See it all in one day with a local guide - An outstanding experience with a friendly and knowledgeable guide. We saw so much more than we would have on our own or as part of a cruise ship excursion. Our driver met us directly inside the cruise terminal and the entire experience was a delight. Special thanks to Ken for making the most of our day despite some challenging weather.

Recommend to all - Five out of five rating. Ryan was very nice tour guide and we are very happy with our booking. We had visited the city and out of the city.

Great time in Dunedin! - We had a great time in Dunedin! Ryan, our guide was amazing. Knowledgeable, considerate and professional. We enjoyed the beautiful beaches and the lush rolling hills with the sheep farms & cattle ranches. The only complaint is not enough time to eat and shop.

Loved Dunedin - Our guide Ken was friendly and knowledgeable about the region. Nothing was too much trouble…he even made an unplanned stop so we could buy cookies at Cookie Time!

Comprehensive Dunedin - The only reason it’s not a 5 rating is the weather; mist obscured many fine views. The driver/guide Ryan was excellent. He was very friendly and knowledgeable, imparting very interesting information about Dunedin throughout the tour. The tour itself is comprehensive including all the main attractions of Dunedin.

Nature and city tour - The tour was not as advertised. We did not stop at the botanical gardens or the eco centre. We were taken to Lanoch castle which was not on the itinerary and encouraged to purchase tickets. As some people got off there our driver filled in 2.5 hours at places of little interest meaning no time for the places we wanted to see and very little time in Dunedin centre - not a great tour

Poorly organised - The itinerary advised was not followed at all. The driver let the passengers just do their own thing and to their own time schedule which made the tour run behind schedule. We had to be back to the port of Chalmers by a set time for our ship departure.
