Our Nelson-in-a- Day tour was tailored to our interests and was most interesting and great fun. History- both natural and human, sights and views, morning tea and a delicious lunch in the bush was included. We will never forget the Kiwi. More

We only had one day in Nelson, and we were lucky enough that Noel was available to show us around.
