Jon and his friend were wonderful guides around Wellington. Come prepared to EAT. Lots of food stops beginning with coffee and the most incredible scones (you’ve never eaten in your life). Lots of international tastings to highlight the diversity of the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our time walking and eating our way through Wellington. Highly recommend this tour!

Great tour

John was a great guide for our walking food tour of Wellington. He was personable, took us to interesting places and showed us a variety of foods. He individualized our stops based on our interests and food likes and dislikes. He provided interesting information about the area along the way. I would highly recommend this tour!

Our guide, John, was awesome! He tailored our food tour to what we liked. He took us to off the beaten path places to really experience some great Wellington food. He took us to an amazing Asian Food Market and a butcher shop to give us a flavor for what is available in Wellington. He has great connections with many of the shop owners in town. They treated us like family because we were with him. John is funny and clever and we had a super great experience! Thank you.

I was incredibly lucky and had a one on one tour. We walked around Wellington, tried sooo much food and I'm still mind-blown about some things. It really was and still is one of the highlights of my north-island trip. We went from coffee to baked goods over snacks and lunch to sweats and treats and finished with some beer. It was an absolute dream and I hope to be able to come back one day.

Lovely walk with Jon past all kinds of great eating and drinking spots in Wellington. If only we had known we were getting so many goodies, we wouldn't have had coffee in the morning. Fun and diverse and Jon was very flexible and felt where our interest lay. Recommended!
