City tour
The tour was in a quality maxi bus, the guide was very informative through out the tour. We started at the water front with the modern office buildings & museum, working our way around the extensive front before climbing up to a look-out above the city. Then we took the ride up the funnicular railway, before walking through the gardens to the waterfront.

Unique Rural New Zealand Experience
This was a really unique experience to see some of New Zealand's rural areas and coastline. We stopped at a botanical garden, which was beautiful (wish we had more time there). The drive out into the country kept getting more interesting as we entered Terawhiti Station. The roads got steeper and more treacherous (but we felt safe). The expansive views were stunning across the farmland and out to the ocean. We finally reached the ocean and spent some time observing the fur seal colony before heading back to Wellington.

Fantastic Tour
This was an incredible experience! I loved that this all day tour included constant fun facts and information not just about Lord of the Rings, but also about Wellington and New Zealand. My tour guide was enthusiastic the entire time and welcoming to everyone. He made sure that we had enough time to take as many photos as we wanted and even helped us recreated different scenes from the movies. The Weta Workshop experience was fantastic. It focused on Lord of the Rings, but also shared about other movies that Weta has worked on. I learned so much. I loved that this tour was accessible to solo travelers and offered pick-up and drop-off at our housing accommodations. I absolutely loved this experience!!

Lovely city and lovely guide!
We loved our tour, it was a lovely and comfortable way to see the city. Our guide, Athena, was the highlight! Such a kind and knowledgeable lady, she was so friendly! She took us to a lovely out of the way cafe for lunch which was absolutely delicious!
The other hightlight was our travelling companions, in particular a hilarious American chap and his ongoing epic battle with the van seatbelt, he had my friend and I in stitches!

Best time in Wellington with Aaron!
We thoroughly enjoyed Aaron’s tour around Wellington!! He was a treasure trove of local knowledge, culture and Lord of the Rings lore. He went out of his way to ensure that we saw and learned everything about Wellington, including the best pie restaurants. He was patient and gave us time to take lots of photographs. He knew all the best local spots. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide and day in Wellington.

Excellent Martinborough/Wild Coast Day
This was an excellent introduction to the area beyond Wellington. Zozo Tours did a wonderful job of organizing unique experiences: cheese, chocolate, and wine tastings; great lunch and dinner, outstanding drive along the coast. The small number of guests (7 in our group) also made for a fun day.

Great way to spend some hours
Not mom and pop wineries. Ask questions as information is not really given except about the taste. We are interested in growing techniques and soil and our questions were answered. Guide / driver had a great sense of humor. Lunch food at the second winery was pricy but excellent.

Excellent Wellington Tour
An excellent time for us, in this all-encompassing tour of Wellington. Aaron was very thorough and provided us with loads of information and picture opportunities. We felt really fortunate to have picked this tour for our first visit of this beautiful city.

Fantastic
This was a fantastic experience! Our tour guide Ben was very experienced, knowledgeable and personable! Whether you are just learning about Lord of the Rings, a huge fan, or just want to see some beautiful landscapes, this is an amazing tour for all! The Weta Workshop experience was also fantastic! It was really eye opening to see how far wardrobe, props, and animatronics have come in movies! Definitely recommend this to anyone of any age!

We had an amazing time!...
We had an amazing time! Wayne was our tour guide for the beginning of the tour and he was exceptional. His knowledge of Lord of the Rings was absolutely amazing and we learned so much. Weta Workshop was an amazing tour and it was so interesting to see all the movie props. Stan was our tour guide after the workshop tour and he also had exceptional knowledge of Lord of the Rings. We couldn’t have wished for a better day!

Be educated and enthralled
Educational. Our 7y/o grandson was fascinated, asked questions and enjoyed our guide.
Don’t know his name but we went in at 2pm Thursday 29 January.
He deserves real credit for an amazing experience.
Please pass this on.
A great way to spend 90 minutes.

Great tour, feel like a local!
We cannot recommend this tour enough! It was a great way to see the island without renting a car. We did the four hour, east coast option. Philippe was a wonderful guide, he shared a lot of local insight coupled with humor. Our trip was private and just the four of us in a beautiful AC’d BMW. He picked us up at the hotel directly and was happy to drop us in the city center afterwards when we requested. He has a full day option that also includes a boat ride to see the surfer in the huge waves. We didn’t go this time around but definitely will next time!
