A tour with Gregor is like no other. Emerging business award finalist, Tales From Darkest Dunedin and Gregor Campbell, respected historian and expert story teller has been uncovering forgotten events and people in Dunedin's history. He has been featured in newspapers for his finds and recently on the cover of New Zealand Heritage Magazine for his cemetery tours. Gregor is particularly interested in colonial history, the exchanges between Māori Kāi Tahu, the Scottish and the everyday people that came to make a life here, for better or for worse. And now he's your tour guide!
Gregor's stories of murder, shipwrecks, discovery, heroes and villains are exclusive to Tales From Darkest Dunedin and weave together to give a greater picture of our city and the lives that brought it to where it is today.

5.00My guide had stories to tell. Everywhere we went was a relevant spot in the past and present history of Dunedin. He was able to answer all of my questions and surprised me with his knowledge of the buildings; families and local adventurers. Lunch was in a cafe with a wonderful view and a great Caesar salad. Lanark Castle was a highlight. I highly recommend this tour.
Excellent tour wit a knowledgeable local
