We spent 3 nights in Wellington, NZ. We were picked up and redelivered to the airport by BlackCars. We did a Wellington City tour on our first full day and a Martinborough wine country tour our second full day. BJ was our driver/guide for both days. Our experience was second to none. We got in more than we would have expected each day because BJ went out of his way to always go the extra yard. He’s not only extremely knowledgeable about the area but he serves it up in such a kind & gentle manner. He’s welcomed wherever he brought us and, as his clients, we were always the recipient of of the best service ever. He’s easy to spend full days with and very quickly identifies your likes & dislikes. Our time in Wellington was memorable and a pleasure. I chalk most of it up to our friend, BJ!…

Where do I even begin? My husband Michael and I were in New Zealand for a total of 15 days and this was HANDS DOWN my favorite day, mostly in part to BJ. I'm a total nut for Lord of the Rings and BJ was attentive, kind, well informed and had a great sense of humor! It was like being driven around with a friend. He took amazing pictures of my husband and I and showed me some of the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen. He gave me and Michael plenty of time to take in and enjoy all of the majestic sites. We only had one day in Wellington, but man, what a day! And to end it in Weta workshop, my husband and geeked out and had a hell of time, and one that I am sure I will remember for the rest of my life. BJ is a one of kind type of tour guide who will take the time and effect to make sure that you are well taken care of. He was wonderful company for a fantastic day, thanks BJ for all that you did! Sweet As Mate! <3…

We were a multi generational family group of 10 spending a few days in Wellington celebrating my parent's 50th wedding anniversary. I booked Black Cars to take us all out for a day tour from Wellington. They helped me devise an itinerary, made an excellent choice for us to have lunch in a vineyard and ensure we had something for everyone (ages ranging from 9 to 73!). We had a lovely day crossing the spectacular mountain scenery from Wellington, followed by a coffee and chocolates in gorgeous Greytown. From there we headed to the winery for lunch and finished with the 200 odd steps up to the lighthouse at Cape Palliser (after stopping on the way to see the sunbaking seals). BJ was an excellent tour guide, knowing just when to provide commentary and when to let us nap (after the winery lunch...). All in all, an unforgettable day! Thanks BJ and team!…

I travelled to Wellington as one of the port stops on a cruise. I chose to do a private full day tour in order to make the most of it. That turned out to be an excellent choice! BJ is an awesome tour guide. He's informative, engaging and humorous. And he listens to his client. BlackCars has a general itinerary for a full-day tour but he gauged our activities based on my reactions to each thing that we saw. He found out how much I like street art and made it his mission to show me some of the most interesting around Wellington. One of the highlights of the tour was the combination of the Weta Workshop tour followed by Gallipoli at Te Papa. Part of the short tour at Weta described their role in creating all of the figures at Gallipoli. Directly after the tour BJ took me to Te Papa so that I could see those figures. I found myself explaining to other people at the museum how the figures were made! So I wasn't the only one that benefited from this wonderful tour. I highly recommend a tour with BlackCars and BJ in particular. You won't regret it.…
