Matheus was our tour guide for an evening Food Tour in Wellington. I highly recommend him as a tour guide. He is knowledgeable about the history and area and very easy to talk to. Patient with all our questions. Unfortunately the food experience was not great. There was a limited variety and less than satisfactory number of stops to sit down and have food and beverage, especially considering the high cost of the tour. We have done many food tours around the world and are quite familiar with them. If not for Matheus, I would have considered the evening a failure. He was great!!! There is room to expand the food experience in a city the size of Wellington. Wellington Food Tour

We had the 10 tastings of Wellington with Matheus and we loved every bit of it. It was a pleasure spending the afternoon in the company of Matheus, a very knowledgeable and pleasant guy. He knows perfectly well the culinary scene of Wellington, and beyond, we were able to chat with him about art, society and politics. We definitely and wholeheartedly recommend the tour with Matheus.Excellent tasting tour

Matheus was at the spot few mins ahead of time and was communicating through out and was easy to find, clear in communication, explains things in context as to how I would understand, noticed small details of what I like and explains murals , graffiti as well as sculptures and takes you through well planned routes and lays out several choices of food at every stop and also lets you know what he enjoys as well and must say he has good taste buds and I enjoyed sampling food along the way. Stories, history, jokes, experiences, he does it sincerely. He offered to stay longer at no extra charge. He did set the standard for my experience with guides in New Zealand Standards
