I'm Suzee W., your private tour guide in Wellington
Guide #71075
Connect with a kiwi – My name is Suzee & I’m a very grateful Wellington tour guide. Ever wished you had a friend in the city you were visiting, well, that’s me. I help you make the most of your time in Wellington, connecting you with local places & stories that will be meaningful for you. As an artist & passionate Wellingtonian, I listen to people & their stories. I laugh a lot, am naturally curious and keen to make a difference. I have been a private tour guide since 2017 (lucky for me), showcasing Wellington to visitors who wish to experience our fabulous city from an insider’s perspective. I am the owner/operator of a small boutique Wellington tour company with Jo D (since 2017). Pick up & drop off at your ship, accommodation or the airport is available. A bit about me - Wellington is my home. I arrived in Wellington in nappies (diapers, if you are from the US) at 6 months old. Other than six years living in the UK, I have been lucky enough to live in Wellington my whole life. I am a passionate traveller, having visited Scandinavia, Europe, UK, Ireland, US, Canada, Australia, Singapore, Rarotonga & Bali. A lifetime highlight is seeing the entire night sky moving in green waves in Iceland. A qualified social worker, researcher & artist, I love having conversations about life, living in Wellington, travel, dogs and any other fabulous topics that typically come up at an entertaining dinner party. You can safely take me to most places 😊. What to expect: • Great communication from initial contact right through to tour day. • We will have fun, laugh lots, swap stories and get to know each other. By the end of the day, you will have a sense of the city and what it is like to live here. • I will introduce you to the history, the people, the architecture & geography, the food & drink, the beaches and most probably, our infamous wind, a defining feature of Windy Wellington. Tour guiding is my happy place - I must be doing something right as we have more than 140 five-star reviews on TripAdvisor, and over 40 five-star reviews on Google. Do you have five or more people travelling together? Please message me. Together we can create a fun and fabulous day for all your friends and family. If I am unavailable, please check out Jo D, as I know she will also give you fabulous day out. Once you have booked, I’ll get in touch. And, if you would like, I can give you a call to talk through our day together. Together we will customize your tour to create your unique Wellington day out. Get in touch to find your Wellington for a day.

A super tour around Wellington and the local suburbs and towns to the north. In spite of scattered rain showers all day, we had a great visit to the rugged south coast which was particularly scenic and stormy - a perfect time to see it. Then a nice drive up the west coast for a delightful lunch at a super new waterfront restaurant and then more and awesome scenery. We...

Thank you for taking the time to write a review of our wonderful day together. Wellington really is stunning, even in a storm. Being able to pivot to change is something I am good at. I love that you trusted me enough to let me make some new itinerary recommendations that better suited the weather - Wellington sure put on a stunning show for you. And nothing beats eating...

We had a great day with our guide Suzee, who picked us up from our hotel. She tailored the tour to our personal preferences and also around the weather conditions. In the morning when the cloud level was low we spent time in the city and in the afternoon when it was sunnier and the visibility improved we went to viewpoints and the nearby coast. Just some of the places we...

Thank you K for your wonderful review. Local knowledge and flexibility is so important when managing a wet day :) I really enjoyed our real conversation, laughter and your appreciation of my local food recommendations. When your time in a city is short, I focus in on what is important to you - I loved T's response to the feel of Old St Paul's Cathedral. All the best for...

Suzee was exceptional! We were a party of three; myself, my husband, and our adult son. We booked an all-day tour. Suzee was on time and delivered as agreed. . Suzee had great communication on the day of the tour and also arranged a phone call a month or so out to discuss the tour. She listened to our requests and provided a personalized experience based on those...

Thank you so much K, I had a wonderful time with you all too. It was a delight to be a part of your family for the day. I loved having the opportunity to talk with you all. I learnt a lot from W too, it was two way :) When I travel, I want to connect with what it is like to live in that country - you guys made it easy to do that for you all. I'm glad our local food was...
