Kia ora Connie, Thank you very much for taking the time to post up your review of your day out with me and thank you again for choosing to book with Kaewa Tours.

I trust you enjoyed the remainder of your visit to Wellington and hope you have a safe trip home to Canada. Best wishes for Christmas. Tom
Fantastic, personalized tour
Cameron_R, Aug 2023
Tom was a fantastic guide. Not only did he know the region, he was able to personalize what he talked about to our interests. We even took some side tours for additional LOTR scene spotting. I was most excited to see the seals and they didn't disappoint. Tom was enthusiastic and excited to share the area with us. When looking for a tour of the area definitely book with Kaewa Tours!

Kia ora Cam and Jim, Thanks for taking the time to post up your review of your day out with me. I appreciate your kind words. It was my absolute pleasure hosting you for the day and a very nice surprise to see you in the street a few days later! Sorry to see Team USA depart so soon! I trust you enjoyed the remainder of your visit to Wellington and Aotearoa New Zealand. Safe travels home. Best wishes Tom
A wonderful day out
Casey_P, Oct 2022
I really enjoyed the whole day out but especially the honey tasting at Greytown Honey. The owner was very friendly and passionate about what she does and the different honeys were. Lunch at the winery was also amazing. However the Palliser lighthouse was the crown topper for me because I was intimidated by the steep steps but made it to the top which really felt amazing and was a great way to end the day.

Hi Casey, Thank you very much for your kind words and for taking the time out to post up your review. It was very nice to meet you and spend the day with you over in the fabulous Wairarapa region. I trust you also enjoyed your time in Sydney and that you had a safe trip home to the United States. Best wishes, Tom
Surpassed expectations!
Ilse_V, May 2022
Had an absolutely wonderful day with Tom Collier from Kaewa Tours exploring the Wairarapa region and south coast! Tom has thorough knowledge of the region and tailors the itinerary to the individual's interests, all the while supporting local business and opting for eco-friendly initiatives. Despite having to fit in plenty of activities and long road transfers, nothing felt rushed and Tom makes sure you're comfortable at each step. Warmly recommended!
