Small group and private, winery, brewery, and foodie tours
Mike, our tour guide for full day Martinborough tour, made the trip fun and enjoyable. He is very knowledgeable about New Zealand and shared lots of interesting information along the way. We visited many great places and enjoyed tasting local cheeses, chocolates, and wines. We also got to see Rivendell, the lighthouse, and the seals at Cape Palliser. The tour was very comfortable, and the vehicle was clean and well maintained.
Recommending Zozo is easy - they are a fantastic tour operator. The hard bit is deciding what bit to compliment them on... They have a good variety of tours, initial comms were great, lots of convenient pick up locations, the guide (and owner) Phil was super knowledgeable and friendly. I had a great time on the wine tour, would definitely recommend and when I get back to Wellington do another. And shout out to L&F, who I met on the tour, fabulous people who I then hung out with the following night!
Zozo Travel Tours – Scenic, Winery, Brewery & Goodie Tour We had an absolutely fantastic full-day tour with Zozo Travel Tours. There were three of us, and it genuinely felt like a private tour — relaxed, flexible, and very personalised. Our guide Phil was excellent: friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly accommodating throughout the day. Nothing felt rushed, and he made sure we were enjoying each stop and comfortable with the pace. The day included a great mix of scenic coastal and countryside views, a delicious winery lunch and food stops, and a fun chocolate stop where we even played a game, which added a really nice, unexpected touch. One of the highlights was seeing hundreds of seals along the coast — an amazing wildlife experience. Dinner was also included, which made the day feel very complete and well thought out. It was such an easy and enjoyable way to experience the region without having to worry about driving, planning, or timing. Highly recommend Zozo Travel Tours if you’re looking for a well-run, personalised tour with great scenery, food, and local experiences.
We 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.
What a fantastic day out in Martinborough, hosted by Simon. He was a wealth of knowledge about the area and the vineyards in the area. We did the 5.5 hour tour that visited 3 wineries - Poppies, Moy Hall and Palliser Estate. Personally liked the wine the best at Poppies and Moy Hall. The latter was where we had lunch (extra expense) which was DELICIOUS and a great lookout over the vineyard. Would recommend to anyone visiting Wellington to experience the outer suburbs :) thank you Simon!
