Sweet Treats and Great Memories
My family and I had an amazing time on the Chocoholics Walking Odyssey Wellington! One of the biggest surprises was just how much of Wellington we got to explore. There was quite a bit of walking, which turned out to be a wonderful bonus. We rode the iconic cable car, strolled through the city's vibrant streets, visited historical sites, and, of course, indulged in an incredible amount of chocolate along the way. Our guide, Stella, was fantastic. She kicked off the experience by welcoming each of us with a piece of chocolate, immediately setting the tone for the tour. Throughout the afternoon, we visited several wonderful chocolate shops where we sampled handcrafted chocolates, rich hot chocolate, chocolate cookies, decadent pastries, and so many other delicious treats. I didn't think it was possible, but by the end of the tour we were officially "chocolated out!" Stella was knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and so much fun to spend the afternoon with. Our group quickly bonded, and we turned into a lively, laughter-filled bunch. Rather than simply leading the tour, Stella embraced the energy, joined in the fun, and made the experience feel warm, personal, and memorable. We had an absolutely wonderful time and would recommend this tour a thousand times over. If you love chocolate, enjoy discovering local businesses, and want to experience more of Wellington on foot, this tour is well worth the money. You won't be disappointed!
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to write your lovely review of our Chocoholics Tour. I’m glad you enjoyed your experience with us.

Chocoholics dream tour
Fantastic tour with Stella. We experienced Cable cars, toured the botanical gardens, walked on backstreets as we covered the entire city, sampling chocolates along the way. Stella knows the city and all its history which she shares so easily. What an unexpected and fun way to tour Wellington.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your lovely review. It truly means a lot to us, and we’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your experience with us.

Chocolate lovers dream
Our tour guide Stella was very knowledgeable about the city of Wellington and the New Zealand Nation. She took us to 4 remarkable little Chocolate Shops to taste and sample their delicious Chocolate. We had more Chocolate than we could eat. Thank you for a terrific experience.

Tour the Town with Chocolate
We had an amazing chocolate adventure with Stella! Unfortunately the cable car was down for maintenance (which happens in August for 2 weeks) so Stella and her wonderful partner picked us up in their Tesla to drive us to the top for the views. From there we headed down toward the botanical gardens, which of course weren’t in bloom, but were still quite lovely. The first chocolate shop was a short walk from the gardens and was such a delicious experience! We had some hot chocolate and tried 3 different types of chocolate, where the ingredients were locally sourced. Even the artwork on the chocolate bars was done by local artists! La Petite Chocolate shop in Thorndon was delightful! We journeyed on to a quaint street, then headed past the beehive to Bohemian Chocolate. There we sampled some gelato and 3 chocolates, including some with Hokey Pokey. If you are an American and have never heard of this, and no it’s not the dance, give it a try as it is quite tasty! For a quick rest, we went to Le Ciel for an amazing cake and tea. The portions are enormous! It is a small business run by a dedicated young entrepreneur who makes excellent cakes! By the time we got to Devonport Chocolates, we were quite full, but still had a few samples, which were also delectable! The shop is inside an old bank that has been turned into a small mall. It was really interesting. Finally, our last stop was Wellington Chocolate Factory. There we could see the machines they use to make their chocolate on site, which was really cool! I’m not a huge chocolate lover like my mom who picked this tour, but this was a fantastic tour and Stella was fabulous! I am happy we did it as it was a unique way to see the city. Thanks Stella!

Wellington Chocoholics Walking Odyssey: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Wellington.
How much does Wellington Chocoholics Walking Odyssey cost?
+
Prices start at $146 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Wellington usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Wellington Chocoholics Walking Odyssey take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Wellington is not rushed.
Is Wellington Chocoholics Walking Odyssey worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Wellington, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Wellington Chocoholics Walking Odyssey?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Wellington Chocoholics Walking Odyssey suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Wellington Chocoholics Walking Odyssey?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Wellington can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Wellington and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Wellington Chocoholics Walking Odyssey start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Wellington within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Wellington?
+
On Outty we rank every Wellington experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Overnight Experience Tour on Kapiti Island, Martinborough Wine and Wild Coast Tour from Wellington, Wellington: Wētā Workshop 90-minute Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Wellington?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Wellington?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Wellington Chocoholics Walking Odyssey?
+
Included: Chocolate Tasting; Hot Chocolate; and Pastries. Not included: Any additional food or drinks ordered separately at the venues; and Hotel Pick up and Drop off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Wellington Chocoholics Walking Odyssey?
+
Meet at the corner of Lambton Quay and Grey Street, outside Seed Heritage Clothing Store, Wellington Central Tour ends at 94 Cuba Street, Wellington Central Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Wellington Chocoholics Walking Odyssey offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Wellington Chocoholics Walking Odyssey?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
