• A Pleasant Day at Dunedin

  It was a very good itinerary with key tourist spots. The driver-guide Tim was knowledgable, friendly and good in time management. The Larnach Castle & gardens worth the visit, the Railway Station and Octogon University were beautiful buildings. If we could have more time at Octagon to browse around would be even better.

• A great way to experience Dunedin

  Tim was a great host, driver and guide. He explained many interesting facts about Dunedin, past and present, through the eyes of his Scottish heritage. We could appreciate the characteristic architecture of dark volcanic basalt and light sandstone on numerous handsome buildings. We had time to walk up and down Baldwin Street, the world's steepest street, and have a leisurely lunch in the town centre. In the afternoon, Tim guided us around the Scottish Larnach Castle and explained its history, with time for afternoon tea and scones! All in all, a very informative day in Dunedin, that we highly recommend. Thank you, Tim!

  Love small group tours like this compared to “shore excursions” offered by cruise companies. So easy to meet our guide in the cruise terminal. Tim had the cleanest van of all Viator tours I’ve taken over the years. I wish every company would clean their windows as good as these were! We saw all the sites on the agenda and had plenty of time. We were shown where to take great photos from too!🏆 I love a guide who loves his city and has passion for the area. It truly shined throughout! Great job!!! Lunch suggestions were spot on too. The castle tour was the best. No spending 30 minutes looking at brush strokes of a painting. We were walked through the rooms with interesting tidbits. Stories were good, the facts were shared then we had time to explore on our own while our guide made himself 100% available. Perfect! 6.5 hour tour got us back to the ship an hour before gangway up. Excellent Day!

  We had a wonderful day exploring the sights of Dunedin, with Larnach Castle being a definite highlight. Our tour guides, Tim and Joe, were friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable—nothing was ever too much trouble for them. There were only 15 people on our tour, which was a great group size and made the experience feel more personal and relaxed. The tour was very reasonably priced and included entry to Larnach Castle, which added great value to the experience. As we were visiting via cruise ship, we especially appreciated how well the tour was timed—we returned with plenty of time to spare. The six hours flew by, and we felt incredibly fortunate to see so much of Dunedin in such a short time. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish. We will definitely be back and cannot recommend this tour highly enough!

  Tim was a great tour guide! It was clearly marked about where to meet and what was expected. The castle was great, the history of the family so interesting. Just make sure to wear good shoes if you climb the hill!

  Outstanding tour ofthe city Octagon, university and the castle. Our driver/guide(and owner of the company) was timely, friendly and informative. Smaller coach allowed us to see things not available to large coaches. Highly recommended.

  The pre trip communication was clear and precise. We met right where we disembarked from the ship which was convenient. Tim was extremely knowledgeable and shared stories of the history of Dunedin in an engaging manner. The Tour day was well organized and the small 15 passenger van was a delightful way to hop on and off and view the sites . The train station, the steepest road along with downtown and castle all were able to be visited . We had time to explore downtown and to take tea in the castle ballroom/outside garden. The tour of the castle was narrated by Tim and he had such in-depth and interesting way to share details of the palace from origins to family drama to historical significance of the furnishings and building .
