Amazing Tour Guide! - Alan gave my husband and me the most wonderful tour of Dunedin and the Otago Peninsula! He is warm, funny and just a pleasure to be with. One of the highlights of our trip to New Zealand was our tour with him.

Great visit to Dunedin and Otago Peninsula - Teresa was a fantastic guide on our excursion. Very personable, including a great sense of humor. The trip was well thought out, showing us many sites in and around Dunedin and Otaga Peninsula. She took great care of us, ensuring we all had food for lunch. She was very knowledgeable about the history, flora and fauna. Simply said, Teresa and tour were great.

This is a good one! - This was a fun trip - filled with beautiful views, lots of interesting information, and plenty of stops for photos and visiting. It was scheduled for the perfect amount of time. Teresa, our guide, was friendly, kind, and a delight to be with. Well worth booking!

Wonderful tour of Dunedin - For starters we had an excellent guide named Theresa. She had a vast knowledge of the surrounding areas and made sure to show us the best views and tell us the history of wherever we went. As a bonus, we went to the botanical gardens and got an overview of the indigenous plants and trees and those that came from other continents. I highly recommend this tour as I came from it having learned a lot about the area and saw beautiful nature and scenery.

Recommended excursion - It was a very enjoyable excursion to the Otago Peninsula. Teresa was a very good guide who spoke passionately about her region and country. After several visits in Dunedin, we rode a small bus around the peninsula, with beautiful views. Although no lunch was provided (very good, as that is usually a waste of time), there was the opportunity to eat something at the Albatross Center. On the return there was another stop at Dunedin train station.

Okay tour - We toured Dunedin, home to Otago University. Then went out to beautiful areas of the city, seeing lots of wildlife of the area. The trip to the Royal Albatross Center allowed us to see a few albatrosses in flight and some seals on the shore. It was another rainy day, but we made the best of it. I was able to sit in the front so I was able to take pictures, but the people in the back of the van couldn’t much, because the windows kept steaming up. And at times the people in the back couldn’t hear as well.

What Albatrose - We were disappointed with the albatrose tour, was not what we were lead to believe, but the rest was very good

To avoid - Not at all happy with this tour for which we were locked in a mini bus, a very long day, especially since this mini bus was uncomfortable with pitiful visibility (small windows) I strongly advise against this tour which is also the most expensive of the 8 tours we did in New Zealand.
