Read what guests say about Zest Food Tours on our Feedback / Media page


'In three hours we learned a lot about the development of Wellington's foodie scene and the festival and cultural activities in a great city. For us, the really great element was the opportunity to meet local influencers of the food scene, to understand the background to their buinesses and, of course to sample good food, from cookies, honey, chocolate and gelati to a range of savoury products.'

- Greg, Trip Advisor
