    A short but very informative tour that gives you a great overview to all that Wellington has to offer. Great stops along the way to stretch your legs & take photos. From some of the tallest peaks to the most southern rockiest shores of Wellington. Our tour guide was full of local & historical information.

  • Fun day of discovery

    Wellington is a wonderful city, and with the limited time and restrictions I had, I enjoyed experiencing some highlights throught this tour. I travelled with my 2month old daughter, making it hard to do things on my own, but this tour was perfect: they provided an infant seat for her, offered to help at every occasion, and one of the guides (so sorry, I don't remember her name, but she was lovely) even stayed back in the bus a few times to watch my sleeping baby so I could get out and explore without having to wake her at every stop. This made such a big difference, and we had a wonderful day! The other guide Marc was an amazing host, very funny, knowledgeable and provided so many insights about the city. Bonus point I can now tell people I met someone that was in the LOTR movies! Very cool! After coming back home my partner and I re-watched the movies and I pointed out where he was!

    We were offered a ride from the airport to the starting point by Chewy, and he was fantastically helpful and welcoming. We were blown away by thr hospitality. 10 stars to Chewy! The tour itself was a great overview of the city and we saw so much in a short period of time. Our two main issues were, first, the bus seats sit so high and are so close together that we could not see out the front or the other side of the bus. The only thing you could see was directly out your side window, which means you missed half of the views. It was cramped and uncomfortable. Second, the guide. At one stop he gave us a 10 minute profanity-laced diatribe on politics. We felt it was super inappropriate and brought down the whole vibe.

  • Great way to touch highlights of greater Wellington

    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.
