Begin your tour with a convenient pickup from your hotel or cruise ship and set off to explore Dunedin with a local historian. Travel in a comfortable minibus and listen to stories of murder, mystery, and pioneering spirit as you drive through the city.

Start with a drive through the University of Otago and admire the old buildings. Then, head to the Northern Cemetery, a beautiful Victorian cemetery full of lush trees and wrought iron. Hear tales of prisoners, poets, shipwrecks, and notable figures in history like Thomas Bracken, who wrote New Zealand's national anthem.

Next, visit Baldwin Street, the steepest street in the world, before heading to Dunedin Railway Station, the second most photographed building in the Southern Hemisphere. Continue to Queens Gardens, where soldiers lined up before heading to war and thousands gather every year to remember them.

Drive along High Street, where professionals built their consulting rooms, and see the beautiful houses. Then, head to the infamous Devil's Half Acre, an area of town known for its mischief and tragedy.

Stop for lunch at Luna Restaurant and Bar in Roslyn, a quiet place off the typical tourist path with spectacular views. Lunch is not included.

Finally, visit Larnach Castle and take a guided tour through the home of William Larnach and his family before they met their tragic end. After your tour, be taken back to your hotel or cruise ship.
