We had a private full day tour with Tom and had a blast! He was very knowledgeable, enjoyable, and went above and beyond what we expected of our tour! We definitely would recommend Tom and his touring company to everyone!

Although this is listed as "solo", we are a married couple traveling together. This is a private tour which picked us up and dropped us at our hotel.We had a great tour. Bryce, our guide, was very knowledgeable about the area, stopping at places of interest on the way to Martinborough and sharing personal anecdotes from his life in the area. The wineries we visited were all top notch, and it was a pleasure spending the day with Bryce. Tom, who owns the tour company went out of his way to meet us as we were leaving town on the ferry, and thanked us with a nice gift. Highly recommended.

Our outstanding guide, Tom, excelled in sharing his knowledge and artisan friendships through majestic summer scenery.. learning wine secrets, tasting superb cheeses, dunking more olive oil flavors than we knew, spotting the Queen and witnessing the births of her worker bees 🐝.

This was a terrific tour, featuring scenic stops, an informative and hands-on experience at a coffee roastery, and an olive oil tasting at an olive farm. Janice was a very pleasant guide who knows the local area and took us to tasty spots for an Italian lunch and for gelato.

Our guide, Dean, did an outstanding job telling us about our stops. He was knowledgeable and congenital. We learned so much and tasted such delicious food and wines. The tour was well worth the price!

My husband and I were traveling with another couple (friends) and we had some doubts about signing up for a tour which included a couple of stops we were not interested in, but Tom Collier was immediately agreeable to adjusting the planned schedule to suit our preferences. Tom was knowledgeable about every site we visited, took good photos along the way, and was great fun to be with. We like to find our own way around cities to see the sights, but this tour allowed us to see sights that are less accessible without a car, such as Evans Bay and the suburbs of Seatoun and Brooklyn. A sidenote: one of our group left his jacket in Tom's car and Tom was most gracious about returning the jacket to our hotel. We all were thrilled that the day was full of interesting sites and incredible views, and that our guide, Tom Collier, was a delightful guide/companion.

I always try to find companies who are happy to take on solo travellers. It’s not my fault that I’m travelling alone any more so I welcome being taken on board, especially when I’m happy to pay the premium that goes with it. Tom an Kaewa Tours we’re happy to do this. He contacted me almost straight away after making my booking and I appreciated that greatly. Then, when two days out, he hit a snag but he contacted me immediately to ask whether my plans were flexible enough to change. When I replied that it was not possible, he just said he would find some way to honour my original booking, no sweat. What more could anyone ask? A man who keeps his promise has my instant respect. He organised another guide, Simon. This was a master stroke … A big rugby and cricket fan and we were best mates right away. Coincidental, yes, but, hey, it works … that beside though, he knew his home city like the back of his hand. Simon was a brilliant guide. He was friendly and knowledgeable, a man of good humour and nothing was a problem. I saw the city with the help of a Wellingtonian born and bred. Every sight was interesting and informatively presented, lunch was included at a lovely seaside eatery and the time just flew by as he guided me round this beautiful place, making my first day ever in it completely memorable. If you’re looking for a personalised tour of Wellington then look no further than Kaewa Tours. They deserve to succeed on this quite magnificent day that I was able to enjoy.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our day out with Tom. He was knowledgeable, passionate and full of great information. His tour around and in Wellington was fabulous and his pleasant and easy going demeanor made our time with him much more special. He made us feel like we had been friends for years! We highly recommend Tom and his team!

NEVER have I ever.. written a review part way through a tour but this is justified to ensure all would be wine loving travellers to Wellington book this tour. Tom greeted us warmly at our hotel which set the scene well for the day ahead. He takes photos so you don’t have to, he provides so much information and the day so far is just so memorable. How luck are we to have found this tour and more importantly our guide Tom

Tom was a winner from the second he collected me until the end of the day. Such a considerate host. Happy to tailor the tour to my individual tastes.

Martinborough Foodie Delight was an awesome, fantastic, informative day out with our tour guide Janice! We were looking forward to the day and it was above our expectations! Janice pointed out so many extra areas of interest during the day and explained everything so thoroughly….it was a lot more than we expected. We truly felt spoiled by the end of the day which as much as it was a full exciting day…it was over too soon. As a local business Tom from the beginning with his friendly welcoming emails and thank you for supporting a local business really added that personal touch. We just received an email with which totally explained and reviewed exactly what saw and and did that day…a day we will remember for a very very long time. As retired dairy farmers from Canada, supporting local is always number 1 too us. THANK YOU AGAIN JANICE!!!! What a great day we had …you made us feel like family 🥰

What a great tour! Tom was a great tor guide and chose really interesting places for the tour. My favorite part was roasting our own coffee beans. Pete at the roastery has built an amazing business. We also had a Sicilian lunch, a French cheese tasting and a beer tasting. All of the locations were so good and everything was delicious. Thanks Tom for a wonderful experience and fun day!

Absolutely fantastic tour with Tom! We had a full day off the cruise ship, explored all of Wellington with sites we never thought we would see. Tom is knowledgeable and personable, navigating the streets we could not hope to drive ourselves on! Had a fabulous time, private tour for two couples. Highly recommended.

Fabulously informative and friendly guided tour of local coffee roastery, Sicilian restaurant, olive oil and cider producer’s offers. A deep dive into the agricultural challenges and delights of Kapiti with the lovely Janice to steer us along the way. Wonderful to experience the passion and craft of people who care about eating and drinking excellent products. Thank you all!

Tom was an excellent guide who provided detailed history and insights into New Zealand. We spent half day exploring the sights in and around Wellington. I would recommend him for your visit to the capital.
