Terrific tour and just the right length. Our guide was excellent and had answers to every question we threw at him. Timing of the spots worked out very well for photos and information.

The driver was very knowledgeable and took us to places that the bigger buses could not get to. Excellent 2 hours spent.

This was an awesome way to see much of Wellington in a short time with time left over if you wanted to do more Alan was our tour guide and was extremely nice and informative. We didn’t feel rushed anywhere and as it was a small group we weren’t doing the usual “wait” for stragglers as you generally have in the larger tours.

The tour had a good set of experiences, even if each of the individual stops was a bit brief, given the total length was only 3 hours.
