Wonderful guide and tour! - A beautiful drive through the mountains to wine and cheese tasting and then chocolate tasting. It was all delicious. Athena was an amazing guide. We had a great overview of the history and she was very accommodating.

Gary's the G.O.A.T! - We were lucky to have the whole tour to ourselves and got a lovely tour guide, Gary. Gary told us lots of stories about the city and the Martinborough region, which was super educational since it was our first trip to Wellington. Gary even helped us replan our tour and took us to a winery that totally didn't disappoint. We ended up buying a couple of bottles to enjoy for the rest of our NZ trip. Highly recommended!

Great half day tour - Having been to Wellington before, I was looking to do something beyond the city and this half day foodie tour was perfect. Three stops on the tour in three different towns to visit a cheese shop, chocolate shop and winery. Tasting at the chocolate shop was especially fun. Phil was a great guide, very knowledgeable and friendly. He’s thought of everything on this tour, including providing reusable cups for coffee and sick bags for those windy roads. If I’m back in Wellington again, I’ll make sure to go on the full day tour!

Amazing Hosts that go out of thier way to ensure your pleasure. - I booked this at 930 pm the night before I wanted to go and there was no availability so I was tagged along with a full day tour and picked up and returned to Wellington that afternoon. This was over and above expectations. The tour was amazing Cheese tasting good Chocolate blind tastings so good and a whole lot of fun. Wine tasting at Poppies the best and my cheese platter OMG it was next level delishiousness. I have lost my card to order from Poppies so if you could send it yo me ehen you see this review that would be amazing.... Totally recommend this trip...

100/10 recommend! - We booked this tour a day before and were a little worried if it would still take place. But as soon as we good an email about the trip and all the information everything went smoothly. Phil picked us up in front of the hotel and guided us all around. Such a beautiful and educational experience with personal touch and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Great day out - I had such a great day out and I appreciate this company’s flexibility in making the day happen for me. The stops are great - the guessing game at Schoc chocolates is a highlight and Poppies’ cheese platter was outrageously good. As are the wines, and I happily bought a glass to go with my cheese platter. The commentary is amusing and thoughtful. Was nice to get out of the city for the day and visit some smaller towns. I really rated this day tour. Thanks!

Foodie… not so much - Not a real ‘foodie’ tour. Food included is only a cheese plate at Moy Hall winery and chocolate tasting at Schoc Chocolate
