Kelvin picked me up at my hotel, which was awesome. I found him to be very personable and enjoyed his company as it was just the 2 of us. The tour was enjoyable, but I felt something was missing today and looked back at the itinerary. I then realized we hadn't stopped at the Church, the Chocolate Factory, or the Brewery. We did stop at a couple of overlooks, the car museum, had lunch, and the reserve. I enjoyed what we stopped and saw, but I'm not sure if lunch took too long or if the other places weren't open. Either way, when thinking back on the trip the next day, it felt lacking which is why I reviewed the itinerary again. There was some driving involved, but I'm not sure the trip was worth $200.
Breath taking scenery and a wonderful lunch of fish and chips (try the Stout beer on tap) loved the feeding of the eels.
The beach stops and the walk through the nature reserve were very nice. Our guide, John, was able to make changes based on our interests.
Fabulous tour! Our guide was amazing, he allowed us to personalize our tour so we were seeing the things that really mattered to us. Highly recommend!
A great day out viewing the kapiti coast, very relaxing and informative. Stopping at the car museum, chocolate shop, a wonderful lunch at a Cafe, watched and fed the eels and a stop at a local brewery for some beer tasting. Thank you we all enjoyed our day
We were on a girls weekend in Wellington and chose this tour up the Kapiti Coast. Our guide Andrew was very knowledgeable and gave us good information about the area. He was very generous with his time. The tour gave us a good overview of the Kapiti Coast, lovely lunch and visits to the Nga Manu Reserve and Southard Car Musuem. Would definitely recommend this tour.
This specialised day out with John was exactly what we were hoping for,and more. John was totally flexible in making our day relaxed and informative. John gave us the opportunity to spend more time at the Car museum and reduced time on other areas if necessary. We enjoyed his company and indeed everything that was included. This gave us a day that we could sit back and literally enjoy the ride.
Our guide was John and we had a great time with him. My parents have mobility issues and both use walkers. John was happy to help them about as needed. He took us to the Car museum, Chocolate shop, watched eels being fed and saw a couple kiwis. He was very nice and full of interesting information. He even made time to stop at a local brewery for us to try a few NZ beers. Much appreciated! He suggested a great lunch stop with delicious fish n chips. All in all, we had a wonderful day.
We booked a last minute cruise around New Zealand. By the time we booked, many of the shore excursions for Wellington were full. Fortunately, I was able to connect with John and book a tour with him for our brief stay in Wellington. Wellington is a pretty sizeable city - not my preferential travel environment - more of a country/nature person. Naturally, I looked for an experienced travel company to get me out of the city and into the countryside as soon as possible! John took us to the Kapiti coast, to a wonderful lunch and out to a nature center. We enjoyed our day with John and appreciated his efforts to show us the best that Wellington has to offer. Our stay in Wellington was very brief and thus, we did not have the ability to spend a lot of time away from the City, but John accommodated our needs perfectly by tailoring his regular full day tour to our reduced time constraints. I fully recommend John and his tour company. Very easy to work with, very punctual and we arrived back to our ship in plenty of time to board without any issues.
