Capital Personalised Tours

Fantastic experience: In April my wife and I were in Wellington and had limited time and wanted to see as much of the city as possible. John Barry picked us up at the ferry terminal and took as all around the city adjusting the tour to what we were interested in seeing. He then deposited us at our hotel. The tour was fabulous and achieved exactly what we wanted. I would highly recommend John to anyone wanting a more personalized tour of Wellington.

Fantastic experience: When they say "Personalised," they mean it! We had an absolutely amazing day with Capital Personalised Tours! We chose "Private Martinborough Wine Full Day Tour From Wellington" because our family loves wine, but also because, although we love the Lord of the Rings, my mother has some mobility challenges that can make set tours difficult. However, after our driver, Andrew, met us at the cruise port and learned of our love of all things Tolkien, in addition to the wonderful wine tastings and lunch, he surprised us by taking us to some of the different movie set sights that mom could navigate. He stopped by the Helm's Deep quarry, the Isengard gardens, and we even walked through "Rivendell!" Lunch at Poppies was absolutely AMAZING and we had a wonderful time tasting and exploring the wines of New Zealand. (I'm now a fan of Chardonnay, which I never thought possible.) I just want to say that I can't thank Andrew and John enough for the wonderful experience they provided! We got to see and do things that simply wouldn't be possible with any other tour!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely perfect day sampling wines in and around Martinborough. Our guide, Liz was very knowledgeable and friendly. The perfect host. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in wines or who want to sample Wellingtons best.

Fantastic experience: Had a fantastic Lord of the Rings day trip with my guide Sam! The weather was perfect and we had a very nice meal. Thank you for a great day!

Fantastic experience: Had an amazing full day LOTR tour with John. Very knowledgeable about the franchise, filming production timeline, locations and also Peter Jackson’s other ventures. John also had a great depth in the history of Wellington and its locations, as well as being a ripper bloke! Thanks John!

Fantastic experience: We did a full-day food and booze tour with Kelvin, who was such a great guide! He personalized the tour for us in so many ways and we had such a fun time. I thought the 7-hour duration would feel long but the day flew by. This tour and our time with Kelvin was definitely one of the most memorable parts of our two-week vacation.

Fantastic experience: So professional, knowledgeable, and personable. I would absolutely recommend.

Fantastic experience: Did a private, full day, LOTR tour. Amazing time and John was very friendly and knowledgeable. Great way to see this beautiful city. Taken to Coene's for lunch which was amazing. Weta cave was also awesome to see. Would recommend this tour!

Fantastic experience: We had a great time with John who made the tour a lot more than I expected. The whole tour was super informative and fun from the instant we got in the van. The lead up to the vineyards was even worth the money you pay for. Great knowledge of Welly and greater Wellington areas. Definitely getting John for the craft beer tour next time!

Fantastic experience: My daughter and I visited Wellington last year but as it was only a brief stay, we planned a longer trip this time keen to explore other parts of the city and coastal areas we hadn’t seen. Photographers without a vehicle, it was clear we needed someone to help us explore Wellington properly and Capital Personalised Tours fit the bill perfectly! The tour was informative, great value for money and loads of fun! John was very easy to get along with and was more than happy to work in with all the places we wanted to visit. Communication was fabulous and being picked up and dropped back to our accommodation was a definite bonus. Lunch was provided at a funky restaurant and toilet stops and coffee breaks were provided when necessary. We were so impressed; we actually took a second tour a couple of days later! Had an absolute ball travelling to some of the most awe-inspiring landscape and rugged coastline of Wellington (especially seeing the seal colony) one of the highlights of our month-long tour of NZ! Awesome lunch too – crispy battered fish, chips, salad and a local beer, seated next to a roaring log fire at the Lake Ferry Hotel was divine. Be sure to check out C’est Cheese and all the bookstores at Featherstone – brilliant! Thanks again John, we loved it and will be back again soon for another tour of your beautiful city and coastline.

Fantastic experience: John was great. He personalized our tour to accommodate places we wanted to visit and showed us where a couple places we were going later on in our trip were!

Fantastic experience: Had a beautiful day December 16, 2018 touring Wellington with our guide "Kelvie". He picked us up promptly as scheduled at the port, gave us a grand tour all while telling us about the history of each area that we visited. When I mentioned that my wife raised Honey Bees in the United States he surprised us by stopping at a Honey store in Wellington. We were also treated to a wonderful lunch at a local restaurant. Thank you Capital Personalised Tours and Kelvie for this great experience! Jim Minor

Fantastic experience: John took my wife & I on a private tour of some lovely vineyards in Wellington. Had some nice surprise stops along the way to mix it up, and also on the way back. Was a great day. John is friendly, reliable and good company. Recommend :)

Fantastic experience: On 4 November John picked us up from our hotel in Wellington and took us on a great tour around the wineries in Martinborough in the Wairarapa, just over an hour from Wellington. John was welcoming, flexible with our activities, had a great lunch organised for us at Poppies and his excellent driving made us all feel safe. Thanks John for an awesome, awesome day! Linda, Alison, Justine and Susie.

Fantastic experience: From Rivendell, across the Rimutakas and into Wairarapa wine country John was the best guide! Capital Personalised Tours is a door-to-door all inclusive service that was comfortable, professional and enjoyable. Highly recommended. They go other places to!
