We know Welly is a long way from your home. You’ve got here, let’s have a fabulous day together.
Wellington has an abundance of things to do and when time is tight it can be difficult to make the decision about what to do and what to leave out. As your local Wellington experts for the day, we help you make those decisions.
We will customise your Wellington sightseeing tour according to your group’s interests eg shopping, beaches and nature, art galleries, museums, food and café culture, whilst providing a snapshot of what we, as locals, believe to be the best bits of Wellington.
We design your private Wellington tour together – your time, your tour, with only your friends and family.
“Book Now!!! This Wellington Day Tour was a “10”! Jo was simply wonderful. Her knowledge of Wellington and New Zealand was expansive and it was clear she had a passion to provide visitors with a fun and educational experience.
We immediately felt like family…simply an amazing achievement by Jo. We saw the beautiful scenery, architecture and art of Wellington. A stop at a local cafe was great as we were able to enjoy meeting and chatting with locals…they were so very welcoming!
Just a lovely day packed with unforgettable memories and a better understanding of this great city’s history and its people. We can’t thank Jo enough for making this such a special day!”

“When I think back on our travels, our shore excursion in Wellington with Suzee is one of my most cherished memories from the trip. Can’t say enough good things. If you’re wondering if you should book a tour with uTours… do it! HIGHLY recommend!!!
Suzee responded to my tour inquiry almost immediately, and expressed genuine curiosity about what we were interested in to be sure to tailor our time in the city specifically to our desires. All her pre-tour communication was clear and helpful and heartfelt – I felt as if I knew her before we even arrived in Wellington.
Suzee is so warm and genuine, it felt like being picked up by a friend. We saw so much of the city and its surrounds, learned quite a bit about New Zealand’s history and life in Wellington, took countless pictures and laughed a LOT! Suzee even went halves on lunch with me so I could try two entrees – that’s commitment.
