About
Xplor Tours operates from Cable Street in Te Aro, right in the heart of Wellington, offering guided walking and outdoor experiences that reveal the city's hidden stories and natural landscapes. What sets them apart is their focus on authentic, locally-led exploration—whether you're discovering Wellington's creative street art scene, walking through lesser-known coastal reserves, or learning the Māori and European history woven through the city's neighbourhoods. With a 4.8-star rating from 72 reviews, they've built a strong reputation for knowledgeable guides who genuinely know their city and connect visitors to places most tourists miss.
Expect small-group experiences that feel more like exploring with a friend than following a tour bus. Most tours run 2–4 hours depending on the theme, and the pace suits everyone from solo travellers to families with older kids. The guides are engaging storytellers who share local insights—the kind of details you won't find in a guidebook. Visitors consistently praise the personal touch and flexibility; if you're curious about something, guides will take time to explain. It's worth booking ahead, especially in peak season, as groups stay intentionally small to maintain quality.
Xplor Tours fits perfectly into a Wellington weekend, whether you're on your first visit or returning. The Cable Street location puts you steps from Te Papa, Civic Square, and the waterfront, so you can easily combine a tour with other city attractions. They're particularly good if you're visiting in spring (September–November) when Wellington's weather cooperates and the city feels most vibrant, but they operate year-round. Many locals recommend them for visitors wanting to understand Wellington beyond the obvious spots.
