Tour description
Wellington is New Zealand's capital, a compact and creative harbour city famous for its café culture, film industry and windswept charm. Squeezed between hills and the sea, it is one of the most walkable and cultured capitals in the world. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its character and creativity.
You will stroll the lively waterfront, wander the bohemian Cuba Street, and hear about the city's role as the home of New Zealand's parliament and its world-famous film industry. Along the way you will discover the coffee culture and creative spirit that define 'Windy Welly'. Compact and characterful, Wellington is a delightful city to explore on foot.
