Hear From Our Guests

John P.

This was the second time doing this tour, and it was everything I remembered and more! Our guide, Ross, was really knowledgeable and friendly, and we learned so much about native NZ wildlife and agriculture! Pick up and drop off were both easy and on-time! Picturesque views, the opportunity to see seals, and learn a bunch along the way. Definitely do this tour to experience Wellington beyond the typical tourist spots!
