Wellington small group tour - Nathan was a fantastic tour guide and the city and Coast line tour was terrific. The tour takes you through the city, around the coastline and a ride on the cable car.

Good overview of Wellington - The trip was informative and the guide was good. Got to see a number of interesting places. Nothing more to write but need to get to 100 characters as required by Tripadvisor.

One of the tour guides... - One of the tour guides was very rude to the Chinese tourists. He was arrogant and attempted to act as if he was superior in front of all the passengers to the Chinese tourists. However, his conduct led the entire group to perceive him as lacking in both education and professionalism.
