Zozo Travel - Tours of Wellington. Scenic, Winery, Brewery and Foodie Tours

Fantastic experience: We booked the half day beer tour and highly recommend it! The stops were eclectic and the beers were well done. Phil was a fantastic host and cricket tutor! He understood his guest preferences and tailored the tour accordingly. Professional; great communication - would definitely book with them again!

Fantastic experience: Completed the Wairarapa Wine/Cheese/Chocolate tour today. Tour guide Simon was a very careful and considerate driver. He gave a great commentary on the history of the area and the wine growing industry. We visited 3 wineries in Martinborough and had a great lunch at Moy Hall. Then on to Greytown for chocolate tasting and to Featherston for cheese tasting. A thoroughly great experience!

Fantastic experience: My Family and I chose the Wine and Wild Coast Tour, with Phil being our awesome guide for the day. Knowledgeable at the places he brought us to and looks outs for his clients!! A MUST AND WORTH every penny!!

Fantastic experience: We went on the Wairarapa Foodie Tour, tantalize your taste buds! - Full Day Private Tour. It was fun and educational. Philip was our guide and was very informative and fun! We tend to ask questions-sometimes off the wall-and Philip rolled with it! You could tell Philip built relationships with the owners of the locations we stopped at. He also had alternative options just in case we weren’t up for say the craft beer tastings and took us to a winery instead. We also loved the fact he supported the smaller businesses-as we are small business owners and always try to support them wherever we go. From the cheese to the wine and fabulous lunch at the winery to the olive oil tastings and dare I say chocolate tastings (I am personally not a chocolate eater but the tastings were fun) we enjoyed the day, the conversation and the company. I don’t think you can go wrong with a group tour either-as we wound up running into the group tour at each location and it made for some fun times! Thank you Philip-we truly enjoyed ourselves!

Fantastic experience: Phil was such a lovely guide on our 10-hour tour. Our whirlwind tour is best for those who don't have too much time in the city but want to see the highlights - we stopped at a few national parks (LOTR film sites!), had lunch + tasting at a lovely boutique winery, spotted some seals, stopped at the cape, climbed up a lighthouse, and ended the day at Royal Hotel with a beautiful dinner. the small and intimate group also added to the experience. 20/10 recommend just for Phil's witty comments.

Fantastic experience: We had an absolutely fabulous time on on our wine tour with Zozo Travel last month and especially with Philip as our guide. He was quite knowledgeable about the region and the wines we tasted. It was a last minute booking for us and turned out to be one of the best decisions of our time in New Zealand.

Fantastic experience: Booked the half day Martinborough food tour and value for my money. Our tour guide Phil was knowledgeable and entertaining. Among the 3 tasting stops, my favorite would be the artisan chocolate store. Will definitely recommend to my friends and relatives if they decided to check out Wellington. Keep up the good work!

Fantastic experience: Oliver was a great guide! We also had a fun group of people from all over the world in our van. It was a really fun day. The lunch spot we stopped at was an unexpected surprise. There were only a few choices of tapas-style dishes so our expectations might have been a bit low, but the food was exquisite! The presentation was beautiful and everything was super delicious. Everyone in our group commented about how much they liked the food. The "cheese" part of the tour was a bit underwhelming, but everything else was great. Oliver gave us a good variety of different wines for our three tastings and he was very knowledgeable about the area and the history of NZ as well. Recommended!

Fantastic experience: It was a great ladies day out, our host (Jewish chap) was very friendly and knowledgeable of the area. He made an extra effort for one of the other tourists from Australia who had come all this way to visit her great grandmother's birthplace in Greytown. This just made her day and ticked an important piece of history off her bucket list.

Fantastic experience: The Cave to Coast Wellington Highlights Tour. What a great experience. Tour guide Michael made the tour entertaining and fun. It’s a was a day fully interesting sights and local history. I can highly recommend this tour.

Fantastic experience: We thoroughly enjoyed the Zozo experience from beginning to end. The booking was quick and any information we needed was met with timely responses, allowing us to make our decision without effort. Payments were easy and the communication was exactly as anyone should expect. On the day of our excursion, we were picked up on time in a clean vehicle. Our driver for the day was very communicative, great company and very knowledged about the region. Martinborough was such a beautiful little town and the Poppies and Moy Hall great. Our favourite was Moy Hall - it has such a wonderful ambience. The food at Poppies was delicious. B Wine was somewhat 'rustic' and didn't have the feel of a true winery - as we sat on old chairs in knee length grass outside a hut, listening to the dulcet tones of a lawn mower, however the wine was nice. I would certainly book again for a whole day tour, particularly to spend more time at other wineries and ensure we could have time to ensure we could walk around the little town of Martinborough!

Fantastic experience: I’m really happy with Zozo’s services. I found it is a very responsive operator, and all my doubts prior to the trip to set he pickup details were answered in great timing. This was valuable and helpful to me because I did the tour alone and I felt safe, plus, reinforced that I made a very good decision choosing this company. Phil, our tour guide, is a lovely person and highly knowledgeable about his matter. He made our experience very fun, interesting and unforgettable. PS: I did the half day wine tour, from 10 am to 3 pm. Hotel pick up and drop off. We had great time to enjoy every activity we were doing. Great selection of places to visit. Many thanks! Ceci

Fantastic experience: Been meaning to write this review for a while, sorry for the delay! Me and my partner visited in June for his birthday. We did the Craft brewery tour, it was intimate, relaxed and we got to try many different ales from a a variety of breweries. As it was just us, Phil was flexible with the tour and catered it to what we wanted. We enjoyed it so much we joined the vineyard tour the next day. This was a lot of fun and a beautiful scenic tour with lovely people. Thanks again Phil, we appreciate your hospitality.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic tour with a great combination of delicious food/wine paired with amazing views and sights. Highlights were the ocean views and seals. Phil was also a very knowledgeable and amazing guide.

Fantastic experience: Thank you Phil . I must say, I was not sure what I was getting myself into. You made the trip just so awesome, your knowledge about locations and wines just made everything interesting. It was a stressfree mini trip that I want to do again. The wines were just so delicious and well presented to us.

Fantastic experience: Just had an amazing Winery Tour through Martinborough with Phil! Excellent tour guide, so knowledgeable and awesome to talk to. Started at B.Wine, so picturesque, best shared lunch and tasting at Moy Hall, gorgeous reds at Muir Lea Rise! Ended with a visit to C'est Cheese mmmmm Thanks Phil!! Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Excellent, well managed tour with Phil. Loved the cheese, winery, food, olive oil and chocolate at local businesses. It was a full and very enjoyable day.

Fantastic experience: Booked a half day wine tour to Martinborough with Phil as driver and host. He brought the group together and entertained and educated us. His choices of wineries and the structure of the tour were outstanding - highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Phil, our tour guide was absolutely phenomenal! He was so knowledgeable and clearly had a passion for all areas where this tour goes. He made sure to get to know us and made the tour very specific to our interests- choosing a winery that suited our taste- my partner loves his red wines and Phil catered for this! We were in Wellington for a short period and this tour gave us an opportunity to see the surrounding areas without hiring a car and get a taste of the three most important things in life: cheese, chocolate and wine! We would definitely be back to Wellington and will be contacting Phil for another tour- his full day tour sounds amazing!! Thanks you so much!

Fantastic experience: Fun day out with Phil on the half day martinbourgh wine tour! Lunch at Moy Hall wines was delicious! Great choice of wineries Phil will take you to. Highly recommend it! Easy travel as he picked us up from our motel

Fantastic experience: Must do tour. The tour was amazing, the wine was amazing and so are the cheese and chocolate. Phil was great. So much information. Next time I'm in Wellington I'm going again.

Fantastic experience: Honestly this was the best experience, as a beginner to wine it really was enjoyable and gave me an idea of what wines I liked. So even if you know nothing of wine it’s definitely worth it. Also our tour guide was super nice and knowledgeable

Fantastic experience: Had an amazing time and leant lots. Met so many lovely people who showcased their products very well. Phil was an excellent tour guide and it was really well organized. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Phil was a great host. Very personable, and explained a lot of history around Wellington. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Had a great day out with Phillip on the Wine and Wild Coast tour. The day contains a great mix of activities, of course the winery’s of Martinborough were the main draw card, and they didn’t disappoint. The food at Moy Hall was also fantastic. Heading to the coast to check out the seal colony and then onto climb the steps the Cape Palliser Lighthouse was a great way to then feel like we had earned the massive feed of Lake Ferry Hotel’s famous fish and chips for dinner. Phil was knowledgeable, accomodating and well organised. The pick up and drop off to our hotel made the tour extremely easy to access as the only then we needed to remember was to take a jacket for the windy west coast. The trip is a great way to enjoy good food, good wines, and a mix of great sights across the bottom of NZ’s North Island

Fantastic experience: Thoroughly enjoyed our time! John was such a great tour guide and great company in general! Definitely would do it again!

Fantastic experience: Such a great trip! Phil at Zozo is really knowledgeable about the region and is such a fun host. The vineyards we visited were amazing and well worth the visit! Highly recommend Zozo and a trip to Martinborough!

Fantastic experience: Wine & Wild Coast Tour with Phillip the owner was simply one of the best tours we have done! He picked us up right from the Wellington port and we had a 10 hour tour with him seeing a good part of the southern eastern coast of the North Island. We drove through the countryside of New Zealand and visited a winery vineyard and ate at their fabulous restaurant Poppies in Martinborough! It was very very good and the surrounding area was beautiful! We visited the Rimutaka crossing and took a short hike over a swinging bridge to see some birds and nature reserve. We also visited the beautiful Putnanguira Scenic Reserve. We stopped by a cheeseshop, and chocolate shop where we did some sampling and taste testing. Then he drove us to the fur seal colony where we were able to spend time observing the seals in their natural habitat. Onto the Cape Palliser lighthouse to climb all 252 steps to the top! We ended the tour with a very nice dinner at The Royal Hotel’s Brac and Bow in Featherston! All in all it was a great trip which I highly recommend and the van Phillip picked us up in was extremely comfortable and he was very accommodating to stop and let me get any pictures I had wanted to get along the way. This was a very very pretty drive around the southern coast of New Zealand! Thanks Phil for the best Wellington trip for our family!

Fantastic experience: We had a great day with Phil on the "Wild coast and wine tasting" tour - we had a spare day around a work visit to New Zealand and this was a great way to experience a wide range of different things in a short space of time! Phil is a knowledgeable and passionate guide across the many different aspects of the tour - equal parts historian, cultural guide and sommelier, and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole day. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Three of us joined this wine tour. It couldn’t have been a nicer day. The weather was perfect, and we definitely enjoyed the entire trip. We went to three local wineries and a cheese shop. The tasting was good and the stories shared by our tour guide Mel and winery owners were impressive as well. Highly recommend if you come to visit Wellington.

Fantastic experience: Had a great time on the half day wine tour. Phil was a great guide who helped educate us on Wellington and Wairarapa hot spots and the award winning wines. Would recommend.

Fantastic experience: We did a half day tour and had a great time with Phil! We went to 3 wineries and made some scenic stops along the way. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Brilliant food tour - highly recommended Our local guide, Phil, was outstanding. We visited variety of different food stores including a coffee roaster, a chocolatier, an Italian restaurant, a Cypriot family cheese shop and a boutique brewery. It was a good variety of different foods to sample with the opportunity to purchase some great local produce. Each place had high quality food and plenty to eat and drink. We would do it again and highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves to sample locally produced New Zealand food.

Fantastic experience: We had a great half day Wine tour with Phil! Delicious wines, cheese, chocolate and even Gin! Phil is a very knowledgeable guide and makes sure you’re having a good time. Booking up front was very easy. Would def. recommend!

Fantastic experience: That was one of the best tour we took in NZ. Phil is passionate about what he is doing so we enjoyed every bit of the tour, we learned a lot and it was very informative we had nice wine, good food and great conversation. We saw breathtaking scenery. I recommend this tour to everyone :) keep a good work Phil and hope to see you soon for the foodie tour :)

Fantastic experience: My wife & I went on the 1/2-day (5 hr) Martinborough winery tour, and we really enjoyed ourselves. Phil is an engaging tour guide - we had fun learning a bit about the history of the region, and especially sampling the various creations of the three vinyards we visited. PS - 3 vinyards was just right - more would have been too much. We look forward to taking another tour with Zozo sometime in future.

Fantastic experience: Awesome day out with Phil from Zozo travel- we booked the “wild coast & wine” tour- absolutely stunning scenery - Phil picked some great spots for cheese, chocolate & wine tasting along the way and provided informative & relaxed commentary throughout the day; top guy - great company; thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience as much as possible of this beautiful part of the world in a single day; Thank you, Phil ,for fantastic day !!!
