Gorgeous insight into Dunedin's rich history - Thank you to Johnathan for a really insightful and enjoyable whistle stop of Dunedin. We go to see and learn so much in a short tour which never felt rushed. The light lunch was perfect looking over the beach watching surfers and spotting wildlife. Honestly, great afternoon. If you're in Dunedin, not to be missed!

This is the tour to take! - I highly recommend this tour! My guide was so knowledgeable and very enthusiastic about showing his historic city and beautiful country. The tour was very comprehensive, driving around Dunedin and into the suburbs and countryside. An amazing snack style lunch with fresh fruit and NZ cheeses was served! This is the tour to take!

Jono was fabulous - We went on an In-Depth Blue Penguins tour with Jono the night before. Love it! We later found out Jono also run this Dunedin city sights tour. He is very knowledgeable and we learnt a heap about Dunedin's wildlife and its history, both Māori and European. And the provided lunch was a fantastic touch. Vehicle was spacious and clean inside and out. Fully recommend.
