Small tours win again! - This was the perfect tour! With only five of us in the van, two separate families, our tour guide was able to adjust the schedule to suit everyone's interests.
2 hours might have initially felt like a short time, but we saw so much and learned so much. It never felt rushed. My mum had been to Dunedin twice before and was delighted to see and learn things she hadn't already on other tours.
Asta's local knowledge and passion for Dunedin were obvious. I loved hearing about Munuka honey and Dunedin's core industry, the university.
I personally loved the time taken in the Botanic gardens and the university. The stop at the stadium was clearly a highlight for our other tour family and something we may have missed otherwise. Brilliant!
If you have any special requests, I truly believe Fantail Tours will accommodate. Please don't hesitate to ask.

Great use of time and money! - Our trip was so well conducted by Asta! She was so friendly and a wealth of info. We got to see so many sites in a short amount of time - even a walk through of the rhododendron garden at the Botanical Gardens. Would highly tecommend

If you are limited with time, and don't want to drive! - I had very limited time and wanted to get an idea of Dunedin. Booking was easy: I reserved my spot several hours before the tour. I was lucky to be the only tourist on this tour. Asta, my guide was ready to tailor the experience for me, acting as my photographer since I was traveling solo. Thanks to her, I now have some great photos to memorize my experience. Asta took me to all the advertised places. our stops were short, but that's the point - just to familiarize myself with the city and to get an idea of where I want to return and spend more time. Thank you!

Great overview tour! - Great overview of the city and surrounding area! Asta, our guide, gave good commentary, and because there were no other passengers, was able to tailor stops etc. to our interests. The rhododendron dell in the botanic garden was amazing, and the views from different vantage points really helped give perspective.

Fun and informative tour - Aster was a fantastic guide and she actually did the tour just for me, so was extra special. We skipped one location as I had already been there and she was happy to tailor to that request. I would highly recommend this tour

Wonderful experience - Asta was a great tour guide. She took us to the city landmarks. Baldwin Street, the signal hill lookout and the botanical gardens are stand outs. Snowing during our tour was amazing.

Outstanding tour and guide - Asta was an EXCELLENT tour guide. Very friendly, welcoming and knowledgable about Dunedin. She took us around the city center, the university, the old railway station (beautiful!), an overlook (can't remember the name but fantastic), Baldwin Street (mind-blowing), and best of all, she took us on foot around the top part of the botanical garden. We enjoyed this tour immensely and highly recommend it!
