“What a magnificent day with Suzee! This was the most amazing tour! Suzee is so personable and knowledgeable, we immediately felt comfortable. She picked us up in a really nice van and brought local NZ-made drinks and snacks for us.
The area around Wellington is beautiful! She asked about our preferences and then took us to many beautiful places including Paraparaumu Beach, the Kapiti Island lookout, the Paekākāriki Marine’s Memorial & the Paekākāriki Hill Road lookout. We had lunch together at a great seafood place in Paraparaumu Beach. It was a place where the locals go – great fish and chips! She also surprised us with a trip to a farm where we saw incredible things – won’t go into detail as I don’t want to ruin it for others.
Suzee is an incredible tour guide, and most importantly, an incredible person! If you are thinking of doing a tour with her, don’t hesitate, it is so worth it. It is one of the best things we did on our trip to NZ, and we now have a great appreciation for Wellington and the surrounding area. Suzee felt like family immediately and we will definitely stay in touch with her.”

“Absolutely a fantastic tour. Our trip isn’t over yet but I know when we look back on it, this is going to be the highlight. It was exactly what we were looking for in a tour. To begin with the communication was excellent. I never had any concern about the reliability.
Not only was Suzee knowledgeable, but she had a fabulous sense of humor. It was a perfect variety of places to see and eat. We feel like we gained an insight on life in New Zealand and the politics. We all feel like we have made a new friend. If you are considering this tour, do not hesitate to book it.” – Max, US
“Wow!! Great guides!! My husband and I had booked the Half Day tour of Wellington several months earlier. Jo met us and showed us around her beautiful city. She had local chocolates and soft drinks ready for us. When we again found ourselves in Wellington I contacted Jo and asked her if she was available on the NEXT day!! She was not, but Suzee was.
Suzee showed us just exactly what we wanted to see…country life, daily life! We had lunch at a great local fish & chips place…not another cruiser in sight – a plus! I can highly recommend tours with either of these great ladies! Thanks, Jo and Suzee!! Until next time!!”
