Amazing experience
Our driver Kelvin was amazing. Our ship departure time had moved up an hour, but Kelvin had already known about this before he arrived...we were an older famlt group of 8 and he accommodated the less mobile with great care. We were given the opportunity by Kelvin to adjust all aspects of the tour to our liking. He had a wonderful personality and his pride in NZ really showed. Many highlights and some special great memories...and the lunch provided was delicious to sa the least...

Review from McConnachie
Was not expecting a personalised tour. Expected a bus with other people on it.
Totally enjoyed this tour. The driver (forgot his name) enquired what we were mainly interested in, and concentrated on these places. We said no to the Museum as we will be coming back to NZ for a fly/drive holiday. WE were mainly after a overview of Wellington, and got a lot more.
We will recommend this tour, and advise people to make a list of what they want to concentrate on and maybe contact the tour people in advance.
Regards, Trish and Peter McConnachie

Best tour ever
We would give more than excellent if we could. There was only two of us and he took us places where buses couldnﾒt be driven, gave us talks about the history and if he seen we were interested in something he would get us closer so we could have a good look. He shouted a delicious lunch. He had all the time in the world and never rushed anything. Would highly recommend this to anyone especially if you can get Andrew as a driver. Thoroughly enjoyed the day. Thank you Andrew

Full day in Wellington
We had a wonderful day in Wellington. We had a private driver, Selwyn, who took us to all the local tourist spots and views. He had tickets for us to the WICA studio and the cable car. He took us to an excellent local restaurant for lunch and all the time he was friendly and informative. The weather was pouring down rain, but he said he was our driver for the day and we could go and do as we pleased. We spent a couple of hours shopping in Wellington's very eclectic shopping district. It was all perfect!
