! Thanks, Graham.

    A whistle stop tour of the city, which suited us as we were only in town for 1 day. Great little quirky was the cable car... The tour guide was a great local guy with some great local knowledge (sorry can't remember his name).
