Hello, I’m Tracy – a proud Dunedin local with a deep love for the stunning Otago region I call home. With my intimate knowledge of this beautiful area, I specialise in crafting personalised private tours that cater to your unique interests and preferences. Whether you're drawn to scenic landscapes, rich cultural experiences, or hidden local gems, I can recommend the perfect spots or happily accommodate any specific destinations you have in mind. From exploring the enchanting gardens of Larnach Castle and discovering its fascinating history, to enjoying a delightful high tea in the grand ballroom, I offer experiences that capture the essence of this incredible region. You might also like to visit a local bee farm, where you'll learn about the fascinating world of honey production and its significance. Or perhaps you'd prefer a leisurely day exploring the city’s sights, taking in breathtaking views from one of our many lookouts, followed by a relaxing lunch. In addition to Dunedin, I can also guide you through the wider Otago region, including the picturesque landscapes of Central Otago, Mackenzie Country, and Canterbury. Whatever your vision for the perfect getaway, let's start the conversation and create a tailored experience just for you. Your tour, your way.
