Picturesque and unforgettably beautiful, Wellington is nestled around a sparkling, bustling harbour with residential housing
extending up the sides of green valley hills. Voted the most liveable city in the world in 2017 and 2018, you will not be disappointed with your tour of our lovely city.
This tour will delight you with breath-taking scenic views and photo opportunities, along with the fun of experiencing first-hand some of our favourite tourist attractions. You will be picked up from your meeting point and we will continue downtown past Te Papa and the QT hotel, seeing St Gerard's church and monastery before we drive up to the top of Mount Victoria to see spectacular views of Wellington's city and harbour. Have your cameras ready!
We now drive to Lyall Bay beach, pass Wellington airport and see some of the rugged coast line. On a clear day you may see some spectacular views of the South Island. We pass Barrett's Reef, where on 10 April 1968 the roll on/roll off ferry Wahine hit the reef and capsized near Seatoun (just a short distance from the shoreline) during a hurricane resulting in 52 lives being lost.
It is time to drive to the Wellington sign on our way to Weta Studios on the Miramar Peninsula for your Lord of the Rings experience with a short visit to Weta Cave where you will have a chance to purchase Lord of the Rings memorabilia (for any Tolkein fans) and more photo opportunities. Continuing around the coastline, passing popular Oriental Bay before we venture through the different parts of the inner city ending up at the bottom of the iconic Wellington cable car (which first carried passengers in 1902).
After you have travelled to the top in the cable car and visited the quaint museum at that end, you will have more breath-taking panoramic views of the harbour and city. Then we drive pass the lovely Botanic Gardens and drive through the Lady Norwood Rose Garden, before seeing Parliament Buildings and its grounds and finally Old St Paul's Cathedral" one of the world's best examples of Gothic Revival architecture. You are NEXT dropped off wherever you wish within the city centre to take with you lasting fond memories of your visit to Wellington.

Lo disfrutamos mucho, aunque hay cosas por mejorar. El paso por Lady Norwood fue rápido y directo. Muy buena relación precio calidad. Esperamos unos quince minutos más de lo acordado.

Muy buena organización
Una experiencia redonda. Los tiempos estaban bien calculados, no se sintió apurado. El recogida por el crucero o Wellington Central City vale por sí solo. Ya lo recomendé a dos amigos que viajan el mes que viene.

Altamente recomendable
Se pasó volando y nos quedamos con ganas de más. Lady Norwood quedó en todas nuestras fotos. Todo el trámite fue digital, no tuvimos que imprimir nada. Sacamos muchísimas fotos, el recorrido pasa por los lugares justos. Ojalá todos los tours fueran así.

We spent the evening talking about how good it had been. Our guide was warm and took time to chat with everyone. If we come back to Wellington, we will do it again.

Great service
Excellent from start to finish. Lady Norwood blew us away, we were not expecting that. Our guide was the highlight: incredibly knowledgeable and happy to answer anything. Suitable for any age.

Nada a reclamar, tudo saiu como estava descrito. Mandamos uma dúvida no WhatsApp e responderam em minutos. O detalhe de cruzeiro ou embarque em Wellington Central City faz diferença. Das melhores coisas que contratamos pela internet.
