What To Expect

The Octagon

Starting the tour here, learn about the amazing buildings that survive in the center of town. It survives by good luck rather than good planning.

Admission Not Applicable

The Dunedin Railway Station is the second most photographed building in the southern hemisphere, second to the Sydney Opera House. We go inside the foyer of the station with its Royal Doulton tiled walls and mosaic floor made with approximately half a million pieces. She's currently under works so covered with scaffolding, however they've kindly printed a picture of the building on the outside!

Our guide didn’t tell us his name, didn’t ask us our names and spent the whole tour talking about himself. He spent five minutes at the train station telling us about his friend who worked there - absolutely nothing to do with the tour! Guide had no people skills, was not interested in his audience and could not put his knowledge forward in an interesting way. He needs to learn how to interact with people. Would not recommend at all.

Our guide Lolene was knowledgeable and passionate about her city. We had a good time learning about the history of Dunedin including some of its most important founders. Loved all the old buildings.
