Saturday 29th April
Wellington Arts, Food and Culture Walking Tour, $270
Includes senior guide, morning coffee, lunch and food tastings.
Excludes any additional beverage or food purchases and the tour of parliament.

This Central Wellington tour starts with the story of Maori arrival on the waterfront and ends at New Zealand’s current Houses of Parliament, visiting many famous inner city sights on route.

Along the way, we’ll discover hidden lanes packed with foodie delights and a bustling heritage precinct, oozing with cool, local vibe.  The tour will make its way to the Karaka Café at Wharewaka on the waterfront, where the group will have lunch.  After lunch, the tour will focus on the history, geology, architecture and political aspects of Wellington.

The tour ends at Parliament, where participants may take the opportunity to join an Introducing Parliament Tour.  This is not included as part of this package but is highly recommended.

This experience requires participants to walk 3-5 kilometres along paved streets and formed paths.  It is an easy, predominantly flat, walk.  However, this tour is not suitable for people with mobility issues or serious health conditions. Some access paths around venues we will be visiting are uneven and can be slippery when wet, so care is required.

This tour will proceed regardless of the weather, so participants are advised to check the forecast and dress appropriately for the conditions. Sunscreen and sunglasses are strongly recommended.

Comfortable footwear and clothing (including a light waterproof jacket and sunhat) are strongly recommended. Stiletto heels are not suitable for this tour.

Cameras are welcome, but may not be permitted at some venues.
