Private scenic tour for six of Dunedin

Published on Feb, 2025

We were a group of six older women traveling together. Lucy was a wonderful guide for our day in Dunedin. We had multiple stops in the city and then a lovely scenic drive and time to take a nature walk at beautiful Allans Beach, before our lunch and tour of Larnach Castle. Lucy made sure we were back to our ship in time. We would recommend this private tour of Dunedin.

Fabulous day with Lucy

We had a wonderful time. Lucy took me to so many amazing places. She was a wonderful guide and give us a lot of information. Very nice tour.

Excellent tour!

We loved Lucy! She was knowledgable and took us to many locations to get beautiful photos. She paid attention to the tide so that we would be able to see the sea lions on the beach. She also monitored information from the port and discovered our ship was scheduled to leave earlier than our original itinerary. She personalized our tour to make sure we got back to the ship in a timely manner. We had a great time with her and covered a lot of territory! We felt like we got the most out of our only day in Dunedin. We highly recommend this tour!

We were taken to great...
