Great time in Dunedin

Published on Feb, 2025

The areas we went to were amazing and the views were so great. Got to see a great amount of wildlife and some really good photo spots. Our guide was Asta she was amazing and just perfect for this tour. So much knowledge and she made the tour that much better. I recommend the tour and highly recommend Asta as your guide.

I recommend.

Ilene was very knowledgeable and made it fun. Enjoyed the lunch by the sea Ilene recommended. We enjoyed visiting the greenhouse at the Estate.

A great day in Dunedin

Published on Jan, 2025

We had a fabulous day of touring Dunedin. Our guide, Asta, was very knowledgeable of the area and showed us all of the sites including the Albatross rookery and OPERA penguin conservation center. Of course, we saw all of the famous sites like the botanical garden, the railroad station and the steepest street in the world. Asta organized our tour in a very efficient manner that enabled us to see everything in a short period of time. Her van was very comfortable and equipped with a speaker system that enabled everyone to hear her informative commentary. To top it off, she is very charming. We could not have asked for a better one day visit to Dunedin.

Lovely tour around...

Lovely tour around Dunedin and the Otago Peninsula. Packed in an overview of the city highlights, had lunch/coffee at a local cafe, and spent the afternoon driving out to the peninsula. Enjoyed a quick stop at the railway station, walked up the steepest street in the world, enjoyed a stroll through the botanic gardens, visited the u I resort, and drove through the historic cemetery.Stunning scenery and lots of wildlife (birds) along the way. Asta, our guide was pleasant and knowledgeable.

Friendly and informative...
