4.00What I will remember is the option of going down in the cable car was better than going up when we saw the line down the bottom. We were so disappointed we missed out on going up to Victoria Lookout that would have been a highlight. Apparently there was a car race on that the Bus driver hadn't been informed about. The right tour guide can make or sadden your expreriece we had a great bus driver Peter , I think he should have been our tour guide as well. Overall got to see on this bus trip more than walking as Wellington is a big City
A must do

5.00This tour was fantastic from start to finish. Our driver and guide Dennis was passionate about his city and NZ and went over and above to take us to all the Wellington highlights. The tour should only have been 3.5 hours but was actually 5 plus hours as Dennis wanted to ensure we saw all Wellington had to offer.

4.00Enjoyed the tour. Had several stops to get out and take pictures. Bryan was informative. Beautiful city, lived the cable car and views from Mount Victoria. Loved that there was an option to stay in the city, but I decided to go back to the port.
Brilliant
