We were delighted with the range of foods our tour guide, Wendy, exposed us to in a few hours. She especially catered to my wife who is gluten free. In our short time together we tried delicious food from Pickle and Pie, Wellington Seafood Market, the Wellington Chocolate Factory, Mr. Go’s and ended with craft beer bar. From start to finish there were tasty surprises for both of us, including banana bread and pastrami; excellent seafood, chocolate treasures to take home and a chicken salad bursting with flavors. We couldn’t ask for more local knowledge, history and eating suggestions.

Brilliant! Thank you
Our guide, Wendy, took us on a great walking and food tour of Wellington. We experienced a variety of food from traditional Māori to dumplings. Along the way Wendy shared information about Wellington. We had a great time.

Thank you so much! I’m so pleased you enjoyed it
My husband & I have done many a Foodie Tour in many destinations around the world & this is without doubt one of the best ones!
Rebecca was our amazing guide, a Wellington resident & truly does know her home city & where to find fantastic eateries.
We walked & chatted & laughed & ate & drank our way around Wellington with fun & the expertise from Rebecca made our day.
I must admit I did have to sit a couple of food stops along the way.
Thank you so much Rebecca for making our Foodie day a wonderful experience.
I can’t recommend this tour highly enough.

Very good food tour - lots to eat and a good variety of food tastings. Would have like more information on the area and history.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for your feedback. Very much appreciated.
We have been on many food tours around the world and rated this one the highest! Rebecca was our guide and she was so lovely and really knowledgeable. The food was varied, including local cuisine, and honestly all delicious! There was an abundance of food offered and we were all so full that we just about rolled back to our cruise ship after the tour. Word of warning - don’t eat breakfast beforehand! Thanks again Rebecca - you were awesome!!

❤️ thank you so much!!!
The owner herself met us in Wellington and gave us the ultimate Wellington food tour.
This is a must do for every foodie. I cannot say enough about this tour and the amazing woman who owns the company & gave us a tour and food experience of a lifetime. I did not know what to expect, but this tour exceeded whatever expectations I might've had.
Do this even if you're not a foodie. I am not going to spoil this, but the chocolate store was like being on the set of Willy Wonka's factory. I even brought some chocolate bars home.

We did have a lovely day! Thanks so much for your comments! It’s a magical place to show off.
Had a lovely time with Juli! Listing needs to change address of meeting place as the center has moved down the street! NOT very helpful! Enjoyed our leisure walk with foods that really were not "native" to New Zealand but enjoyed our time with Juli.
Response from Host, Feb 2025
Thank you Carol. Juli is a gem. I'm sorry about the meeting point. We had emailed all our agents about the iSite moving to a new location, but I am redoing it again now! :) Enjoy the rest of your time in NZ
Great food, awesome guide, fabulous introduction to Wellington CBD and highlights and local knowledge. We completely recommend this tour!
