Great way to maximize your time in the Wellington area! Suzee called me in advance to craft a day that best suited our interests and stayed in communication right up to the moment we met up. Jo picked us up just steps from where we got off our NCL ship. My husband and I wanted to spend time at the Southward Car Museum, which was awesome. So Jo dropped us off and took Mom and Sis to visit an arts and crafts gallery and a bit of shopping. Then we all had a lovely lunch at a local bakery before heading off to see the coastal sites as well as the Wellington area. We loved having a resident local show us the area and tell us about life there. Couldn't imagine a better way to spend a day in the Wellington area. We had exactly the experience we wanted at the pace we wanted and with an awesome guide. Suzee and Jo are genuinely good, caring, dependable, and fun people!!
Hi Sam - you were all fun too! I love being able to mix and match what we do to your interests - it means no two tours are the same. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. All the best for your future travel - who knows, maybe we will see you back here again.
If you are visiting Wellington, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Suzee. This was truly one of the highlights of our entire New Zealand trip. Suzee curated the most beautiful, thoughtful day for us, starting with a charming blueberry farm and apple picking experience that felt so peaceful and authentic. From there, we explored lush rainforest landscapes that felt straight out of The Lord of the Rings — including the breathtaking Rivendell filming location, which was absolutely magical to see in person. What made the day so special, though, was Suzee herself. She is warm, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about New Zealand. She shared wonderful insights about the local culture, history, and hidden gems throughout the countryside, all while making the experience feel relaxed and unhurried. The scenery was stunning at every turn, but it was Suzee’s attention to detail and genuine care that elevated this from a great tour to an unforgettable one. Highly, highly recommend — we would book with her again in a heartbeat.
It is such a privilege to hear how people experience us. We do what we do because we love sharing our hometown with guests - it is why we have chosen to keep uTours boutique. We want the fun of connecting with people for ourselves. You guys were just so lovely and trusting of our process while we worked out how we would spend the day. I was so happy when I realised the blueberry farm was open. I'd never seen a blueberry bush before - and then we got to eat blueberries (and apples) straight from the bush (trees). Plus I have to mention the feijoas - it was like we had an unexpected fruit tasting tour :) The bonus of a tour in March, even if it was the last cruise ship of the season :( Thanks for writing such a heartfelt review. I suspect we will meet again. Until then... Thanks for being such fabulous new friends.
I recently booked with UTours for a private, all-day tour for 13 guests. We came in on a cruise ship and wanted to see as much of Wellington and the surrounding area as possible and let me say right now, up front, that UTours was fantastic. From my initial email to them to see what sort of day they could put together for us, to several phone calls with Suzee to make sure we had our itinerary absolutely perfect, I could tell we were going to have a fantastic day before we even arrived. We had two vehicles given the size of our group and we spent a fantastic day exploring sites like the Wind Turbine Lookout, Red Rocks, Breaker Bay, Worser Bay, the famous Weta Workshop , the Parliament Buildings and Old St Paul's church. I'm sure I missed a few other places we saw but you get the point. We absolutely feel like we know Wellington and the surrounding areas. We even had a lunch stop for traditional meat pies at Puku and they were amazing! This was one of Suzee's suggestions and it was quick, cheap, and SUPERB! I can't say enough about our day - all 13 of us unanimously agreed that we loved our time in Wellington. Thank you Suzee!
Thanks JT, we had such a fun day together. I'm so glad you all had a great day and felt cared for, both before and during our tour. Having 13 happy people at the end of your tour is wonderful. It means we met our goals for your tour too - when you only have one day in Wellington, we want you to get a good sense of the city, to connect with a local and to enjoy some locally produced food and drinks. I really enjoyed our connection and am looking forward to your group's next visit :). Until then... Thanks, Suzee
Look no further than uTours for experiencing the Wellington region to the full. Suzee and Jo offer exceptional service to the visitor and we were able to see so much more of the city and the surrounding area thanks to them. Professional, efficient and super friendly, they guaranteed that we got to see as much as possible of the city and the surrounding region in the time available. Highly recommended and every minute was a beautiful memory. A huge thank you to both of you!!
Two days touring with us, two days exploring by yourselves based around our recommendations - totally the best time in Wellington. Our pre-tour planning chat was such fun and we actually got to know each other - no nasty surprises when we met :) I had such a fun time with you all. Thanks for taking the time to write your review too. We really appreciate it. Until next time...
Suzee from utours was wonderful. Knowledgeable and entertaining. Your guide can make or break the day and I Highly recommend using this owners operated company very responsive, excellent communication. Made sure to craft itinerary based on interests and requests of our specific group. Beautiful scenic drive, local spots Very thoughtful. Emailed quickly after booking confirmed regarding options for itinerary. Texted us day before tour so we would have easy access contact if we experienced any issues with meetup. Provided an array of beverages and snacks onboard. Very clean and comfortable vehicle. Fabulous recommendation of non touristy local seafood shop with beach view for lunch that was perfect.
Owner operators - Jo and I still get a buzz hearing that, even after seven years. I'm so glad you all had a fabulous day. Getting you away from the typical touristy spots is what we want for you. We can't always manage it with the 'must see attractions', but the rest of the time, we love taking you to the spots that only locals go to eg our local pie shop. Thanks heaps for taking the time to write your review. We really appreciate it. Until next time... Suzee
Spending the day with Suzee from Utours was a wonderful experience. Would highly recommend using this owner/operator company. She created an itinerary based on what interested us rather than a cookie cutter one size fits all tour. She reached out once booking was placed to be available to craft our day as we wanted. Reached out again close to tour date to check in, make any adjustments. Emailed us day before with detailed information for cruise port pick up texted the day before so we would have her number in phone in case we needed to reach her morning of. Pick up very smooth. Took us to local places, gorgeous scenic drive with stops great fish and chips lunch with beach view. Very engaging personable entertaining guide. Very comfortable vehicle that was very clean. Would def spend another day with Suzee next time we find ourselves in New Zealand
Gail, you have nailed everything that we are about. Throw out the cookie cutter, our day really is all about you. We want people to know what to expect and you have set them up perfectly. Thanks for taking the time to do your glowing review. We really appreciate it. I am so looking forward to your next trip. See you then :)
All we can say is WOW thank you Suzee for making our trip to Wellington the best day EVER! Suzee tailored our day to fit in as much as possible plus some. Wellington was a stop on our cruise and we pretty much got to see everything in 7hrs. This small private company is a most when visiting Wellington. Thank you bunches Suzee for the best day! Your friends from NY Rachael and Clara 😀
Ah, such fun we had... Every tour is different and we went to lots of new places on your tour. So grateful for your trust in me to find the things that you would love. Just cos you are only in town for a day doesn't mean you have to miss out - that's the beauty of what we do. We sure covered some ground together and laughed a huge amount. Thanks for being so fabulous. Until next time...
My wife and I had the most amazing tour of the area and got to see it from a local's perspective. Suzee was so accommodating and informative as we saw areas we wanted to know more about. She took the time to explain the areas to us. Suzee took time to understand us and what was important to us. I really appreciated that. Many tours are so repetitive and seem Step by Step. Suzee could see we wanted an off the script view of Wellington and the area, a feel for life there, and she delivered big time. I know Suzee already knew me enough to realize this review would be late as we built a friendship and understanding during the day. Yes, the reviews of tours typically fall to my wife. We have had amazing tours on this trip and on many of the trips we've taken before but I've never had a guide with Suzee's passion for the area. And I've never made a friend on a tour before. For a great tour where the guide wants to know what you want to see. This is the right choice. Suzee, Thanks for a great day
Wow, my heart feels so full. I had such a lovely day with you both. Your experience of our day is why we do uTours the way we do. We have actively made a decision to keep our business small, flexible and personalised as we want to actually connect with people in the way we connected. Thank you for taking the time to tell others about your experience with us so that they will know what to expect. All the best, Suzee
