5.00I went on this tour solo during cruise ship stop in Wellington. I could not have been happier about my choice in tours. The day was amazing - filled with beautiful views, lots of education about the city and surrounding areas, and a great lunch. Gary was the best tour guide!! Thank you so much!

5.00Great day today with Steve who took us all around the harbour of Wellington. Super viewing points for great photo opportunities of the city & Cook Straits. As a born & bred Wellington dweller it was great to hear about Wellington's history,wildlife & daily life. Although we did not stop for lunch at Chocolate Fish Restaurant we had super lunch in another local restaurant. Very delicious. Took cable car to top & walked back down through botanical gardens where Steve was waiting for us. Very accommodating and numerous guide. Thank you

5.00A lovely way to see highlights of Wellington in a privite care with fantastic guide Athina. Athina was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of background and history of Wellington while viewing the sites. Stopped off for a wonderful cafe called Chocolate Fish and enjoyed an excellent meal which was included in the tour price. I can thoroughly recommend this short (5hrs) tour.
Fantastic day out!

5.00Great tour, beautiful views, excellent lunch! Phill is a great tour guide and a driver! Have visited all the area from coast to coast. Perfect for anyone to explore the Windy City and beyond! Lunch was the best I ever had on any tours, at the historic Chocolate Fish caffe, that unfortunately will be closing by Christmas. Glad I found this tour! Thank you Phill!

5.00We joined the From Cave to Coast Wellington Highlights Tour with Zozo Travel on October 16, 2025, and had an amazing experience. We happened to be the only two guests that day, so it felt like a private tour. Our guide Phil was outstanding - an excellent communicator with deep local knowledge about Wellington’s history, nature, and culture. We visited a mix of iconic sights and hidden gems, from scenic coastlines to charming neighborhoods, all at a comfortable pace. The tour was well-organized, relaxing, and gave us a real feel for what makes Wellington special. We’ll definitely book their Martinborough Wine Tour next time we’re back in New Zealand! Highly recommend Zozo Travel to anyone looking for a personalized, high-quality Wellington day tour with a knowledgeable local guide.
A great introduction to Wellington for the uninitiated!

5.00This tour took in plenty of the Wellington area, packed with knowledge, & tidbits of information & elements of historical significance from go to woah! The scenery was gorgeous, aided by the wonderful weather on the day, & Gary was a fantastic guide for our intrepid little group of travellers, sprinkling the whole experience with humour. Among other things, I learnt plenty about chocolate frogs & their significance to the area! May the Chocolate Frog Cafe live on forever more & avoid threats of closure into the future!
