Reviews
A very pleasant walk covering key city highlights. Slightly more detail at a couple of stops would enhance it further, though we still found it very enjoyable and informative.
I discovered places I would never have found on my own. The storytelling aspect really brought Wellington to life for me.
The tour was easy to follow and very engaging. Perhaps adding estimated time at each stop would make planning even smoother, but overall it’s definitely worth doing.
