Thanks so much for your review Tory!
Really enjoyed the tour around the Museum and learn more about Welly since I came for the first time and loved the Matiu/Somes island so much! The views are spectacular and such a good adventure!
The tour was very rushed at the Museum. The lady that took us through Was very serious and did not put any humour into at all. Then we went to get our fish and chips and the museum had bugged up with order so got on board ferry without food as it was lunch time was not a good start. Went on ferry to island only to be shut in a room with department of conservation for 15 mins checking bags, pockets etc to see if we had brought mice or rats with us. Stayed on island for 10 mins and promptly caught the next ferry back to get our fish and chips. Sadly thinking this would be a high point was not to be. Fish was shark which was dry and tough to eat. Would not recommend this tour at all if travelling to Wellington.
Hi Theresa, Very sorry to hear of your experience. This is not up to standard, please feel free to call me so we can discus this further. Kind regards, Krystle 04 4710919
Had a very informative time at the museum then took a stroll around the island. Thank you for all the arrangement including yummy fish&chips!
