Wellington City Tour
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.

Fantastic trip for the first morning in wellington. Our guide Hamish was brilliant he gave us so much information on the city. Would highly reccomend.

Thanks, Becky! We've designed the tour to give people a great overview of Wellington life and history for them to use during their stay here, or to get as much out of the place during a short stop in town

Great way to see Wellington!
Grant our tour guide is a wealth of knowledge & very personable! If you have limited time in Wellington or want to see the highlights of Welly, this is for you. Thoroughly enjoyed it & so did my 2 teen kids. Would definitely recommend.
From Discover Wellington - 3 Hrs City Highlights Tour
Thanks Shandi! We try to cram in as much as we can without feeling rushed. The idea is to give a real sense of what Wellington is all about before letting you write your own story during your stay. Very happy the whole family enjoyed the experience!
