4.00Our driver described this as a "whistle stop" tour and that's an accurate description. We stopped at several Wellington highlights and got a good overview of the city. Our driver, Gary, was extremely informative, friendly, and helpful - particularly regarding Maori history and lore. We saw several places in the city, as well as making stops along the south coast. Be warned, on this tour you will be getting in and out of a van several times. My family was in the very rear of the van and by the end of the tour we felt as though we had folded and unfolded ourselves into the back seat plenty. I would recommend this for to others.

5.00This was a great view of Wellington. We drove all along the coast and to 2 peaks overlooking the city. I feel the length of time spent was right- I did not feel rushed at any stop. The lunch that was included was generous and very good. We had a small group of less than 15 people. Our guide was very knowledgeable.
Beautiful scenery and...
