Highest Recommendation! - Kaewa Tours exceeded all expectations and was one of the best tours we’ve ever experienced around the world. Tom & Jill reached out soon after our booking with a warm email greeting and offer to zoom with us to personalize our trip. We appreciated their genuine authenticity, kindness and professionalism. Tom made some great suggestions for our drive from Christchurch to Picton. They met us at the Wellington ferry and escorted us to drop off our rental car and take us to our hotel. The following morning Tom shared his love and knowledge in a full-day of fun, fantastic sights, good food, conversation & thoroughly experiencing Wellington. Going above and beyond, Tom took us to Te Papa and checked us in for our flight home. Tom genuinely cared about our enjoyment and experience. It is exceedingly rare to achieve the quality of relationship as quickly as we did, and we parted as friends. We highly recommend Kaewa Tours.

Fantastic day in Wellington! - I cannot say enough good things about this tour in Wellington. Tom greeted us at the port Terminal just as we came off the gangway and was ready for the day. We had 10 stops throughout the day and tickets were purchased, pace of the day was perfect and Tom was the most gracious host. He knew all about the city, told us stories of his tours and even meeting the Prime Minister. We had a lovely lunch at the wonderful cafe beachside. The afternoon was perfect and the views he showed us were spectacular. Throughout the day, he took many photos of us, my aunt/uncle toured with us and then brought us back to the ship with plenty of time. He presented us with a gift and just a few days later, sent us a link with all of our photos attached. This tour was one of the best we have ever had and I would highly recommend using Tom. You will feel as if you have really experienced Wellington!

Outstanding Experience with Top Notch Tour - Fantastic! - This tour was outstanding. Our guide, Tom, was patient, kind, funny and knowledgable. We fell in love with the city largely due to our experience with Kaewa Tours. We saw everything we could ever want to see in Wellington, and it was such a pleasure to learn from Tom through his anecdotes and expertise. Could not recommend more highly.

Best Wellington tour guide - Wellington was a great city to visit. Although the weather was not very favorable that day, but our tour guide Tom from Kaewa Tours made it very special. He was very accommodating, gracious, friendly and informative. We had a bunch of awesome pictures which he took by himself and compiled for us. He accommodated our request to change the itinerary for that day due to heavy rains, and he made it possible and made sure that we enjoyed. If you happen to visit Wellington, I strongly recommend Kaewa Tours to handle your tour and prepare the itinerary for you. We viewed Te Papa and the QT Hotel and marvelled how the QT Hotel was moved on rails to make way for Te Papa to be built. Waterfront walk where we put ourselves for "I" in the WELL_NGTON sign, viewed the city from virtual sculpture – now you have Halos! Lambton Quay: On the left-hand side of the Quay was the original shoreline in January 1855. An 8.2 earthquake resulted in the land being uplifted. Parliament Buildings and Grounds: We viewed the iconic ‘Beehive’, Houses of Parliament and the Parliamentary Library building. Old St Pauls where Paddy took us on a guided tour through Wellington’s first Anglican Cathedral which was built in 1866. Here the American and Marine Corp flags have proudly hung since World War 2. We drove past the official Prime Ministers residence on Tinakori Road, Thorndon – Premier House. We drove down Bolton Street where the motorway went through the original settlers cemetery - Bolton Cemetery requiring the relocation of over 3,000 graves. We attempted to visit Space Place adjacent to the Cable Car but unfortunately it was closed for maintenance. We visited national museum, Te Papa.

What a day to remember-Wellington at it’s finest. - The entire day of touring with our guide Tom was so delightful. Tom is so knowledgeable about New Zealand and the entire Wellington area. There wasn't one question we asked that he didn't have an answer for. And the best part was that he took all the photos our group ever needed so I could relax and just soak up all the fantastic scenery and energy. And the other best thing that I have never had a tour guide do was send a summary of the entire day’s activities so i had it for my memory book. Absolutely THE BEST guide ever. And the lunch at Scorch Bay-Scorch ORama was the best. And an incredible view of the bay.

Awsome - We had an unforgettable day with Andrew / most likely the best way to visit Wellington surroundings. We used his deep knowledge to discover hidden spots and used his full flexibility to tailor the day with our wishes. Great experience. Many thanks. Philippe and Nathalie.
