Great company, excellent guides! A fantastic day out! - I did 2 tours with Zozo. One around Wellington and the coastline with Gary on one day, and the half day Martinborough wine tour with Michael. I had so much fun both days, and they are both great guides. Lots of fun, very informative, interesting commentary and safe drivers. I loved hearing their stories. Our buses had a fantastic time. As a solo traveller I often do day tours, and these are very reasonably priced, and a good day out. Highly recommend :)

Pinot heaven! - Our guide Simon was knowledgeable and fun. The scenery on the journey to Martinborough was stunning. The three wineries were all very different and the place we stopped for lunch served delicious and plentiful food

What a day! - This was the best value for money tour I have ever experienced. Fabulous and knowledgeable guide Simon, was a delight and only too happy to go above and beyond. Three winery stops, amazing lunch at Moy Hall - the food was to die for - and learned so much from the local hosts. Loved the humerous antidotes. Very much recommend.

Martinborough excellence - We had a great day out. Simon our driver was knowledgeable and friendly. Moy hall where we had lunch, the food was excellent however the wine tasting got a bit lost and I felt it was rushed in between the food. But the food made it worthwhile. Simon added an extra of coffee at a cheese shop which was very pleasing. A great day in all and worth the $ as it’s not an easy drive over the rimutaka’s

Excellent wine tour - Great tour over the mountain from Wellington to Martinborough with Phil. He was knowledgeable, personable, and funny, pointing out historical and geological and botanical sights along the way. We stopped at three lovely wineries and tasted some great wines. Highly recommended.

Wonderful Wine Tasting While in Wellington - A fabulous way to spend a beautiful, chilly day in Wellington and the surrounding area. I joined a tour as a solo participant and was ultimately joined by 4 other lovely folks - all of us Americans. Simon, our driver and guide, was fantastic! Local to the area, his insights and recommendations were top notch. Each winery we visited was as wonderful as the previous one, and the wines we tasted were awesome. Lunch was an incredible treat - way beyond my expectations. I would totally do this tour again - I highly recommend!

Very relaxing, informative and enjoyable! - Simon was an excellent host for our tour. He took into account the make up of our group and our requests, in particular noting we were all keen to try some local gin as well as wine. We were very lucky with amazing weather! The tour bus was comfy and clean and the venues we visited were so friendly and informative. Lunch venue was absolutely perfect! Thanks for looking after us and highlighting the best of NZ / South Wairarapa. Great value, excellent service. Thank you.
