5.00Our driver and guide Brian was tremendous. First and foremost he was a very safety conscience driver. He was very knowledgeable of the sights we visuals added delightful commentary that kept all the passengers entertained. If I could give 10 stsrs, I would. Viator is exceptional. Their tours are priced reasonably and very enjoyable. We always use them when we travel abroad.

Rude tour guide
Michaelle D,,Feb 7, 2026
- Review from Viator
2.00There were several of your vans at the pick up site. Our tour guide told us to go to the van and get in. A few minutes later a tour guide named Merv stuck his head in the door and yelled “ what are you doing in my van?” We told him what your we were on and were rudely informed we were in the wrong van. When my husband called him out for being rude he replied “ I’m not rude I’m a New Zealander “. He then tried to be overly nice but the damage was done. If we hadn’t paid so much for the tour I would have walked back to the ship. So much for “ hospitality “ service!!! Later on our tour John kept trying to talk everyone into being dropped off downtown and not going back to the ship. We had no desire to walk around downtown and arrange our own transportation to the ship. We finally had to insist that we be taken back to the ship Overall it could have been a much better experience than what it was
A fantastic, comprehensive tour

5.00We got a comprehensive tour of Wellington. We stopped at Mount Victoria, the peninsula, Weta Cave, Lady Norwood Rose Gardens, Old St. Paul’s, the Parliament buildings, and we rode the Cable Car. We also drove along the scenic Oriental Bay. Our guide, Wayne, was personable, on time, and accommodating.
