Her little stories kept us all enthralled. She was able to re-adjust our tour when time got tight due to our over stays in the wineries. (Sorry Helen). We can highly recommend Silver Cloud Luxury Tours....Best tour we've ever been on.

It was on a very... read more comfortable van for ten people and it was like Helen Waddington the tour company owner and guide was our best friend showing us her home town. Friendly , knowledgeable, great sense of humor and filled with anecdotes about her beloved Wellington. At the end we felt like we really knew Wellington. She even sent us a photo of our ship leaving the harbor sailing past her home.

  The Very Best! - We wanted an intimate private tour that covered a lot of ground during our one precious day in Wellington. Helen of Silver Cloud Tours delivered that and then some! We... read more rode the cable car, saw government buildings, St. Pauls Church, had a delicious lunch at Roxy Theater, took at tour of Weta Studios and finished off with a wonderful visit to Te Papa which Helen personally narrated. We told Helen about our interests (LOTR, Maori culture) and she thoughtfully incorporated that into our itinerary. I have a bad knee and Helen was always there to help me into the van which is super comfortable with captains seats. Helen is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about her home town of Wellington and kept us entertained and comfortable the whole time. After the tour was over Helen followed up that night with emails about things we might be interested in. We have been on quite a few private tours and Silver Cloud ranked up there with the best ever. Honestly we felt like Helen was a good friend rather than a tour guide. Prices are very reasonable for what you get too. Don't hesitate, book with Silver Cloud Luxury Tours!

  Martinborough in one day - We had one day in Wellington on a cruise ship and wanted to maximize our day visiting wineries in Martinborough. We were lucky enough to find Helen with Silver Cloud... read more and it was a perfect day!!! She's incredibly informative about the wine industry in general having grown up around it and her passion and knowledge truly made the day a perfect 10. She helped us pick the best wineries to explore and peppered the day with great stories about the history of the area and personal anecdotes that really made it more special. We saw a larger group from our ship coming in to one of the stops and they didn't get a quarter of the special attention and experience that we did. Due to bad weather our port visit was delayed by a day and on very short notice Helen made changes to accommodate our group which really blew us away. If you're considering a tour here (wine related or otherwise) there is no better hostess!

  A Marvelous Day of Discovery - My wife and I spent yesterday with Helen, touring Martinborough wineries, visiting Kaitoke Regional Park, making a couple of important LOTR pilgrimages and learning a lot about the history and... read more culture of Aotearoa.

Helen succeeded in delivering a most memorable day for us in this beautiful country. Highly, highly recommended!
