We were scheduled for this Shore Excursion Nov 2022. On arrival at the port, the very helpful volunteers at the Port Chalmers Welcome center told us 'oh, those folks didn't come yesterday for their tour, I don't think they are coming today.' She made a call and indeed, they were not coming. Only later, when accessing WIFI did we see an email telling us the trip was canceled. Fortunately our helper, Betty, found us a comparable local tour (Rob and Holly, with water taxi and van, that gave us nearly the same experience.

Our driver was great - very knowledgeable and super nice. He is a local so has history in Dunedin and surrounding area. Bus very comfortable and well maintained. Castle is awesome - gardens and gounds beautiful and extensive, castle is awesome with a very interesting history. Glad someone is restoring and maintaining the place. The Chinese gardens and museum are a miss - very small and not really that interesting. Go for the castle and viewing of the Train station!
