Wellington City to Coast Highlights Tour (mit Mittagessen)

Athena and Zozo tours made getting to many Wellington sites and landmarks so easy! As a solo traveler, their low minimum required bookings also meant I had a good chance to attend and not be left to my own transport. The locations were very interesting, spectacular, relevant, or all three! I loved the lunch spot, the conversation, and the momentum of the tour meant we got to squeeze a lot into approx. 5 hours. Athena was a breath of fresh air who made sure we felt welcome and informed. She was a highlight of an already lovely day! Thanks Zozo!

An ideal way to spend a day in Wellington. I booked this shore excursion following a recommendation on a Cruise Critic Roll call for our New Zealand to Australia cruise in March. The fellow traveller had in fact been directed to this excursion by a friend who lived in Wellington so that was a positive from the start. The moment I booked this through Viator ZoZo Travel were in touch. Great. So reassuring. Customer care at its best. Our guide (think it was Mike) met us dock side promptly and we were all settled in and quickly on our way. Throughout the day he was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The tour covered a large area and as the itinerary details a lot of stops. A particular highlight for us was the lunch served at a local seaside cafe. I understand that the tour company reserves it for customers so you get a personal service. The staff were lovely and the food excellent. Most of us seemed to order the fish and chips and the portions were large. As I said at the start it is a full on tour with a lot to take in but it will give you a very good experience of highlights in Wellington. At the time of booking the tour was called cave, coasts. One of my fellow passengers commented that there were no caves. However I understand that the caves aspect could have been WETA stop. I personally felt that one of the coastal stops lasted longer than necessary which then had the knock on effect of meaning that we did not have the opportunity to visit the rose garden. Some of our group were keen to visit the church which is mentioned in the itinerary but when we arrived it was closed. Perhaps this could have been ascertained beforehand. My husband would also have liked to have had the chance for a photo stop at the Beehive (but that may not have been possible due to parking restrictions). On my return home I contacted ZoZo Travel with my feedback. I was delighted to receive a detailed reply which highlighted the care the proprietor takes in providing a great service to his customers. The tour name has now been changed to Wellington highlights removing reference to caves All in all this was a really good shore excursion offering value for money, customer care, an all round concise city and outskirts tour with a lovely lunch thrown in to boot.

Peter was awesome guide. TripAdvisor needs to advertise in NZ dollars. Would highly recommend to anyone.

It’s a fantastic tour! We lucked out and had Phil all to ourselves. Very good view of Wellington and very informative of the area.

Got to see some great sites, lunch was good, and Michael did an awesome job making sure everyone had a good time.

Athena was a wonderful tour guide—so personable and knowledgeable. She fitted our trip to our needs. When she realized how interested we were in LOTR, she fitted our tour with our interests.

We enjoyed our tour around Wellington visiting interesting places and get to top of mountain with a large wind turbine plus great 360 view of Wellington. The driver was very friendly and informative. Must Do

Wow! The best day of our holiday! Our guide Gary was incredible, a lot of info, we learnt so much. The tour covered a wide view of Wellington, covered a lot of distance and sights. Lots of laughs and yes lunch was delicious! Highly recommend this tour! A fabulous day out!

Had a lovely day and saw alot of Wellington from the coast line to the city. Lunch which was included was yummy as well.

It was a very good experience with a tour guide Steve
