Fantastic day in Dunedin - Had an awesome day with Alan as our guide. I wanted to visit Larnarch Castle while we were in Dunedin so my husband signed us up with Iconic Tours. We ended up having a private tour and a great day! Alan met us at the beautiful train station and shared its history before showing us around some of the local historical spots including the world’s steepest road. Following that we travelled to the castle- beautiful scenery enroute despite overcast skies and occasional showers. We had a delicious lunch at the castle (leek & potato soup w/bread) - just right for a cool, damp day. Following lunch, Alan took us on a tour of the castle and then the gardens- his depth of knowledge of the history of the castle and family is unbelievable! Following the castle tour we hopped back into the car and headed back to the city. We enjoyed seeing the Olveston mansion and touring the beautiful grounds before being dropped back at our home away from home.

Would definitely recommend this tour - We had such a great day in Dunedin. Larnach Castle is such a beautiful place and the gardens are stunning. Ann was a great tour guide, very friendly with so much knowledge. Baldwin street was another highlight for us. The view from the top makes the climb up well worth it. We had a great day and would definitely recommend this tour!!

The pickup from the... - The pickup from the cruise port was so convenient and the van was very nice and roomy. The driver was local and she knew so much about the area. We stopped at lots of places and saw more than I expected. The tour of the castle was great and we learned lots and had plenty of time. Afterwards we had time to walk around the grounds and castle on our own. The former ballroom was converted into a nice place to purchase refreshments.

Good tour, but lunch @2:30 is not good - Tour guide was late picking us up at the Cruise terminal, and that was her first stop. Then late arriving at the castle and mysteriously decided since we were late, we should do tour of castle before eating lunch, causing lunch to be at 2:30pm. She led the tour through the castle and gave lots of information. Some information on drive
