Join a 3-hour Wellington walking food tour with Māori flavors, craft beer, cheese, chocolate, coffee, and local stories.

“Rebecca was phenomenal. She was not only knowledgeable about the food scene, but also the history, and culture of New Zealand and the Māori people. She truly went above and beyond, even letting us stop to buy gifts, and walking us to the trolley so we wouldn’t get lost. Our bellies were full with Māori cuisine, cheese scones with Pastrami and pickles, white fish and chips, Wellington chocolates, fantastic spicy Chinese dumplings cheese, dried lamb and delicious craft beer. 😋”
