Exploring Dunedin - We enjoyed our experience exploring Dunedin with our own driver James! He was so friendly and knowledgeable of the area. We loved exploring Larnoch Castle and seeing the steepest street, beautiful train station and surrounding areas of Dunedin

Great Dunedin Excursion - Do Not Miss! - Oli (& James) were absolutely amazing. Oil was our primary tour guide, but James met us at the cruise terminal and checked in on us all day. They both made the entire day such a pleasant experience. The whole day was organized and instructions were always clear. We spent the right amount of time at each location. They talked just the right amount (not too little and not too much). The bus was comfortable and they provided water and snacks which were really appreciated. We really felt like we got a great feel for and understanding of Dunedin. Highly recommend this excursion! Great pacing and you can tell they take great pride in ensuring all their guests have a positive and memorable experience.

Great way to experience Dunedin! - James, our guide, gave us a great day in Dunedin. We hit every spot on the itinerary. Highlights were climbing the steepest street in the world and exploring Larnach Castle and the grounds. James even made sure we had a table in the busy castle cafe. A terrific excursion with no worries that we wouldn’t make it back to the ship on time.
