Tour of everything Wellington with great lunch

5.00Time and money well spent on a great tour across a large area which included the coast & beach, with a nice overview of the city, walk through the botanical garden and funicular tram. The included lunch at a café in Miramar neighborhood with excellent local fare and fresh fish was a highlight. Alistar’s insight as a multigenerational local resident and architect enhanced the tour. AC & vent in the van failed periodically, which made it stuffy at times, but I’m sure they will fix that.
Wind and rain didn’t stop us from seeing it all.

4.00We were hammered early with wind and rain. The itinerary was fine, but the high overlooks got the brunt of the wind. Peter, our driver, was pleasant, but wasn’t equipped with a microphone, and the people in the back couldn’t hear him. Our previous Viator tours had microphones. The other comment we have is that most of our group expected to go into an actual cave. They were very confused about just going into Peter Jackson’s workshop gift shop. Finally, the lunch was very nice.
Highly recommend this tour of Wellington, great day out!

Beware of weather conditions

2.00This excursion is very weather dependent. The lower rating given was because much of the potentially great scenery was impacted by rain and fog. The guide and itinerary were fine, but be forewarned if you do not have clear weather you will be disappointed. The positive was the lunch served with the tour was excellent!
