    For our tour to Kapiti Coast we had Jill as our guide. She was friendly and had lots of knowledge of the area. The vehicle was comfortable for four adults, with many scenic stops. We had fabulous coffee for Morning Tea as well as a delicious lunch at the beach cafe. Jimmy the parrot at the nature reserve was a real treat. A wonderful day exploring Wellington and the coast.

    Tom our guide was an exceptional person. He gave a continuous explanation as we traveled. He also gave us lots of time at the coffee and snack stops. Lunch was super. He also took many pictures that he will be sending to us, detailing the complete trip. I would recommend this tour to anyone. Richard and Delphine

    Wonderful day. Great introduction to the Kapiti coast. Tom was great at tailoring my day to include my interests. I had a great time and felt comfortable traveling with him as a female solo traveler.

    Tom Collier was a wonderful tour guide. My wife and I spent a month in New Zealand in February, 2023 and booked many tours thru Trip Advisor. While we had many good tour guides, Tom stands out as the best. Friendly, punctual, knowledgeable and entertaining. We had a wonderful tour of the Kapiti coast and highly recommend the tour and Tom Collier

    This was an amazing tour! We felt well taken care of and enjoyed cruising Wellington and the Kapiti Coast as locals. Tom took care of everything and more. Every single stop is well planned, organized, and executed to the T. Can’t wait to return!
