Xmas will soon be upon us, followed by New Year. This, of course, is summer in New Zealand, the time when most Kiwis take a well-earned break. It’s also the time when internationals flock to New Zealand and tour operators here get busy.

Though City Walks will operate throughout the summer, we will take a few days off over Christmas and again at New Year. Please see below:

City Walks will not offer regular tours 25-28 December (inclusive), nor 1-6 January (inclusive). We will, of course, lead special tours that we’ve already undertaken to lead during this period.

Normal tour service resumes Wednesday, 7 January.

There’s still time to walk with us this December. Contact us to reserve space, or enquire at the Dunedin i-Site.

Merry Xmas!
