Such an informative couple of hours with Gregor on a private walking tour of Dunedin, he was full of useful information and a couple of tall tails as well.

Gregor treated us to lots of stories at the cemetery and around Dunedin. We enjoyed the lunch where we had some of our best food on the trip. The last stop was Larnach Castle, and our visit there was interesting, too. He is a professional guide and a serious historian, and our group of four came away from our tour with good insights into Dunedin's history. RECOMMENDED!

This was a wonderful way out. Helped by golden weather and an amazingly informative and knowledgeable guide, I had had one of the best days of my first visit to New Zealand. Gregor’s knowledge of the city, Otago, New Zealand (and elsewhere) was the stuff of legend. It started in the North Cemetery at the Larnach family tomb where he revealed hugely interesting detail about the family ahead of the afternoon visit to Larnach Castle. Our swing past the gorgeous main old university building and the equally delightful railway station (he and I shared a live of trains and railways) raised the bar again. The stop at Baldwin Street where I had time to walk to the top (much puff expended!) was pretty special. But, for me as a rugby fan, the absolute highlight was that he happily detoured out to where the All Blacks’ feared House of Pain had once stood. Demolished now and confined to the pages of sporting history, nothing remains of this old multi-sport arena except for a wall of about six turnstile gates to which he took me. I was lost in time and memories of such entrances to the old open terraces I stood on as a boy 60 years ago in a far away country. Thank you, Gregor. The afternoon visit to Larnach Castle was fascinating, its gardens beautiful and its location on the hill breathtaking. Equally breathtaking was the scenic journey back with views from the hills across the water and out to the city spreading out on the hillsides. If you want to see the best of Dunedin in a day then this is the trip to take …

Pick up from our cruise was super easy and on time. There were only 2 of us, so I appreciate that they didn't cancel and gave us a private tour. Lots of information and good overall city and castle tour. The lunch stop with incredible views and great food was also a bonus. Very nice, friendly, informative tour!

Gregor picked us up on time at the dock and drove sensibly in the rain. He is an amateur historian with a wealth of knowledge. He told us many stories and pointed out interesting sights. I especially enjoyed the cemetery. The lunch stop was well-organized and also delicious. I am very glad we booked this tour.

Gregor is the best tour guide I have ever seen. He was 10 minutes earlier at my pickup location and drove me around Port Chalmers for sightseeing because we got there earlier while waiting for other tourists. He is so knowledgeable about history that he told us a lot of stories. It was a fun as well as an enlightening tour. I learned so much about Dunedin and New Zealand.

Absolutely great tour and very informative. Thank you, Gregor, for the great trip around Dunedin and Larnach Castle. Had a very lovely lunch with great views of the city. I recommend taking this tour to find the real Dunedin. :)

Gregor was a phenomenal guide!!! Very informative and accommodating! Highly recommend this tour of Dunedin when visiting

Very enjoyable, informative tour with historian guide who knew all about the history of Larnach Castle. Also had the opportunity to walk up Baldwin Street, the steepest street in the world and to visit the historical Dunedin Railway Station. Went for a delicious lunch at the Luna Bar & Restaurant where we had great food and fabulous views. Excellent tour of Larnach Castle as well.

A great team and Loleen in the office answered all our queries and needs - thank you. We could not recommend this team more.

Our excursion with Gregor was wonderful. He picked us up front the cruise terminal and made it as easy as possible. He drove us throughout the city telling us interesting facts about each place, we went to Baldwin St., took a quick cemetery tour, had a fabulous lunch with an even better view, visited the train station, scenic overlooks, and ended with a guided tour of Larnach castle. He was a wealth of knowledge and was very efficient with the time. He had menus from the restaurant in his van and called our orders in so they were waiting on us when we arrived. It was great. He had us back at the ship right on time.

Gregor was fantastic! He was exceptionally knowledgeable, joyful and full of wonderful facts and stories. Our tour began at the Larnach family tomb with many stories. We then went to the Dunedin Train Station, what a treasure! Next we went to Baldwin Street, the steepest street in the world. We were given the option to climb. What an experience! He took us to lunch at a small intimate restaurant with a view of Dunedin. We finished our tour at Larnach Castle. Gregor’s descriptions and historical knowledge made the experience exceptional. Being on a small group tour, we never felt rushed anywhere. Would highly recommend this tour and Gregor.

We had concerns when we were informed that our ship’s boarding time was changed from 4:00 to 3:00, but Gregor assured us that we would still be able to see just about everything. He told us all kinds of “dark tales” and was very knowledgeable about everywhere we went(he’s local). He continually studies the area in a quest to be even more well-informed. Our tour of Larnach Castle was leisurely and fascinating, with a brief time to grab a snack. We were back in time. Best tour ever!

Our tour guide was great, he really knew the history of Dundin. We arrived on a rainy day and he made all the adjustments needed to make our tour special.

Highly recommended. Couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend my day. Small group tours are the best way to get the full experience and history of the city. Thanks to Gregor for the history, humor and dark side of Dunedin.
