Reviews: Wellington's Original LOTR Experience - includes Weta and Lunch
Guest User2024-10-09
Marc was the most amazing host. He was an extra on LOTR and has many interesting stories to tell as well as a behind-the-scenes knowledge of the filming locations. Every location was stunningly beautiful and I had a blast. Highly recommend Marc and this tour.★

Reviews: Spectacular Wellington: Full Day Private Sightseeing Tour
Guest User2025-12-20
We just came back to our ship from an amazing day in and around Wellington, NZ with Suzee from utours.
Tired of bus loads of confused travelers, talking over the guide, and then asking a question that was answered 20 minutes ago, we were looking for something different on this stop.
A *** search took us to this excursion, and we are glad we found it.
Suzee responded almost immediately to our inquiry and set up a time for us to talk on WhatsApp, so she could understand what we were interested to see in Wellington in order to set up an appropriate day or half day tour for us.
She kept in touch as we travelled, and watched the ship’s progress, notifying us that it would be delayed docking in the AM. At the port, she told us just where to expect her, and easily picked us up in a shiny new VW van that was very comfortable and wonderfully quiet inside, too.
From the port, she guided us up to the Zealandia Eco Reserve for beautiful views of the many points of Wellington. Along the way, she explained the history of the area in a very conversational way that was engaging and allowed us to ask questions in real time. As she drove, Suzee pointed out the local flora and fauna, and we were able to see several of the often elusive Parson’s bird. From there, we headed back down to the coast to explore more, and enjoyed a fabulous seaside lunch of fresh grilled fish at the Chocolate Fish.
As we headed back into town, she asked if we needed to stop anywhere like a pharmacy, a bank, whatever. I realized that we needed a nightlight for our ship’s bathroom. She thought for a quick second, then chuckled a little and said, “well this is the first time anyone has asked me to visit a hardware store!” And, within minutes, we were at the local equivalent of a HomeDepot/Lowes, where she helped us pick out one that would work on the ship which had EU plugs rather than AUS plugs.
In town, she took us to the New Zealand Parliament and explained its history, and she pointed out when the Prime Minister was passing right by us. From there, we headed to Old Saint Paul’s. It looked like not so much from the outside, but she said we should really step inside. It had amazing woodwork and was well worth the stop.
And, with that, our day was done. I must say, it felt like we had come into town and met an old friend who joyously escorted us to all of the cool places, while we caught up!
If you are going to be in Wellington, we highly recommend this tour and suggest you join them for a private and meaningful tour of this beautiful city and its surrounding area.★

Reviews: Wētā Workshop Guided Transfers & Tour
Guest User2024-10-10
Annie (hope I spelled it right) was a great guide, she had to deal with a party of 18 (noisy , distracting and generally a pain) and she handled them poise and professionalism . Great job. Made the experience great for the rest of the attendees. Thanks ★

Reviews: Wellington: Guided City Tour with Cable Car Ticket

This was a really good introduction to Wellington with a ‘warts and all’ commentary by our knowledgeable guide. He gave us facts as well as interesting snippets which you wouldn’t find in guide books.★

Reviews: Half Day Martinborough Winery Tour from Wellington
Guest User2024-08-11
Simon was an excellent host for our tour. He took into account the make up of our group and our requests, in particular noting we were all keen to try some local gin as well as wine. We were very lucky with amazing weather! The tour bus was comfy and clean and the venues we visited were so friendly and informative. Lunch venue was absolutely perfect! Thanks for looking after us and highlighting the best of NZ / South Wairarapa. Great value, excellent service. Thank you.★
