Great Tour - John was the best tour guide we’ve ever had! He was born and raised in the area and knows everything about it. He took us all over the city and hill tops, and made multiple stops. We picked up lunch and ate at one of his favorite places on the beach. He does the job because he enjoys it and it really shows! I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see Wellington.

The owner of kosher tours made the pickup at the ship extremely easy. Gave us a great view of the city and the harbor. A - The owner of kosher tours made it very simple. We were picked up right at the ship and dropped off back at the ship. The views were amazing and they tried to pack an awfully lot into just a 5-hour tour of the great Capital city of Wellington.

Lovely sites of Wellington - Very informative guide/driver. We were treated to many wonderful sites and would recommend this tour to none New Zealanders. It might have been better in a mini bus as most of us were 60 plus and getting in and out the car was more challenging.
