"The Castle Cruiser" is Dunedin's premier transport and guided tour to New Zealand's only Castle, Larnach Castle.Our vehicle - "The Eliza Jane" (named after Larnach's beloved first wife)- is a 13 seater luxury bus. Air-conditioned "she" has leather reclining seats, DVD player, stereo, individual headphones, drinks fridge, as well as facilities to provide full driver commentary.This vehicle is regarded as the best fit out to a bus in NZ at the time it was completed, some 5 years ago and as such exudes class.Our tour is 3 hours duration, the longest and includes a comprehensive city sights tour before going to the castle itself.A full historical commentary is given en route which is complemented by spectacular Otago Peninsula views.Castle and Gardens entry are included as is a fully guided tour of the rooms that are open to the public.This tour is a not to be missed Dunedin attraction and makes the Larnach Castle experience even more worthwhile given you get to know the full history, drama and tragedy that beset the castles original owner, William Larnach and his family.We also have Combo Tours that provide excellent value for money and will make your Dunedin experience one to both "save-or" and remember!
