Reviews
I had a great guide, Gary! He was very knowledgeable, friendly and punctual. He was well-versed in the history and local lore of all the different places we visited. Super lucky to do the tour with a small group as well so it felt like a private tour. I highly recommend this tour to get a good idea of what Wellington is about especially if you are spending only a limited amount of time in Wellington.
We enjoyed the tour very much. Gary our guide was very accommodating and informative. We highly recommend this tour package especially if you’re a first timer in Wellington.
Now I understand why Anthena said Wellington is so incredible & close to the heart!!! I feel it! Thanks Anthena, you make us so happy follow this trip. We have so many beautifuls pictures and we really enjoy it. You are wow and I will rate you millions stars!!!
Gary was our guide today, and he was very friendly to us. We visited many places throughout the day. Today, there was quite a bit of storm, so we experienced the beautiful views of New Zealand, especially in Wellington. We went to many places and were very happy. I highly recommend booking this tour.
overall a good experience and attractive scenery. it's overwhelming that in half a day we covered a lot of scenic area. But mind that the tour does not detailed tour of each attraction sits like cable car museum, weta cave workshop or Parliament guided tour. This is clearly stated. Included lunch is a good moderate but popular restaurant. Non alcoholic drink is included. I recommend this English-speaking tour group to Chinese people who know how to speak English. The tour guide is very understanding and friendly to foreign non-European people, and the time is arranged accordingly. There is a plan, and the tour already includes transfers, tour guide fees and attractions (not including special attraction fees and tram). For his careful care, I also gave him a tip as an encouragement. The service provider is Zoo zoo tour and you can always book conveniently by Klook
The guide introduced so many backgrounds and details about New Zealand history including Wellington. The sightseeing locations were awesome, and I had more clear understanding for this country.
