- The ranking of tours, activities, and experiences available on Tripadvisor is determined by several factors including the revenue generated by Tripadvisor from these bookings, the frequency of user clicks, and the volume and quality of customer reviews. Occasionally, newly listed offerings may be prioritized and appear higher in the list. The specific placement of these new listings may vary.
We perform checks on reviews.
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.

What travellers are saying
- downinglemur24Greater Adelaide, Australia45 contributionsA group of five of us did a private shore excursion of Dunedin with Claudia as our tour guide. Claudia was fantastic and showed us some amazing sights. She was fun and very informative and we managed to beat the crowds at all the locations which included the steepest street and the botanic gardens and Lannarch castle and the Penguin place and Dunedin sights and the railway station. We were back at the ship in a timely manner. All our tickets were organised for us.
A bag was left in the mini van and Claudia promptly answered the call and was able to return the backpack before boarding of the ship.

Lucy was a great guide and she was very knowledgable. She showed us Dunedin city centre including the station, steepest street and the university then we headed out into the countryside. It was a very informative trip. We went to Larnach castle for lunch and the views from the gardens were spectacular. We then moved on to AllanWritten 30 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- ryoung777713 contributionsDunedin tour was nice, the Dunedin railway station architecture is magnificent. We walked up Baldwin Street the steepest street in the world. Toured the city with historical architecture. The Larnach Castle has a surprise history from original construction to total abandonment to reconstruction continuing present day. The gardens and views are also worthwhile.Written 2 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- springcherrySydney, Australia157 contributionsWith limited time in Dunedin (cruise ship) my husband and I would recommend this tour. Therese was our driver and guide for this very informative and thorough tour of Dunedin and it's environs. Her knowledge of the area was extensive and her passion was evident. The minivan we travelled in with Therese was a bit tight in the back seat for four adults. The countryside was picturesque and there were ample stops for photos. Therese kindly made a quick stop for us to grab some lunch to eat before our tour at the penguin reserve started. We really enjoyed visiting the penguin reserve and rehabilitation area. Saskia took us on a tour of the reserve which was a very scenic coastal location. We are glad we chose to spend our day sightseeing in Dunedin with Therese and Fantail Tours.Written 12 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It would definitely book another tour with Russ and highly recommended his tours to others.Written 30 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- M EColumbus, OH23 contributionsMy family and I had a wonderful day with Asta, our tour guide. Asta picked us up at our hotel, gave us a wonderful tour of the city and was very knowledgeable about the history of the city, NZ, and local flora and wildlife. She showed us some real gems of the city - including beautiful gardens and breath taking views of the ocean. We really had a great time trekking up the steepest road, exploring the area, and watching and learning about the wildlife. Thank you Asta! And thank you, Fantail Tours!!Written 18 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- GrandTour209540219545 contributionsFantastic tour! We saw heaps of penguins very close up, they were so sweet. The tour was well organised, there was plenty of time for penguin viewing, and the staff were passionate about the birds. The tours are run by a charity and the proceeds support the conservation work done to look after the penguins.Written 3 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
