Te Papa Guided Tour, Wellington NZ

We were so glad we took the guided tour as there was so much to see. Christine gave us a brief overview of each section and some really great info that we wouldn't have learned on our own. Then you have 48 hours to go back and explore. There is so much to see breaking it into 2 visits was good. Got a great deal through bookme. Must see!

Excellent Tour

Great museum and the tour was very nice to familiarize with the different exhibitions before exploring by yourself.

Regarding ticket

I'm a bit disappointed with my experience at Te Papa Museum in Wellington. I booked and paid $60 for an online ticket, but when I arrived, I found out that as a resident or visa holder, entry is actually free. I think it's essential for museums to clearly communicate their admission policies to avoid confusion. Despite the ticket mix-up, I enjoyed the museum's exhibitions, particularly the ones showcasing Maori culture and history. The guided tours were informative and engaging, providing valuable insights into New Zealand's rich heritage.
