Helen showed up exactly on time in a beautiful and super clean Tesla. She took us all around the area showing us where locals go and lots of information. Lunch was fun and quirky. She even whisked me the mart for olive oill and chocolate.

Our guide Mark did a wonderful job of showing his city & explaining the history. He took us around in his comfortable Tesla Model Y, and we enjoyed the included lunch at a seaside diner which is very popular with the locals. We would highly recommend this tour.

Traveling a city like Wellington is best done in a personal vehicle. So Mark Waddington’s super clean and comfortable Tesla was a perfect choice. But our day with Mark was about so much more than a nice car. Mark’s friendly and accommodating style made him easy to talk to and ask questions. He offered many insights about the city and spent an above-and-beyond 7 1/2 hours with us. (Our deal was for four to five hours.) Mark drove us around Wellington Harbor with stops at Parliament, atop Mt. Victoria, the public cable car and museum, and Te Papa Tongarewa Museum, where we experienced the chilling World War I Gallipoli campaign exhibit as well as Māori culture and wildlife exhibits. We enjoyed a fun lunch at a pop culture gem called Scorch O Rama at Scorching Bay where menu items poked fun at a certain U.S. president and his public policies. The restaurant featured a wall of classic Marvel comic book covers and Lego Star Wars models that would rival anything in the U.S. when Mark delivered us back to our cruise ship., we felt like we made a new friend. We wish we could give more than five stars to Silver Cloud Tours and Transfers. Mark and Helen deserve it.

Unfortunately we picked a wet and windy day to be in wellington however Helen was brilliant always positive and adapting things to fit with the weather and made sure we had a good time. Helens knowledge and passion for Wellington and New Zealand really made the tour for us and we would not hesitate to recommend this tour.

This was an amazing experience, Helen was such a knowledgeable guide, we learned so much from her and it was a plus that she is so connected to her community, so got us into places that tourists don’t go, we felt like we saw everything you could see in Wellington, even some secret behind the scenes places! Probably our best tour to date.

We were on a cruise with a limited time in port. This was a great over view of the charming city of Wellington along with its beautiful coastline. Mark was a great guide and source of information. We would schedule this tour again if we come back to the area.

My husband and I had a wonderful day exploring Wellington with our tour guide, Helen. She was amazing, very kind, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience enjoyable. The ride was comfortable, and we learned so much about the city’s history while visiting beautiful spots. Our lunch at Scorch-O-Rama was one of the highlights we absolutely loved it. Thank you, Helen, for an unforgettable and well-spent day!

This was a top notch premiere level tour experience. Helen has extensive knowledge of the history and architecture of the area. Along the route she explained many details of the Maori people, various landmarks, and the meanings behind them. We would rate this a first class tour with first class service and hidden away gems steering you away from cruise ship crowds with perfect timing and excellent connections. I would highly recommend this tour especially if you are looking for a private tour.
