Our 4 hour personalized tours of Dunedin for small groups of a maximum of 4 people give you the best way to see Dunedin. Tours can include wildlife, historic buildings, wonderful scenery or you can just let us know what you want to see and we will take you there, adding a bit of history on the way. As we are small groups it allows us to stop when and where you want and we will take you to all of those top stops for photos where larger groups do not have time for.
Dunedin has much to offer in the way of wildlife and historic buildings. In the city itself we have excellent Edwardian and Victorian architecture including the historic train station and Otago University. The Botanic Gardens, Otago museum and the Early Settlers museum are also worth a visit at no cost. There are also some excellent spots for photo opportunities of the entire city. Only one hour north of Dunedin is the amazing Moeraki boulders and a nearby seal and sea lion colony which are both free attractions.
At Taiaroa Head there is the Albatross Colony, Natures Wonders and Penguin Place each of which offer guided tours. On the way we have amazing scenery between our typical New Zealand hilly sheep country and the Pacific Ocean. You can also visit the historic homestead of Olveston or enjoy the Cadbury Chocolate factory for a one hour guided tour. Each of these guided tours are at the clients own expense.
To really get to see the Dunedin hospitality guests would also be welcome for a cuppa at my home should they so desire. Please note this is a personal guided experience around the city, if any attractions are wanting to be visited the clients pays for the ticket locally and it isn't included in the price.
We specifically requested a day tour with a local to show us the sites with the eyes of one who takes pride in their community but also being balanced on the usual tourist value for money (expecting to see stuff which are only for brochures). John exceeded expectations was very honest and caring!

We felt like we really experienced Dunedin. It was just us and our guide so we went to places out of the way and far more interesting than the usual tourist locations. Even the pub we had lunch at was so different -- filled with only the locals and great food. Loved some of the picturesque backroads -- just amazing! Our guide was so helpful. This is the way to see a foreign country!
