Awesome experience in Wellington - The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a great time. Her passion for the destination was contagious, and she shared fascinating insights that made the experience truly unforgettable.
The itinerary was well-planned, balancing relaxation, and unique cultural moments.
The transportation was comfortable, and every detail was taken care of, excellent lunch included, making the entire tour seamless and stress-free. We also appreciated the small group size, which made it feel more personal.

Informative tour of highlights of "Windy Wellington" - With Steve as our driver and guide, we were treated to an informative and enjoyable tour of highlights of Windy Wellington (and it was windy!). Six passengers in the van was much more intimate than any of our cruise ship excursion choices, and allowed us to see much more. Steve's love and knowledge of the area came through as he showed us to the sites. Walking down through Botanic Garden was a nice way to stretch our legs in a lovely park toward the end of the day. And Steve got us back to the ship in plenty of time. Highly recommended.

Great Wellington experience - We had a very enjoyable day. Interesting commentary with enough information without overload. We did this tour as a shore excursion and would suggest it's nearly a must do to experience both the city sites and the rugged amazing coastline. Thank you Athena.

The lunch venue, choice and quality of food was exceptional.
