See it all in Wellington even Gandalf
From the tour ride, Weta studio, cable car ride and rose garden were a great 1/2 day tour of the capital of NZ. A small group of 4 and interesting driver/guide made it worthwhile

Great Tour of Wellington
Tour was wonderful and we all had a great time. Driver was very knowledgeable and polite. Only complaint was the size of the vehicle. There were 4 of us, all adults, and the vehicle was a mid size car. 3 of us scrunched in the back seat all day was not very comfortable. That being said, I would do the tour again.

Well in Wellington
This tour went far beyond expectations! We started with Oriental Bay stop and traveled to Victoria Mt Lookout and then Into downtown. We stopped at the Weta Cave and had a moment experiencing the place that finalized Lord of the Rings. We saw the Beehive and then got to travel on the cable car as part of our tour. Our guide, Deller, was so flexible and allowed my husband and I to hike through the Botanical Garden and meet he and 2 other passengers in the Rose Garden. We learned so much of Wellington, Peter Jackson and Robert Taylorﾒs Lord of the Rings. It was a bit crowded with 4 passengers in a smaller vehicle but well worth the price. Covered a lot of ground in our half day tour. Would definitely recommend this tour!
