We were the only 2 booked on the tour but were made to feel so welcome by our friendly guide Natalie. She was a fountain of information and told some delightful stories and anecdotes and suggestions of where to shop and eat. The tour gave a lovely overview of the city including the trip up the cable car. We thoroughly enjoyed our " private" tour. We were also dropped right by our hotel. An afternoon well spent.
Thanks Margaret! This is the quieter time of the year so it sometimes happens that you get a private experience, but even when we're fully booked our guides offer the same level of enthusiasm and passion for their home town. Wellington has so much to see and we love to show as much as we can in the time we have.
The guide was so kind, and I had a great time. There was plenty of time at each part of the course, and I think it will remain a wonderful memory.
What a great afternoon. Very informative and enjoyable. We give HAMISH 10 out of 10.
Had a great experience with the city tour! The guide was very informative and very friendly. Despite the wet weather they still made sure we did not miss out anything.
