Our tour guide did an amazing job. We enjoyed every minute there
Wonderful experience with clear explanation by the guide. The best part is 50% of the fee paid goes towards supporting the education of the local.
Amazing experience! The Maori school of arts was truly an eye opener and it's great to know that the arts will also be passed on!
It was wonderful. A great experience
