Excellent tour - An excellent tour with an excellent guide. Collected from and returned to the cruise terminal in Port Chalmers. A quick tour of Dunedin with lots of information about the town, including a stop at the beautiful station, en route to the Otago peninsula. Several stops at scenic points for photographs of the stunning scenery then down to a sea-lion crèche and on to a beach with sea-lions. Scenic journey back via the student district with some interesting houses and a quick photo stop at the world’s steepest street. A very relaxed tour made very special by our superb guide. Thoroughly recommended.

Perfect way to spend a day in Dunedin and Otago area - What a spectacular tour! We enjoyed the stops at Baldwin Street and the old railway station, but the highlight of our day was defiythe visit to the peninsula. We saw sea lion pups, mums, and a few knackered bulls! And the beach was truly beautiful! Glad we chose this tour.

What a man - Four of us had a great day filled with fantastic commentary from Chris. We had plenty of b time at Dunedin Railway station ( what a great piece of history). We visited Baldwin Street, the steepest Street in the world. Then on to the sea lions , they were so lazy and to get so close to nature was excellent. To top our day off Chris took our friend to the chemist to buy medication. You could not ask for a better tour guide. Thank you Chris what a gentleman.

Highly recommended. - The drive through Dunedin with the highlights such as the train station was very informative. The views of the Otago peninsula were amazing. A big bonus to see New Zealand sea lions and many native birds. The geography of this area of NZ is similar to that of Scotland. Our guide Chris was absolutely fantastic. Highly recommended!
