"First City" double-deck bus tour
Your Dunedin experience begins with this one-hour introduction tour to life and times in this 'city of firsts'. Scottish Presbyterian settlers arrived here in 1848 and the incorporation of the City Council in 1865 was the first in New Zealand. Dunedin also lays claim to NZ's first University, first girls' high school, first chocolate factory, first public botanic gardens, first daily newspaper, first cable car public transport, first kerosene street-lighting and first public art gallery. The first telephone call in New Zealand was also made here and we include the world's steepest street, Baldwin St, on the tour. In the 19th century, Dunedin was a progressive and vibrant centre of NZ's commerce, culture and education.
Tour departs from the Visitor Centre, Octagon. A pickup is available from 8.15am for the 9am tour only, all set downs are at the Octagon. The itinerary includes:

Double deck tour plus a guided tour of "Olveston"
This intimate experience of the life of an affluent Dunedin family in the early years of the 20th century perfectly complements your double deck bus tour. In 1904 David Theomin, one of Dunedin's most successful businessmen, commissioned his stately home. Since the death of his daughter Dorothy in 1966, the home has been faithfully preserved under a trust deed. The experience is authentic from the treasures collected during the family's extensive travels to the crockery and cutlery that were used by the family and the kitchen utensils used by the servants.
Disembarking from the double deck bus tour at its halfway point you will be taken on a guided tour of Olveston and then you rejoin the bus on its next circuit to complete your tour.
You can add the Olveston guided tour to the 9am, 1pm or 2:15pm double deck tours.
