Great variety of stops! Reasonable price. Bus was a little crowded, but we managed. Tour guide was personable. Glad we did it.

What an incredible day sightseeing in Wellington with Liz. We saw all the sights and had a fabulous commentary from Liz! Lunch was amazing at Cohene’s. The fish and pumpkin risotto and the beef cheeks were to die for - the best meal we have had so far in New Zealand. We learned so much from Liz about the history of Wellington and the surroundings. Don’t give this tour a miss and Liz is an absolute must!

This was one of our favorite tours of New Zealand. From when we arrived at the dock to when we got dropped back off, everything was perfect. Our driver took the tour from good to amazing.

Our guide Alan gave us a wonderful overview of the city, with informative and interesting commentary along the way. We were able to identify spots to return to, as well as those where a quick stop was sufficient.

We had a real problem getting off the ship. The tour guide/ bus driver waited about 30 mins for us. In the end they had to leave. When we finally got off the ship another guide called the boss. He came and picked us up and drove us to meet our tour. Such a nice man, and what great service. They all went out of their way to help us. The tour was fantastic. The tour guides had a lot of knowledge, he was also fun to be with. The tour was much more than we expected. A must for all Lord of the rings fans.

The LofR tour was great even in the rain. Lester, our guide, was very knowledgeable and keen to answer any questions about New Zealand at all. Very glad I chose the full day tour to the various locations and the Weta Workshop tour was excellent. Highly recommend.

I would highly recommend this Wellington city tour if you only have one day in town or are visiting on a cruise ship. It really covers a lot of points of interest in a short amount of time. We developed a real appreciation of the city after the tour.

We were on the cruise ship Royal Caribbean Ovation of the Seas.

The city tour was a fantastic overview of the Wellington and our driver Dennis gave us an excellent description of each point of interest. He has great local knowledge and a touch of humor. We had an excellent time and felt this trip was money well spent. You really can't go wrong with this tour. Thank you Dennis and Xplor Tours for a fantastic day in Wellington!
