Just wanted to pass on our feedback from our Zest Food Tour with Fabs. It was great, awesome, wonderful… all the way through. Of course, it was extra special since it was just for the 2 of us, but we really had a great time with her as our tour guide! There were a lot of insights into Wellington, which... More

Great tour. Not at all like the description of the tour. First we had a tour of downtown wellington then to the food tastings. The guide was great! Very enthusiastic, personable and knowledgeable. The laid back competition during the tour added a lot of fun to the day. Very enjoyable tour. I would highly recommend it! My tour date was... More

I am a Wellingtonian and thought I knew a lot about my city.... but the food tour showed me more. I shouted a good overseas friend a tour and we had a great time. fantastic food at Moore Wilson and we are fussy people. Coffee at Mojo was the nicest i have had in ages. the 5 bean blend was... More

We just did the tour around Wellington and it was terrible. 6 of us went along and we were the only people in the group. The tour was 4 hours long and we were met by a German lady who didn't really know very much about Wellington but we thought that didn't matter too much as we were there for... More

Thank you for your review, we are really disappointed and sorry to hear that this was not a good experience for you. However this review has some inaccuracies and we feel strongly this the rating is completely unjustified, and so we do need to respond in detail. We believe that this accurately reflects on the description of our Capital Tastes... More

We did a morning capital tastes tour which was excellent. Everything from coffee roasting, chocolates, cheese, honey and a gourmet market was included. A great introduction to food and restaurants in Wellington with a guided tour of the waterfront district included. Recommend very highly.

We did the Capital Tastes tour, and did not regret a moment! We had an excellent guide (I think her name was Annette and she was originally from Germany). We visited places, tasted coffee, chocolates, honey and cheeses, and found out things about Wellington that we would not have otherwise been able to. This is a tour with a difference,... More

Upon hearing how food-centric Wellington was, I thought it most appropriate to do a walking food tour....and what a rewarding decision that was! Catherine (Cath) met us in the morning for a most inspiring tour of Wellington. We started at the Mojo Coffee warehouse where me met Lambros the coffee roaster himself and had our own private tasting (uuuummm cooool!!).... More

If you like food, even just a little bit, can cope with a gentle amble around the flatter bits of Wellington then you will enjoy this half day tour which finishes with a tasting lunch at Logan Brown - which is everything it is cracked up to be! We had a great guide, relaxed and lowkey - thanks Chrissy! Plenty... More

I went on this tour in February 2010 and I really enjoyed myself. The Tour Guide, Kirsten, was extremely knowledgeable and gave us so much information. Write things down when you go so that if there's something that the guide suggest that isn't on the tour, you can return there (there's an amazing chocolatrie that's not on the tour, but... More
