Thanks for your feedback, Anja. Sadly, the weather is one thing we can't control, but I'm glad the driver's jokes hit the mark!

Had a great experience with the city tour! The guide was very informative and very friendly. Despite the wet weather they still made sure we did not miss out anything.

Thanks, Becky! We've designed the tour to give people a great overview of Wellington life and history for them to use during their stay here, or to get as much out of the place during a short stop in town
