Would do this again! - Lucy was great! She was super informative and I was impressed with her ability to do the tour in two languages! This was a semi-private tour in a small minivan, and we were able to get into places where the big busses couldn't go, and didn't have to wait for a ton of people at each meeting point. I would definitely do a tour with her again!

A perfect Dunedin and Otago Peninsula Overview - A great intro to Dunedin and the Otago Peninsula combining historical sites, stunning scenery, and some wildlife. Lucy, our guide, was terrific! She shared her knowledge of the area and went above and beyond to take us to a stunning beach not originally planned for. Simply a wonderful first day in Dunedin!

Beautiful views without being rushed. - We covered a lot if ground without ever feeling rushed at any stop. Beautiful views, and the advantage of a small group (6 people, 3 couples)

Great experience in Dunedin! - I was so glad I picked this private tour instead of one of the cruise ship's excursions! Lucy was a great tour guide who took us to all the great places in the area and taught us a lot along the way. She clearly wanted to make sure we had a wonderful experience. She even returned us to the cruise ship later than expected so we could spend extra time at some of the locations (still in plenty of time for departure). She was patient, kind, and helpful. And the things we got to see were amazing!
