The Perfect Way to Explore Wellington - Had a fantastic day exploring with Tom! The tour was incredibly enjoyable, well-paced, and full of interesting stories and local knowledge. Tom made everything feel easy and fun, and it was clear how much he cares about giving a great experience. I really loved it and would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Wellington!

Fantastic day in Wellington - A fantastic way to spend the day in Wellington! We learned so much, saw so much and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Our guide, Tom Collier, was quite knowledgeable and interspersed anecdotes that kept things light and lively. We traversed the city and by the end of the tour felt like we had really seen Wellington.

FANTASTIC LOTR tour with Dave! - Wonderful LOTR tour around Wellington! My son and I had a great time with Dave. He took us to all the filming locations and more! He also taught us about New Zealand’s rich history and culture. A great lunch was included along with all the pics in a drop box at the end of the tour. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day!

An Awesome City Tour by an Awesome Guide. - Our guide Dave met us promptly at the agreed time and it was the beginning of an awesome day together. He listened to what we wanted to see, and asked what we had seen already, and then took us on an awesome tour of Wellington and surrounding areas. We really appreciated getting to see outside of the Central Business District and the fact that he took pictures that he promptly sent to us after the tour. Dave has a wealth of local knowledge and was super easy to spend time with. It felt more like a friend showing you his city and a paid tour. Dave also remembered that we needed to buy hats to protect ourselves from the strong sun and neatly fit in a stop at a local store (instead of an overpriced tourist shop) to buy some hats! This tour was the highlight of our visit to Wellington! Thank you Dave for being sucha great guide.

Best tour - We booked this private tour for when we docked in Wellington for the day. I found Tom and Dean excellent, personable and informative. In terms of assistance they helped us with a particular issue and they went above snd beyond. I recommend them as tour guides and it supports a great small business.
