Above and Beyond
This company shows up and preforms! Worst storm in 12+ years BUT I got an individual tour by a native who happens to be docent at National Museum. Big tip! I forget his name but he accomodated my personal requests ( photos, cups water fountain, etc). Dropped me off at waterfront. A dream adventure! Love Wellington as a result, you will too.
From Discover Wellington - 3 Hrs City Highlights Tour
Thanks for your feedback, Annette! We've had some pretty miserable weather recently, but that doesn't dampen our enthusiasm for this city.
