Sarah was very friendly and had a lot of local knowledge. It was a good highlights tour and a few good stops that weren’t too short or too long. Especially enjoyed the cable car ride.

This tour was a great overview of the city. We went to places we would’ve never found on our own. Robbie was a great host and knowledgeable about the area.

What a great and relaxed way to see and learn about Wellington and environs. This is a very good product and our guide (Grant) was the perfect host for such a tour. His narrative and knowledge was excellent and he provided just the right amount of information, soliciting questions all along the way. We would highly recommend this tour...great value.
