Tom took my friend Robyn and l along with 3 Americans on this tour of Wellington. What a jammed packed day we had. Tom was fabulous and very knowledgeable and did a great commentary. We would highly recommend Kaewa Tours if visiting Wellington NZ.

We unfortunately missed this port due to bad weather. Tom was very understanding and was quick to respond to us when we notified him of our situation. We will certainly book with him if we are ever able to visit Wellington in the future!

Tom did a great job hosting us on a Full Day in Wellington tour! We saw more of Wellington than I thought we could in just one day. And Tom's commentary along the way was both educational and entertaining. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to visit Wellington for a day.

Unfortunately we did not have much time in Wellington and wanted to spent a couple of hours at the exceptional Te papa museum, as well. Therefore we only booked the half day Scenic (highlights of) Wellington tour with Kaewa Tours. What a treat!! Tom picked the 4 of us up at the Te papa museum. We then enjoyed one of the best private tours ever! I don't think that anybody could ever see as many beautiful spots in and around Wellington in such a short time accompanied by a charming and knowleledgable guide. After the tour Tom took us back to our hotel. The following day we received a mail with a description of all the important places and highlights we have visited during the tour - attaching a dozen of wonderful photos taken of us during the tour. Thanks for a wonderful day!pschlosser2019

Es war ein wunderbarer Tag in Wellington. Gina hat uns die vielen schönen und interessanten Sehenswürdigkeiten der Stadt gezeigt. Der Ausblick vom Mount Victoria ist wunderschön. Besonders beeindruckend war für uns die Fahrt entlang der Küste, Wahine Memorial und die vielen kleinen Orte. Alles wurde uns von Gina genau und ausführlich erklärt. Auch die Fahrt mit dem Cable Car und der Spaziergang durch den botanischen Garten haben uns gut gefallen. Alles an diesem Tag war perfekt, da hat selbst das nicht ganz so gute Wetter gestört. Wir danken Gina für diese schönen Erlebnisse und Highlights in Wellington.CherylA1910
