Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This tour was recommended by the information center. Tour guide was a local and very knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the city and felt we got a great overview. I definitely recommend this tour and please visit New Zealand when this lockdown is over.

We went on the Great Sight's Wellington City & Bays tour on Sunday 2nd February.
We saw the lovely waterfront, the Wellington Botanic Gardens including the Lady Norwood Rose Gardens amongst other highlights. We also travelled on the cable car which offered fantastic views at the top and must not be missed.
This trip is ideal as an introduction to Wellington.

Nice to hear you had a good time, although I'm not sure if it was our tour you went on, as we don't include a working farm in our city sights. However, we are happy you enjoyed being in Wellington, as that is all that matters. Nga mihi

Our guide Naomi was delightful and informative and patient. We had lots of time to taste at the four wineries, our vegetarian lunch was plentiful and included hot drinks, old drinks and wine. The town of Martinborough is so quaint. And then... we were served dessert! The day ended with a delicious cheese platter and more hot drinks. The short train trip from Wellington to Featherstone only added to the loveliness of the day.

Our Guide Karen was born in Wellington. She was able to spend time pointing to things of interest around the city. I love history and to find out how much of the water front is on reclaimed land surprised me. We took a ride in the cable car up from Lambton Quay to Kelburn at the top of the hill. From there we went down to the Rose gardens a lovely setting with native trees around the gardens. So many of the old houses are built into the hills.. For a small city in area there is a lot to see. The trip is well worth it. The view from Mount Victoria gives you a 360 degree view around the city

We are a group of four on the celebrity solstice in Wellington. From 8 to 6 on Friday April 17th. Can we participate in the wine tour within those time perimeters?

The Pallisers Bay tour that I booked was an all-day guided tour for myself and 3 family members. Therefore, it would not have been possible to have only done the wine tasting portion of the tour, which occurred at the end of the day.
I suggest you e-mail them directly and ask your question. I found them to be extremely friendly and responsive.
Have fun on your trip!

I only did the city and surrounds tour it was a half day tour. The tour company can meet you at the ship. More economical option than ships tours in our experience. The tour company would advise you regarding beer tasting tour times.

Hello Deepa,
We would love to have you join the Hammonds City Sights Tour. They depart at 10am and 2pm daily from the Wellington I-SITE, at the corner of Victoria and Wakefield Street. I suggest you look at the 2pm but have one concern regarding your check in time with the Interislander. Please confirm what time you need to be at the Interislander and we will see what we can do.
Kind Regards,
Robin
