All the sights were beautiful and not repetitive. Our tour guide was informative, knowledgable and went over and beyond expectation. Thank you Therese.

Asta was a wonderful tour guide. Personable, knowledgeable, and incredibly kind. We were the only ones on our tour, so she took us through some inlets on the peninsula. We had a fabulous time!

We had an amazing day with our driver & guide Teresa. She stopped briefly at several viewpoints so we could take photos, in addition to those stops written in the itinerary. We saw all the significant sites in Dunedin & the Otago peninsula. The Albatross centre was amazing, with great views from the hide. Teresa also shared her extensive knowledge of the area with us.

Our tour guide was great, and it was a privilege to tour the beautiful Dunedin region. However the transport van was a rental, and terrible. Smelled deeply of smoke the whole day... Smallish windows blocked somewhat by mechanisms, and the audio system was poor. Had to crane my neck to see the sights and was sickened by the permeated cigarette smell. Provider should do better! Noticed that another tour group of theirs had a perfectly lovely touring van, but not our group. Also box lunches should be provided rather than stops at supermarket. And one lady in our group wanted to stop at the pharmacy so we got pretty delayed because of "stops" and we missed the beginning of our paid in advance albatross center tour. That was unfortunate for us. Guests should find their own way to the pharmacy, which is right in Port Chalmers. So there are some improvements that should be made by this tour provider. I thank you for a good guide and safe journey around Dunedin!

There was a miscommunication with the company about our start time but they made it work for us. We did a tour of the city with the university and train station stops. The trip up to the albatross rookery was the highlight of my trip to NZ. I watch this rookery on a webcam with Cornell University so it was very exciting for me to see it in person. 45 nests were there and many had new chicks in them. The southern royal albatross is really something to see.
