Things to do in Wellington

highly recommend tour! very insightful and great behind the scenes into the film productions. enjoyed it thoroughly even though I didn’t watch the major productions like LOTR.

Visiting Te Papa Tongarewa was absolutely the highlight of our time in Wellington. I honestly cannot recommend it enough! The Gallipoli: The Scale of Our War exhibition left us completely speechless. The giant sculptures created by Weta Workshop are hauntingly realistic, bringing the history to life in a way that is both heartbreaking and beautiful. It was an emotional experience that we won’t forget. Beyond the war history, the nature and art exhibitions were fantastic. My whole family loved exploring the natural history sections—seeing the unique native wildlife and the diverse landscapes gave us such a vivid picture of the country. We also gained a profound appreciation for local culture and Aotearoa’s history through the stunning Māori artifacts and storytelling on display. It wasn’t just educational; it was genuinely fun for all of us. We walked away feeling like we truly understand this beautiful country better.

We are thrilled! Top-notch! 10 out of 10! Our guide Mark is a real elf! And an incredibly cool guy. The seals are adorable.

This was an amazing experience, a small tour of eight people and a great guide and driver. The visit of all the locations for the shootings of the Lord of the Rings movies was fantastic, close and personal. The Weta workshop is a wonderful place, full of mysteries and amazing things to see (an touch!), with a nice staff. The lunch experience, a buffet at the Aston Norwood café in a pretty venue was the cherry on the top of the cake. I completely recommend this tour with WTG!

Michael who is our guide for the day delivered great service, great knowledge of Wellington, enterained us throughout the trip and the tour was with great ease. Hightly recommended the tour when you visit Welilngton.

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

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.
