Description
Discover the best of Wellington with a local guide on a shared tour. Learn about the city's history, culture, and landmarks as you explore many other places of interest. Our journey starts by safely collecting all of our guests & getting onboard our vehicle. If you are coming in by cruise ship, we will collect you directly from the port. If you are being collected from your hotel then please wait in reception or just outside where you can been seen by your friendly guide. If you are being collected from the iSite then pop out to the tour bus stop just outside/beside the iSite. What about this for a first stop! Check out the best vantage point in our beautiful city, breathtaking 360 degree views. Stunnnnning! Probably the best photo opportunity on the tour, our guide/host is your personal photographer for the day. We head due south to our stunning coastline. Did you know that no matter where you are in Wellington, you are 3km (1.8 miles) from a beach? How lucky are we!? We continue around our stunning coastline where you can breath the fresh, salt air & marvel in the picturesque views. As we turn the corner, we learn about Wellingtons worst ever maritime disaster in a more sombre moment. Next we stop at the Weta Cave, who are most famous for the incredible work in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. This is also your chance to purchase some memorabilia, check out some of the items on show in the mini museum & you'll even have a photo opportunity with the Cave Trolls! We make our way back into the city via Oriental Bay & your guide will keep you informed as we go. Please laugh at his/her jokes! One of the most iconic attractions in Wellington is our Cable car. You'll take a short ride up to the suburb of Kelburn where you'll get to enjoy more spectacular views of Wellington on arrival. Your ride on the Cable Car is included in your tour price. Next stop, Botanical Gardens. Did you know that in 2015, the Lady Norwood Rose Garden received the Garden of Excellence award from the World Federation of Rose Societies? Well you do now! . Then we're off to the Parliament’s grounds, which are used regularly for many kinds of public gatherings. From the grounds you can admire Parliament’s buildings, the flags on the many flagpoles, the rose and camellia gardens, fine ironwork on the gates and lamp standards, and commemorative statues and plaques. Wow! Hopefully you'll agree that we've packed loads of Wellington goodness into your time spent with us today. However as the old saying goes, all good things must come to an end. We offer a few different locations for you to get dropped off & don't forget that Wellington is a very small, compact city that is easy to get around & you're never too far from where you want to be. What a day out!Includes
