5.00Spending the day with Suzee from Utours was a wonderful experience. Would highly recommend using this owner/operator company. She created an itinerary based on what interested us rather than a cookie cutter one size fits all tour. She reached out once booking was placed to be available to craft our day as we wanted. Reached out again close to tour date to check in, make any adjustments. Emailed us day before with detailed information for cruise port pick up texted the day before so we would have her number in phone in case we needed to reach her morning of. Pick up very smooth. Took us to local places, gorgeous scenic drive with stops great fish and chips lunch with beach view. Very engaging personable entertaining guide. Very comfortable vehicle that was very clean. Would def spend another day with Suzee next time we find ourselves in New Zealand

5.00In Wellington we saw the sights with Suzee of uTours Wellington. We knew in advance that we would get special treatment because Suzee called the USA twice to confirm exactly how she could customize the tour to our precise interests. And she did just that, in a warm, welcoming, and caring way. It was a great day that included the many interesting sights in and around lovely Wellington. Thank you, Suzee! -Roz and Judy
The Tour Guide Suzee made the day . . . and she's one of the two owners.

5.00Without a doubt, the Tour Guide made the day (though I may have helped) by interacting with her . . . but then again we're from NYC and are not bashful. Informative, factual and a great new van to sit in for the day! She was a hoot and so was Wellington!
