Very organized, with great follow up on arrangements. They had a plan for the highlights and were flexible with our specific requests. Very friendly, very knowledgeable on history and local information. The St Paul's church stop was fascinating and not on the typical tour list so great job.

My wife and I had a truly wonderful tour of Wellington with Jo from uTours. After picking us up at our hotel, our first stop was along the waterfront where we decided on exactly what we wanted to see. As we planned on doing the cable car and several museums the next day we spent our time traveling to some of the magnificent vistas in and around the city, visited some of the government sites, and sampled some of terrific coffee Wellington has to offer. Jo was a wonderful host and proved to be very knowledgeable about the city and its history. I should also add that our vehicle was extremely comfortable. If I could give six stars I would, and I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Wellington.

I had the best time touring the city and beaches with Suzee, owner of uTours. She tailored made our half day tour to our ideas and in-putted a few of her own. She was knowledgeable, professional and fun to be with. She fielded all of our questions so we really got a great feel for the town of Wellington and the outskirts of the city, as well. The mixture of the old architecture and new buildings was much appreciated by our group of four. It was quite windy the day we toured and we discovered Wellington is often called"Windy Wellington". We were literally blown away by Suzee and lovely "Windy Wellington". I highly suggest that you use uTours as Suzee will not disappoint! Her van was super clean and very comfortable, too.
