5.00We had an amazing day! We toured all around the city, saw it from every point of view. Our tour guide (John) was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He was able to tell stories from someone who was born and raised in the city and share the experience of a changing and growing city. How the day went for us: there were 4 of us and we were picked up at the port. We started the day at the museum. John was very flexible, depending on what we wanted to do. He would have allowed for us to go through the exhibition at the museum (it is a cost) but we decided not to since it would take too much time and our time was limited to get back to the ship. We drove around the city where every block he would point out an interesting fact (a building was moved entirely or a building was condemned due to an earthquake or they moved the beach line etc). We went to our first view point atop of a hillside. We made our way around the city visiting beaches and view points. Visited a pie shop (as an American, I asked if it was for dessert, and it is not). We bought lunch there and it was delicious. We went to a beach/nature preserve to eat. Finished the day riding a cable car up to more incredible views. Then went to see the government buildings. The entire day was a wonderful experience. If you're looking to truly learn about a city and see it from every possible point of view, I would highly recommend you book this excursion.
Don’t overlook this amazing experience A+ fabulous

5.00Aaron gave us a comprehensive & fun tour of Wellington. With the limited time we had in Wellington, this was a great way to get a feel of the city. Aaron spiced up the tour with personal accounts of the neighborhoods & he was a real history buff.
