A tour with Gregor is like no other. Emerging business award finalist, Tales From Darkest Dunedin and Gregor Campbell, respected historian and expert story teller has been uncovering forgotten events and people in Dunedin's history. He has been featured in newspapers for his finds and recently on the cover of New Zealand Heritage Magazine for his cemetery tours. Gregor is particularly interested in colonial history, the exchanges between Māori Kāi Tahu, the Scottish and the everyday people that came to make a life here, for better or for worse. And now he's your tour guide!
Gregor's stories of murder, shipwrecks, discovery, heroes and villains are exclusive to Tales From Darkest Dunedin and weave together to give a greater picture of our city and the lives that brought it to where it is today.

5.00What a great tour and personalised service, very glad I booked this to see some Dunedin sights on my own without the hassle of renting a car and driving myself. Some fascinating tales from a committed guide and door to door in a comfortable vehicle.

5.00Gregor was the very best host and driver. His passion for the history and his quirky sense of humour entertained us for 5 hours. He answered all our questions and personalised our trip.

5.00Our tour guide/driver was excellent and extremely knowledgeable having lived all his life in Dunedin. Larnarch’s Tomb, the family history and the Castle were all interesting. Being a fan of architecture we loved Dunedin Train Station. Lunch @ Luna Cafe (NIC) in the hills was very good.
A great day out!

5.00Gregor provided an excellent, comprehensive, tour of Dunedin. I was the only passenger on his tour for the day, so he happily tailored the tour to suit my interests. I appreciated how obliging he was, taking me to see street art that I hadn’t been able to get to on foot. My experience at Larnach Castle was fantastic, thanks to Gregor’s knowledge and storytelling. He patiently waited while I walked up Baldwin Street and back down, and at no point hurried the tour. To have my own tour guide for 5 1/2 hours was amazing! I was very comfortable in the air-conditioned van, and appreciated being able to charge my phone. Highly recommend this company - both Lolene and Gregor made it a really positive experience.
Fantastic tour!

5.00Gregor is a fantastic tour guide! His knowledge and background as a historian adds colorful and amazing insights to the history he shares. The tour itself was even better than the description given and the stop at Luna with its amazing view was the perfect place for lunch. The details he added as he guided us through the Lanarch Castle helped us more fully appreciate the art and architecture of that beautiful structure. We were also appreciative of the fact that he was very careful to stay within the timeline throughout the tour so that we had no worries about making it back to the ship on time. Take this tour. It will be one of the highlights of your trip!

5.00Wow, what a fascinating tour. It gave me a whole new outlook on the city and its history and past inhabitants. I remain intrigued...my tour guide was passionate about the city's history and all the beauty that it has to offer, even if it does have some dark tales. Do this tour, you will not be disappointed. And, he knows some good eating places
