I'm Asta A., your private tour guide in Dunedin
Guide #25857
Kia Ora! My name is Asta. I am originally from Lithuania but have lived overseas for many years. Our family job situation took us to various places around the world, which gave me the opportunity to travel, to gain irreplaceable experience and master and speak several languages. About 13 years ago, I moved to Dunedin with my husband and 2 sons, and I have been working in the tourism industry ever since I came. I started as a travel consultant at Dunedin Visitor Center, but then I realized I wanted to be more connected with tourists and now I am excited to be a Tour Guide and to share the beauty of Dunedin with travelers from all over the world. From the very first visit, I fell in love with the beauty of New Zealand and especially Dunedin & the Otago Peninsula. This place has so much to offer, such rich heritage, breathtaking scenery and unique wildlife. I love as much as the rest of locals, our extraordinary lifestyle that our small but great city offers. Where else in the world you would drive only 20 minutes from the city to find yourself on a remote beach with unique wildlife? I'm passionate about the outdoors, and in my free time, I go for day-walks, exploring wildlife and nature. I do most of my touring in Dunedin, Coastal Otago. A few years ago, when traveling was on hold I decided to learn something new. I did a few beekeeping courses I have been a proud beekeeper since then. I look forward to meeting you and showing you the best spots of Dunedin - Edinburgh of South - Otepoti! -Bachelor of Education, Bachelor of Teaching -Full (Clean) NZ Drivers Licence Class 1 and Passenger Endorsed -Red Cross First Aid Certificate -Member of the Pro Guides Association of NZ -Department of Conservation approved guide No restrictions

We loved Dunedin! Asta, our guide, was engaging, informative, easy to work with, and made our day wonderful. We were also able to visit the albatross sanctuary and learn about this unusual bird. We are experienced with using private guides and we so enjoyed being with Asta. Many thanks to her for making our tour of this beautiful area a fantastic experience.

We had an awesome tour with Asta. She really knows and loves Dunedin and her enthusiasm was infectious. She was flexible and took us not only to the places that shouldn’t be missed, but also took us to places that she appreciated having lived in and raised a family in the city. She accurately and quickly intuited our interests and our high energy and responded...

Tour was GREAT Asta picked us up on time/as arranged. Took us to all the places as planned. Was very knowledgeable and personable. And friendly and easy to be with. And it was wonderful NOT to have to drive, but just look at the scenery/sights.
