Overview

A fun and informative introduction to Wellington. Leaving from the grand Neo-classical train station, a quick walk to the Parliament grounds will provide insight into New Zealand and Wellington politics. From here we'll take a walk atop the Wellington seismic fault line to the botanic gardens, these gardens marry the exotic with the native beautifully, and we shall garner an understanding of New Zealand's unique flora and fauna as we walk through some dense New Zealand bush. Reaching the top of the gardens, at the top of the cable car, we'll take in the beautiful view, point out some landmarks and generally orientate ourselves. From here we will walk through suburbs and places 90 percent of tourists never see, winding up on Cuba st, the heart of the city, for a quick refreshment. We will finish at the national Museum on the waterfront. Guests are guaranteed to come away from this tour with a better understanding of Wellington and New Zealand.

Excellent tour

Published on Feb, 2025

Our guide, Louis, was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and willing to answer any and all questions that we had. Due to a cancellation of another couple on the tour, it was a private tour. But we were not rushed and the tour wasn't shortened because there were only two of us. This was our favorite activity in New Zealand!

Great way to see Wellington

Published on Feb, 2025

Louis walked us gently to the summit which was a great way to see and hear about the various neighbourhoods rather than take the cable car. We walked through the botanical gardens, had a drink in the cafe at the top, took in the fabulous views and walked down the other side through different neighbourhoods rather than. Louis was a great guide and happy to go at our pace. Highly recommend.

Great day in Wellington with Louis.

Published on Feb, 2025

Louis led our tour this morning and it was an excellent way to see Wellington and learn so much about the area and New Zealand. We did a lot of walking in this beautiful city but none of it was strenuous. We chatted the whole tour and time flew by. What beautiful views Wellington has to offer. We really enjoyed taking those back streets and then popping out at places we had read about before the tour. How convenient. We took this tour on our second full day in Wellington. We love how we will be able to carry around the knowledge we received.

Fabulous walking tour!

Published on Jan, 2025

We fully enjoyed our walking tour with Louis. Throughout our walk he covered a wide variety of topics which led us to a deeper understanding of New Zealand: the volcanic history, native flora and fauna, Maori history and culture, the New Zealand government, history/architecture of Wellington and its neighborhoods. Definitely time and money well spent! Thank you, Louis

A behind the scenes walking tour

Published on Jan, 2025

You should be in good shape,because there were a lot hills.Louis was very informative about everything from foliage,politics of NZ and architecture and Māori culture. We stopped on Cuba St at a nice little place called Olive,for some cold drinks.Good all around walk.
