This quaint one-hour tour around the historic town of Russell will melt your heart and have you wanting to stay much longer. Russell was the first settlement site for early Europeans arriving in New Zealand, and in stark contrast to the beautiful spot it now is, it used to be known as the 'Hell Hole of the Pacific' on account of the lawless trading that went on in its past. On this tour your knowledgeable guide will inform you about the various historical sites of Pompallier House, Christ Church, Flagstaff Hill and New Zealand's oldest pub - now the Duke of Marlborough Hotel. A must-do tour for any visitor to the region.
