Fun way to sample local brew - We visited three breweries and enjoyed tasting local brews, especially Garage Project. Phillip shared interesting facts about Wellington along the way.

Great half day craft beer tour - We had a great afternoon and evening with Phil. We wanted to get out of the city itself and see some of the breweries a bit further out. Phil got us in at late notice to see Chris at Kereru, where I had two of the best beers I've ever had - a French Saison and a truffle infused, barrel aged barley wine. Next stop was a bit more corporate craft at Panhead in Beertown, then on to Baylands Brewing which was pumping. Phil was great on recommendations and knows the breweries really well. Thanks!!

Excellent Half Day - Aaron was an excellent guide, giving us facts and stories about the area and the breweries. The breweries were fantastic. We enjoyed all of the different types of beer we tried.

Definitely worth doing while in Wellington!! - My girlfriend and I really enjoyed this brewery tour!! We checked out most of the Wellington breweries on our own, but don’t drive in other countries, and this tour brought us away from Wellington to Lower and Upper Hutte. All 4 were breweries were great and considering how many beers we got to try, and transport costs to each place, we felt this package was pretty good value and would do it again with the company for sure!! The guide keeps you on schedule and provides great recommendations at each stop based on your preferences.

Ask for Aaron ~ he's the BEST - OMG - what a great tour! Aaron was so interesting ~ not just about beer but the things he explained to us about Wellington and the surrounding areas were things we would never had known .... and the beer!!! We went to 4 different breweries, each one different then the other ~ and each one great! If you are into craft beer - this is a must do tour while in Wellington!

Poor experience - Wouldn’t call this a tour. More of a transport service. Which begs the question why not just catch an Uber to the breweries instead.
