Private Half Day Tour was a standout trip experience.

Published on Mar, 2025

On a private tour with Suzee you're afforded the opportunity to make your time around Wellington personalized and memorable. Suzee made us feel welcomed, safe, and attended to. Couldn't imagine our time in Wellington without having had a private tour!

Tailored and special memories

Published on Mar, 2025

We had an amazing time with Suzee who tailored a trip where we could have an experience not normally found in tourist guides, but met our specific interests. We went to lookouts where we could see the South Island and spectacular coastal scenery, visited a couple of museums and art galleries, picked some apples and fed some eels. Highly recommended.

Exceptional Private Wellington Tour Experience with Utours

Published on Feb, 2025

We had a wonderful private tour of Wellington with Utours. From booking to the tour itself, their communication was excellent. Our guide, Jo, was friendly, knowledgeable, and a great driver. They even provided healthy snacks for our 3.5-year-old daughter, which was very thoughtful of them. Utours made everything easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for a great private tour in Wellington!

Perfection

Published on Feb, 2025

This was amazing Suzee and Jo nailed it. Provided a great experience for our family’s needs in the timeframe. We saw so much in the time we had together. Great experience!!! They even went so far as to provide wonderful recommendations for our other parts of our holiday.

Excellent tour, knowledgeable, friendly and very accommodating to my schedule!
