Mike, our tour guide, provided great customer service and had excellent communication with his customers. The location was perfect for a "kaiaki" brunch, and the tour was excellent, filled with his great humor, stories, and most of all, his knowledgeable storytelling about Wellington. Definitely recommended.

We chose a hotel near the pier and quite close to the city center in order to take this cruise. The cruise staff was very good and provided us with a lot of convenience, from exchanging paper tickets to checking luggage to having a shuttle bus from the Picton Pier to the Picton train station after disembarking from the cruise, which was very convenient. We saw many interesting fish in the sea throughout the trip. The food on board was also good. My companion bought lunch and said it was delicious and more cost-effective than restaurants in the city. This was a pleasant ferry experience across the Marlborough Sounds.

Got a whole new appreciation for the effort the folks at weta put into their art work. Our guide was also a veteran in the art and worked on multiple films. You can sense the passion in what he does from just how he talks about the movies, his works, weta in general. There were like 2-3 babies in my group who started to make some noise along the way but weren't too much a distraction.

Value for money if you select from their menu of activities, which covers a lot.

Great experience! After the tour, I stayed two more hours visiting the museum. It's an incredible place with so much information. If you come to Wellington, it has to be on your list.
