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.

My wife and I had a very delightful day touring with Tom. His knowledge of the Wellington area is very thorough. - Very complete tour of the Wellington area. The tour offers a very personal experience for a couple who want to spend a full day touring the Wellington area.

Comprehensive private tour - For a comprehensive overview of Wellington, with private insights from an informed guide, this is the place. Bryce made sure we did the must-sees like the waterfront, Parliament and a ride on the cable car, but made sure we had breathtaking views of the City from all sides which gave a great orientation not just to the history, but to the geography of Wellington.
