4.00Good choice of points of interest and certainly encouraged us to look at a few more out of the way attractions. Some of the descriptions were a bit wordy for me e.g asking you to imagine etc. Good value and overall good.

5.00Never done a self guided walking before and really enjoyed it. Gave us flexibility to linger where we wanted and to stop for refreshments. Gave us a great insight into Wellington. Way to use and reasonably priced.

3.00The tour narration was average. A lot of it was simply describing what you were looking at in front of you. It had very few backstories or interesting tales. Also, two of the things it talked about are not even there anymore, so it was out of date.
