5.00Tom was our guide and he couldn't have planned a better day. We started by driving past Parliament, then along the coast, and ending at a shop where we roasted our own coffee. We had a great lunch at an authentic Italian market, a great snack at a French cheese shop. Then we made our own candy bars. Ended right around the corner from our hotel at a micro brewery. Tom was informative and quite generous. Highly recommended.
Great day out.

5.00The experience was fantastic. We were collected from home and driven up the coast to a number of points of interest. Cider making, ice cream tasting, lovely lunch and we roasted our own coffee. Great variety of things to do and accompanied by a great host/driver.

5.00This was a terrific tour, featuring scenic stops, an informative and hands-on experience at a coffee roastery, and an olive oil tasting at an olive farm. Janice was a very pleasant guide who knows the local area and took us to tasty spots for an Italian lunch and for gelato.
Come for the coffee, olive oil and crafted cider…delicious!

5.00Fabulously informative and friendly guided tour of local coffee roastery, Sicilian restaurant, olive oil and cider producer’s offers. A deep dive into the agricultural challenges and delights of Kapiti with the lovely Janice to steer us along the way. Wonderful to experience the passion and craft of people who care about eating and drinking excellent products. Thank you all!

5.00We had an awesome day out, great food, great coffee and great gin. Pickup and drop off from our Hotel in Wellington. Tom was an informative host with good information, a thoroughly enjoyable day. It's the second tour we have undertaken with Tom and would be happy to recommend it.
An amazing and unique experience

5.00The whole day was amazing despite the slight drizzle. We were collected from home and driven to Kapiti where we did quite a few activities. Cider tasting and ice cream made from foraged plants was an amazing experience. Roasting our own coffee was a highlight. Sitting on heated concrete seats while eating lunch was so warming while we sipped on wine and had a lovely lunch. Tom was informative and very entertaining. I would recommend this trip with Tom as he was a great host. Thank you.
What a wonderful day out with Tom to explore the amazing Kapiti of Wellington

5.00My private tour with Tom out of Kapiti in Wellington was nothing short of fantastic. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, passionate, and personable guide to show you the beauty of this region, look no further
