  There was a lot of confusion around this tour. The tour operator was a little late getting there and no one at the port knew then. The actual tour was good but not much information was given to us from our tour guide. His bus was different from the tour company. His bus was very old and dirty. His speaker system did not work so you could not hear him. The tour included lunch and entry into the castle but the guide said he did not have information about either of those items. We did get lunch and into the castle but the guide hade to make calls.

  Dunedin & Larnach Castle Day Trip – A Truly Memorable Experience What an incredible day exploring Dunedin and the majestic Larnach Castle! From start to finish, the trip was seamless: • Exceptional Guide Care: Our guide was a true gentleman—always on hand to help me on and off the minibus and patiently waiting (alongside a kind American couple) as I navigated the world’s steepest street at my own pace. Even with a 30-minute delay on the return journey, the team’s support never wavered. • Stunning Sights: Dunedin’s historic architecture and sweeping coastal panoramas took my breath away, and Larnach Castle’s ornate gardens and rich backstory were every bit as enchanting as I’d hoped. • Delicious Local Lunch: I opted for the classic fish & chips—crispy, fresh, and perfectly paired with lemon. I heard the chowder was more of a starter than a full meal, but my lunch left me both satisfied and energized for the afternoon’s adventures. All in all, I can’t recommend this day trip highly enough for anyone visiting Dunedin. From attentive hospitality to awe-inspiring views, it’s the perfect way to experience the best of the region in just one day!

• Better than expected for our first none CruiseLine tour booking.

  This was our first experience booking a tour not provided by the Cruise Line. Great experience. Everything worked out as indicated and the local operator did a fantastic job of introducing us to our first on land experience of New Zealand. Lots to see on the tour and about perfect timing for all the off-coach activities.

• Great tour

  This tour was about 6 hours. We made many stops and saw a lot of the area. Our tour guide Jason was excellent. Would recommend this tour.

  The iconic and historic railroad station was excellent, Lark Castle was a disappointment. A very nice large house with very old furnishings. Not really a castle except in architecture only.

  The botanical gardens, Larnach Castle, and beach stop were so nice. Could not have enjoyed better weather.

  Nice overview of Dunedin and Ortega. You see the major highlights of each place. Lanarch Castle is worth the visit for the beautiful views alone.
