I have used Iconic Tours (previously Arthur's Tours) for many years as an airport transfer service to Dunedin city and return. This is over a period of 6 weeks and involves 50-60 doctors coming to Dunedin for a surgical training course. Most of these visitors have never been to Dunedin previously. We all know how busy doctors are and invariably... More

Our driver guide, Kim, picked us up at the dock wearing his Scottish hat. He was very friendly knowledgeable. Our first stop was the old railway station to have a look. As we headed out to the Otago Peninsula, Kim shared a great deal of information about the area. The scenery was lovely. We proceeded on to Larnarch Castle. Kim... More

My husband and I were fortunate to get "Arthur" as our driver / tour guide who give us an excellent tour. We opted for tour #8 (Otago Peninsula and Larnach Castle) and since there were only 4 participants, he drove us around in a car, not a bus! This enabled us to drive up and down steep Baldwin Street, allowed... More

We wanted to see the area, the Larnach Castle Gardens and the Yellow eyed Penguins and Royal Albatross on the Otago Peninsula. We managed all this and more... More

Iconic tours is highly customisable with the local knowledge to make the most of your day without stressfully over-filling it. You won't find a better tour guide than Kim. Honestly, don't even pay for someone at a venue to take you through on a tour - Kim can do it better. He drove safely, provided us with yummy snacks, took... More
