A great day in Dunedin - We had a fabulous day of touring Dunedin. Our guide, Asta, was very knowledgeable of the area and showed us all of the sites including the Albatross rookery and OPERA penguin conservation center. Of course, we saw all of the famous sites like the botanical garden, the railroad station and the steepest street in the world. Asta organized our tour in a very efficient manner that enabled us to see everything in a short period of time. Her van was very comfortable and equipped with a speaker system that enabled everyone to hear her informative commentary. To top it off, she is very charming. We could not have asked for a better one day visit to Dunedin.

Lovely tour around... - Lovely tour around Dunedin and the Otago Peninsula. Packed in an overview of the city highlights, had lunch/coffee at a local cafe, and spent the afternoon driving out to the peninsula. Enjoyed a quick stop at the railway station, walked up the steepest street in the world, enjoyed a stroll through the botanic gardens, visited the u I resort, and drove through the historic cemetery.Stunning scenery and lots of wildlife (birds) along the way. Asta, our guide was pleasant and knowledgeable.

Enjoyable day tour. - Asta was a friendly and knowledgeable guide who provided our small family group of 6 with a great schedule for our day tour around Dunedin and the peninsula. She ensured we were back well before our cruise boarding time I would recommend this tour to others.

A great 👍 trip to New Zealand - Found rare wildlife in Dunedin and thrilled to see them live. Wow! They are calm and easy to watch. Travel guides explained geography, geology and ecosystems of these species. Lovely trip to see them. Weather and nature also helped me to explore these wonderful opportunities. A great trip to New Zealand 😁👍 My tour operator took care of everything on transportation, foods and commentary. It was enjoyable to see and enjoy cultures, history and heritage, nature all in one go. Fantastic New Zealand

Great private tour, payment issue from cruise ship - We are a group from USA and Taiwan that traveled via cruise to Dunedin. We arranged a private tour via emails with Asta while we were on the ship. She was very prompt in answering and working with us to make the excursion possible. There was some payment challenges which almost ruined the tour and I will get to that later. Keith was our guide and he was absolutely wonderful and a delight to be with. With his knowledge, time management and flexibility, we hit pretty much all major city highlights and points of interests including castle garden & its lunch cafe during a 5 hours span. Concerning payment, I would recommend Fantail Tours to have an alternate payment method in addition to just the “invoice page website”, because for two days we couldn’t figure out why the payment website shows as blank on mobile phones, iPad and laptops with our cruise ship Internet package. We almost cancelled the tour. Eventually we had to upgrade to premium Internet package to make the payment page showed up correctly. While ship was cruising, we can’t make voice calls and email was insecure to give credit card info. So this is one area for improvement.

Not so clean vehicles used - Tour guy was fine and experienced, but the vehicle - van was old, dirty and with strong cigarette smoke smell. We (5) paid non refundable of $800+ for the day tour, don’t feel we’re deserved to sit in such dirty, smelly van all day… We have two more tours booked with Viator in New Zealand after this one. Really hope the experience can be better from now on…
