I joined the Te Papa Highlights in Mandarin tour today and absolutely loved the experience! It was a fantastic way to explore the stories behind New Zealand’s land, people, culture, art, and history—all delivered in fluent, engaging Mandarin. Our guide, WenBin, was incredible. He was warm, professional, and so knowledgeable—not just about the museum itself, but also about native birds, planets, politics, and Aotearoa’s rich history. You could tell he genuinely loves sharing knowledge and connecting with people. I left feeling both inspired and a little smarter! If I had one wish—it would be for a longer tour! The 60 minutes went by far too quickly. I’d love to see a 90-minute version offered in the future, or I might just book a private tour next time with friends to dive in even deeper. Highly recommend this for anyone who speaks Mandarin and wants to experience Te Papa in a deeper, more meaningful way! If you do not speak Mandarin, no worries! I am sure the English introduction tour would be as great as the Mandarin tour. Te Papa does have a great team here to offer fantastic opportunities to both domestic and international visitors an unforgettable experience. No wonder it is ranked #1 via TripAdvisor Award 2025

The 1 hour tour is well worth the price. It gives a great overview of what the museum has, and provides deeper insight into many of the exhibits.

The content of the museum is varied and set out in a spacious building. It never felt crowded on the visit. Staff are friendly and informative. Tip we received: don’t bother with top floor, it’s just old pottery. Would recommend for a half day visit.
