5.00The tour was everything we could have wished for, and more! Merv, our tour guide was friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to make our morning enjoyable. I would thoroughly recommend this tour, particularly if your time in Wellington is limited, or as an introduction to this lovely city.

4.00The tour did exactly what it said on the tin, covering all the stated areas and objectives. However I personally felt a little awkward being cooped up in a mini bus for such lengths. This is obviously not a criticism of the tour guide, Lloyd, who was very knowledgeable and passionate about his city’s history.
Wild ride on narrow roads!
