Great way to see the highlights of Wellington! Phil, the tour guide is amazing! - We loved this comprehensive tour of Wellington! Phil was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable and accommodating to traveler interests. He thoughtfully dropped us at the National Museum at the end of the tour (rather than the designated location). If you want a great day visiting the variety of main attractions in Wellington, highly recommend!
