Erica_B, Feb 2024
THE BEST TOUR EVER. TOUR GUIDE was a local expert on everything Wellington and took us everywhere of significance. Great safe driving and she made sure it was personalized to our needs. Other passengers from the ship did not get the same inclusive tour and saw half of what we experienced. She was personable and patient. Definitely book with this company. I highly recommend this tour to everyone 💕!

Thank you for your kind review Erica. We love that we get to change up what we do every day so that you see what you want to see (and nothing you don't). I had a thoroughly delightful day with you both. Keep being fabulous! Jo
Diana_R, Feb 2024
We had a wonderful time with our guide Jo. She knew the best places to go that was not crowed with a lot of other tourists. Since we were in a smaller vehicle, we could avoid the big buses, and it made it our time in Wellington, much more enjoyable. Thank you Jo.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with uTours Diana. I had a lot of fun with your lovely group of friends. It is always good to be able to be flexible so we can hit the less crowded spots and avoid the queues. Until next time! Jo

Absolutely could not have been better. Suzzie the owner and guide is from Wellington and she knows all of the perfect places to see all the great sites and not be crowded where all the big tour buses are. She went over with us before we came to New Zealand to see what our preferences of what we like to do and then went over them again on the day of the tour. A 10 out of 10. Well worth the money!
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Hello Richard, Thank you for taking the time to write your review. Much appreciated. It was a privilege to spend the day with you both. For those who want it, we do find connecting before the tour adds a level of comfort and confidence as you know who will be picking you up and that we will there. All the best for the rest of your trip. Will be thinking of you both.

I literally cannot say enough wonderful things about these folks- Suzee was responsive, thoughtful and extremely accommodating of the needs of my elderly mother and our tour requests! If you want a truly personalized and fulfilling jaunt in and around Wellington, I would only trust Suzee or Jo at UTours to take you there! They were fantastic to work with and I will certainly be calling them the next time I am headed to New Zealand to see what we can do to incorporate their guidance and wisdom- lovely people, so thoughtful and attentive to our interests and wishes as well as a willingness to pivot as our wishes or the weather changed!!
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Thank you so much. You are right, the Wellington weather did not play ball, but the beauty of doing a private tour is that we can be flexible so you make the most of your time in Wellington.
Thank you for trusting us with our adjustments to your itinerary. I loved hanging out with you both. Take care and all the best for your adventures over the coming year.

Amazing day out with Suzee! We made the best use of our full day tour. Suzee is a delightful, energetic lady who took us all around Wellington where we got to see this beautiful city from a variety of vantage points. Our day included stops at the wind turbine, Taputeranga Marine Reserve, Weta Cave (a must for Lord of the Rings fans), Cuba street, parliament house and St Pauls old wooden church. And we had a delightful lunch at the Chocolate Fish Cafe. 6 out of 5 stars ...don't skimp on the half day tour, go with the full tour as there is so much to see in Wellington. And don't scroll past Suzee as she is a wonderful tour guide.
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Thank you Mal, what a delightful review. We really appreciate that you have taken the time to write our review. Getting 6 out of 5 is fabulous for a slightly competitive person like myself. It was a privilege to spend time with the four of you. Thank you for such a beautiful day. Until next time...
Maria_K, Feb 2023
My sister Liz and I had a full day private tour with Suzee in Wellington. It was well worth it! Suzee was a very good guide and gave us all of Wellington's history and current information. She took us all around to see the city from every hilltop surrounding the city. For lunch she took us to a local place at the waterfront. Very good food and no tourists. We also went through the city and took a ride with the Cablecar up to the top. After that we visited the Botanic Gardens. The day went by too fast and we would have liked to have more time. Thank you Suzee, we enjoyed every minute!
Response from Host, Feb 2023
Hello, Thank you for your lovely review. We certainly covered all the sights didn't we? I always get a buzz when we go to the places only locals use. It gives our guests a sense of the Wellington we live in. I'm always surprised by how quickly the time goes and yet how much we manage to cover. All the best to you both. See you next time. Thanks, Suzee

The best aspect of our tour of Wellington was our guide Jo. She was absolutely fantastic, very knowledgeable and very friendly. She personalized our tour by including visits to sights we were interested and bypassing sights we weren’t interested in seeing. A personal tour from Jo is the only way to see Wellington.
Response from Host, Feb 2023
Thanks so much for your review Dan. I had a delightful, fun (and of course tasty ) day with you both. Safe travels home and I look forward to seeing you next time you visit! Jo

It was a fabulous day. Very informative. Suzee was always very helpful. A perfect day. Especially recommended for disabled people.
Response from Host, Jan 2020
Hi Ronald, Thanks so much for your lovely review. I had a great day hanging out with you. Sometimes it is the simple things like getting to the supermarket that can be the most useful. Take care, Suzee
