See Wellington like a local with a morning tour of the city and all its sights. Departing from the Wellington i-SITE, experience the best attractions and must-see landmarks and get off the tourist trail.

&nbsp;

View&nbsp;New Zealand&#39;s Parliament Buildings, including the Beehive, a unique structure that houses the Executive Wing of New Zealand Parliament Buildings. Next, pop into Old Saint Paul&#39;s Cathedral, a wooden Gothic church that&#39;s a popular wedding and event venue with stunning neo-Gothic leadlight windows.

&nbsp;

Get back to nature with a wander around the Wellington Botanic Gardens, established in 1844. It&#39;s a 25-hectare space that has colourful displays, specialised plant collections, and some of the&nbsp;oldest exotic trees in New Zealand.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Then, you&#39;ll have the option to ride the&nbsp;historic Wellington Cable Car (own cost) to the lookout perched above the city. It&#39;s a short, 5-min&nbsp;ride with spectacular views. Finally, enjoy even more views from the top of Mount Victoria as you feel the refreshing breeze in your hair.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Along the way, there&#39;ll be plenty of photo opportunities in and around Wellington City, with&nbsp;personal tour commentary by your&nbsp;local guide.&nbsp;Plus, if you&#39;re not&nbsp;a confident speaker of English, don&#39;t worry &ndash; the Operator has a state-of-the-art multi-lingual commentary system that caters to Chinese Mandarin, Spanish, and Japanese speakers.

&nbsp;

After your morning tour, you&#39;ll have time to purchase lunch (own expense) before taking an afternoon tour of the famous Wētā Workshop.&nbsp;This experience showcases the making of movie effects and props, from armour to weapons, creatures to costumes, make-up to miniatures. Meet your guide at the Wētā Cave store to begin your journey through the movie-magic world of Wētā Workshop!&nbsp;
