4.00Very informative guide/driver. We were treated to many wonderful sites and would recommend this tour to none New Zealanders. It might have been better in a mini bus as most of us were 60 plus and getting in and out the car was more challenging.

5.00They took us around the entire harbor seeing the city all the way around the harbor and giving us a great view of the ship and the terrain and the city from all different directions. The van was a 10 seater And there were 11 people because two little children went with us. Fairly compact/ tight seating
The View from Wind Turbine is Amazing
