The tour was very interesting, Graham our tour guide was so funny and made the tour a humorous one. The tasting at the end was awesome followed by shopping at the end being served by Jason who is a top bloke!

An excellent guided tour led by a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. The house and gardens are magnificent and would only be improved by the addition of a small cafe in the basement or gardens.

So we’ll kept and stunning home! A must see.

As Dunedin locals we were shocked that we hadn’t visited Olveston earlier! The tour was very informative even though the house speaks for itself. It was a joy to behold this landmark Dunedin beauty!! Will be coming back again for sure.

Great tour of the old brewery at Speights. Very interesting to see the history and old equipment. Enjoyed the tasting afterwards.

Very interesting tour. Great guide and good to taste the different beers. Gift shop also has some good items to buy. Thanks again.

Well run tour. Very informative and interactive. Good size group and good tasting at the end of the tour

Amazing tour to go on.. A Must do Tour when in Dunedin...so enjoyable for all ages...my kids even loved it with their rhubarb and lemonade drink...The tasting room is the best and loved the LPA drink...You will definitely walk out with a big fat smile and a skip in your walk...Big Thanx to Abby she was an amazing tour guide...

The tour was very informative. It was good since we also learned about Otago’s history and how the brewery’s growth are interrelated. The process of making beer was explained thoroughly. The beer tasting was the highlight of the tour!

Ken took us through the brewing process and history of the brewery. He was most informative and willing to answer questions. The tour finished with tasting samples of the Speights range. These were tasted over and over due to their generosity.

Very interesting to do this tour of Speight’s factory. The guide is very interesting, and we can drink some beers after the tour!

Absolutely fantastic tour! Informative, friendly and interesting, I would highly recommend this tour.

I don’t drink beer but did it to humour my husband. We both loved the tour. Ron was a great guide.

Great to hear the history of Speights. The tour guide was fantastic, she certainly knew her stuff. The tasting afterwards was a highlight. We got to pour our own beers.

Brilliant your, interesting history talk and seeing the old machines was great too. The beer sampling was so good with being beer straight from the factory. Allison was a brilliant tour guide. Got to purchase one of there beers which is not available anywhere else which is now my favourite.

Quite a good tour especially if you like beer. The tasting was really nice too!

If a couple of beer samples at the end of your other brewery tour was the highlight then ger set for a whole new level. A lesson in history a vibrant and enlightening guide . This is a fantastic opportunity to see history forged with modern Technology. The beer is great too!!!

Having taken this tour 3 years ago before I moved to NZ I was pleasantly surprised at the changes. We took the 4pm tour (my visiting parents, boyfriend and I) we were started on the tour with a video screen and small intro into Speights. We then took the lift to the 8th floor and began walking our way down, the tour had changes from 3 years ago with production videos showing how the beer is made and you know that every tour guide discusses different content, I was a little sad we didn't step out onto the Speights bridge but my parents who had never done the tour before seemed impressed enough. The tasting room has had a refurb since I last came and now you are able to help yourself to try as little or as much as you like in the allocated time, was great compared to the tour guide last time struggling to keep up with demand. Is still an awesome place to visit and I will reccomend to others when they come to the South Island as well.

Great value for money and beer!

Done this tour once before bought my parents with me for this time very informative history of the brewery with an a refreshing drink session at the conclusion 😎😎😎

I enjoyed this tour.The guide was a bundle of knowledge, regarding the history of this site and the importance of this brewery to the country. There are 225 stairs, most of which are negotiated on the down.A tutorial on how the beer is made, was given as we moved through the tour. Ending in a free sampling of alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages. This tour is quite expensive, but not to be missed.

The tour starts with a bit of history, founding of Dunedin, gold rush at Queenstown, start brewery, etc. At the top floor you will get the process of beer making explained, water, barley & hops, running through the old museum, with copper water stills, old milling machines, copper steep, mash, lauter, destillation & fermentation stills, and cats drinking beer. Then history again, Christchurch earthquake, new investors, tv advertisement. And a quick look at the new installation. Next rush off as the workers did to the taproom where you can get a taste of free ales & lagers until the bell for quick last order.

The tour was friendly,informative and fun. This tour is a must do if you are ever in Dunedin. The History and Future Plans are interesting and it makes you feel like part of the story. After you get to have a decent sized taste of all the great beers that Speight's has to offer in the friendliest bar with the best atmosphere you could imagine, watching old movies and talking to the whistling, happy tour guide was a bonus. I would recommend this tour to anyone!!

Awesome tours and awesome hospitality!

I really enjoyed doing the tasting.Cheese platter was great.would of preferred pickled onions to pickles but hey.still a enjoyable evening.if your a scotch buff then give this a go while in Dunedin.

I was lucky enough to get a one-on-one tour of this grand, historic house as it was low tourist season. The tour guide was wonderful with a vast knowledge of the history and the details and was able to answer all my questions. I have been to old historic houses in the UK, Europe and Australia but for some reason this resonated with me the most. Maybe it was the sheer beauty of the decor and furnishings and the fact that there were artifacts from all over the world. Thank you for keeping this place open to the public. This is definitely a must-visit site if visiting Dunedin!

Our tour guide and reception ladies were so nice they helped us leant a lot with the history of Olveston Historic Home. Thanks team :)
