This was such a nice tour of the city of Wellington. Even though the lookout and cable car were not accessible the day I had the tour, other places were visited that still made the tour worthwhile. I was able to visit the cable car the next day when they were able to reopen using the same ticket the tour company provided.
Do It!

It was very informative and interesting. As I was the only person on the tour, I had nice discussions with the guide. Unfortunately the weather did not play along, but I saw everything I had to see. Thank you.

One of the tour guides was very rude to the Chinese tourists. He was arrogant and attempted to act as if he was superior in front of all the passengers to the Chinese tourists. However, his conduct led the entire group to perceive him as lacking in both education and professionalism.
