Reviewed February 9, 2012 NEW

After visiting Wellington on a brief trip before, I was aware that it had a rich history to explore and I really wanted to give Dad a chance to experience what the city had to offer. Jennifer's Sights and Bites walking tour was ideal for an initial introduction to the CBD of Wellington. As you would expect, Jennifer has a... More

“Locals Share Walking Wellington's Attractions”

Reviewed November 14, 2011

Jennifer Looman knows how to make walking a major city's center enjoyable. It was scheduled for moderate walkers and 2+ hours all very manageable even carrying/using the umbrella. Additionally, she gave us an opportunity to rank the displayed four public art pieces--fun. We visited the old University Law Building (all wood), the Beehive-- Wellington's legislative house srrounded by beautiful parks... More

“Highlight of our NZ Trip”

Reviewed November 3, 2011

We arrived only for a day in Wellington aboard Sea Princess Cruise - Jennifer's Sights and Bites Tour made this this highlight of our trip around NZ. We were blown away by Jennifer's enthusiasm, knowledge, anecdotes, and genuine interest in everything! Apparently we 'jagged' a calm day in Wellington and although we had a little drizzle the Buildings, art works... More

“If you have only one day in Wellington you must chose Jennifer as your guide.”

Reviewed March 16, 2011

Let the fun and enthusiastic Jennifer show you this city's wonderful sights. Walking is the best way to see the city center but the outlying areas can be thoroughly enjoyed by car. Splurge on the Luxury Tour if you can, you'll love it! More
