Virginia has many stories to share and is very knowledgeable. Google directions for walking to the start point will lead you astray. Leave lots of time to get to the departure point from the CBD.

This was a great experience. Our guide had great knowledge and was very friendly and welcoming. We decided to try this to give my elderly in-laws a way to explore the gardens. They had such a good time we are thinking of taking them back in spring. My husband and I love to spend time in the gardens, we also benefited from the experience as we gained knowledge of the different areas, the plants and why they are laid out how they are.

It was a very comfortable and enjoyable ride around the gardens, especially as it was raining so we kept dry. The information given was interesting, although at this time of the year most of the focus was on greenery, rather than all the flowers that we have in New Zealand gardens. Still a most enjoyable outing.

Wonderful garden in the cooling air of Autumn, this is my first time coming to the Gardens and it’s a great experience! Recommend to folks who like to enjoy the calming environment of nature. My group booked a mini bus tour to explore the gardens, and it’s enjoyable! The tour is about 30 mins. We had to be at the Visitor’s Centre 15 mins before the tour and unfortunately missed the timing due to delays. As it was our responsibilities to make it for the tour on time, we were not expecting to be able to get a reschedule on the mini bus tour. We are very appreciative and many thanks to Visitor’s Centre staff Carry for the kind understanding and assisting us to reschedule our mini bus tour. Thanks for making the experience a pleasant one and thanks for recommending to grab a coffee to enjoy the tour with.

We booked a garden tour and due to circumstances, we were unable to make it. But the receptionist at the visitor Center, Carry, was incredibly generous and friendly, so he let us be able to join in for the next tour. Thanks to him, we were able to have a great time.

Our guide was Verity and she was very knowledgeable and informative about the plants and trees and told us of it’s history and plans for the future. We covered quite a lot of the grounds from the Visitors centre to the Arid garden.
