Excellent tour. Great value.

This tour was fantastic from start to finish. Our driver and guide Dennis was passionate about his city and NZ and went over and above to take us to all the Wellington highlights. The tour should only have been 3.5 hours but was actually 5 plus hours as Dennis wanted to ensure we saw all Wellington had to offer.
