Overview

Join a small-group tour to discover the highlights of Dunedin, the oldest city in New Zealand. Our City Tour is the perfect choice for those who are short on time and seeking a personalized experience. This brief yet insightful tour offers a wonderful introduction to the charm of Dunedin.

Our 2-hour City Tour covers the key highlights of the city, leaving you with plenty of time to enjoy any other activities you may have planned.

Please note, this tour does not include pick-up from Port Chalmers and is therefore not suitable for cruise ship passengers. The tour departs from Dunedin City Centre, just outside the Dunedin Visitor Centre. We may be able to offer pick-up from Port Chalmers for an additional cost on some occasions—please enquire for further details.
