2/24/2026A 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.
Mia Thompson
2/24/2026I discovered places I would never have found on my own. The storytelling aspect really brought Wellington to life for me.
Oliver Hayes
2/24/2026The 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.
