Wellington City Sightseeing Small Group Tour including Lunch - Wellington

From its unearthly south coast to its bizarre central Beehive, the contrasts and quirkiness of Wellington's wonders are unequalled anywhere on earth. Travel by cable car to the top of Mt Victoria, visit the Parliament buildings and Te Papa - the national museum.

Wellington is a vibrant, cosmopolitan city that's packed with drama, beauty, and pride. Its art, culture, and natural beauty make it a pleasure to share with discerning guests who want something more than everyday travel. This tour gives you a unique, unforgettable day in one of the world's most beautiful cities.

Everything is taken care of. You'll be picked up and dropped you off at your hotel or the airport and transported in air-conditioned luxury. Umbrellas and raincoats are even provided if you get caught in Wellington's changeable weather. The tour groups are small and friendly, operating with a minimum of two people and a maximum of six.

City Highlights: Travel around the earthquake-scarred south coast to see the ruins of the Wahine ferry disaster and the distant ranges of the South Island, overlooked by the coasters' houses perched on the steep, rocky hills. Enjoy the views of the harbor and Matiu Sommes Island, a deceptively pretty place where prisoners of war were quarantined during World War II.

Enjoy panoramic views of Wellington city and harbor from the top of Mt Victoria. Take a trip on the cable car, a charming and picturesque transport that is one of the few surviving in the world.

Culture and Architecture: In Thorndon, New Zealand's oldest suburb, visit the magnificent Parliament buildings and gorgeous Old St Paul's Cathedral. See the famous Beehive, the seat of government. It really is shaped like one!

Te Papa: Your day can also include a visit to the national museum, Te Papa, where you can explore the interactive displays and extraordinary mix of Maori and European heritage.
