We did the Martinborough Full Day Food & Wine Tour a few days ago, and we are still buzzing! It was such a great day out! our favourite thing was seeing the Bee's at Greytown Honey! Tom was an excellent guide and made the day just perfect for us. His attention to detail and all the little "extras" definately did not go unnoticed. We highly recommend a Kaewa Tour to anyone wanting to explore the beautiful region.X668NEericb

We had a very special day with Tom in the Martinborough area. The chocolate shop had dozens of different combinations of flavors. Who would of thought of Ghost Pepper Chocolate? (My favorite was the ginger.) The beekeeper and honey production stop is an inspiration to all small businesses. Such passion and knowledge. To top it off, we visited Poppies vineyard. The passion for wines and the warmth we felt with their hospitality made this the most enjoyable tasting ever for me. Thank you, Tom, for sharing your relationships with these wonderful people in this amazing part of the world. Cheers! EricTasmedi

Tom has himself listed on here as taxi/shuttle service, but in fact he's a driver/tour guide, and the best one we've ever met, at that! Tom is a creator of memories, and as he took us to the vineyard, apiary, and fromagerie, he pointed out heaps of interesting and historic sites. He works with you, your interests and is great at expanding the booked tour to include things he knows about that may be of interest to you. He seems to know pretty much everything about Wellington and The North Island, and my wife and I had such an amazing initial tour with him, that we immediately booked a second, different tour with him later during our stay. If you talk to Tom, I'm sure he will find you a tour to make your holiday memorable and fun, at a very sensible price!Tourist64040867448
