Mark, the owner/tour guide for our group was terrific. He uses a very comfortable van. His knowledge of the area was superb and his manner of imparting it was not preachy. He took us to Lanarch Castle which was unbelievable. But the highlight was the ATV ride in the mountains. Our tour of Dunedin was a full day, and we... More

My husband and I prebooked this tour prior to arriving in New Zealand on a cruise ship. I cannot find the words to say exactly how wonderful this day was. It was a true highlight of our time away. The minivan was spotless, Mark was a careful driver and we really loved his easy manner and sense of humour. We... More

We arrived in Dunedin 227/02/2013 on the Sun Princess and took a pre-booked tour with Awesome Tours and part time driver Pat. A very pleasant experience with a safe, well informed driver who was passionate about the area he lives in. We did the Argo tour, Dunedin sights and Lanarch Castle. We had a beautiful fish and chip lunch at... More

We joined Awesome Private Day tours with a group of Cruise Critic travelers from aboard the Celebrity Solstice on 2/1/13. What a great day! It was a comfortable van, and well planned tour. He knows the area well. Couldn't get enough of the off road adventure. And, he supplied the restaurant for the best fish and chips I had in... More

We did a full day tour with Marc from Awesometours and we had a very good time. We went around the beautiful Otago Peninsula, great scenery and we did the exhilarating off-road adventure at Argo Wildlife, and then after lunch to Larnach castle with a city tour at Dunedin visiting the steepest street in the world. Great value for the... More

Mark was super easy to work with in setting up the tour, tailoring it to what the group wanted to do, and in taking care of payment from five different couples scattered... More

If anyone is spending time in Dunedin or on a cruise stop there I highly recommend doing this tour. It is an all day tour that shows how gorgeous New Zealand is, with lots of photo stops and explanations all the time. It goes to a sheep farm where they show how to herd the sheep, show you shearing the... More
