5.00This was a relaxing and informative experience and the tour guide was so full of local knowledge, knowledge that we would not have been aware of had we travelled on our own. We would highly recommend this tour to friends and family.

5.00Robbie was a great tour guide. We had a small group and his relaxed but engaging approach to the tour was great. He shared many folk stories regarding the land, its people which I found endearing and important to pass along. We had a number of stops and took some short walks and he even took some pictures of the group. I would definitely recommend this tour as a day one ‘Wellington highlights’ opportunity!
I want to sincerely thank...

5.00I want to sincerely thank the bus company for having such an outstanding employee like Natalie. She was absolutely wonderful to me and went above and beyond to help me when I needed it most. Natalie was kind, patient, and genuinely caring—her professionalism and warm personality turned what could have been a stressful situation into a pleasant experience. It’s rare to meet someone who treats customers with such compassion, and I truly appreciate everything she did. Natalie is a credit to your company, and I am very grateful for her support.
Awesome Tour!

5.00They were so helpful to me. I was the only one on this tour and they helped me when my flight had been canceled and when I ended up in CBD instead of the usual pickup stop. Natalie was a knowledgeable and caring guide. I would love to do it again.
