This is the short tour you want! - Book this tour for sure! We enjoyed the walking tour very much! We felt like we had known our guide, Louie, for years and he shared all kinds of tips about NZ that the usual travel guide won’t let you know. We felt that it was more than worth the price!

Sunny day in windy Welly - Walking with Louis was an enlightening experience. We walked to lovely suburbs that I would not have, otherwise. Information on NZ politics helped me to understand the present situation, and from an historical point of view. Facts on flora and fauna were informative. A very good afternoon. Thanks, Louis.
