We had a fantastic time and saw way more than we expected on this tour! This made us definitely plan on using Viator in the future. We did some excursions through the cruise line but preferred this tour by far because of the smaller group. We got to do and see so much more! This was one of the top highlights of our trip, and the guide was wonderful. Thank you!

Our guide was an authentic member of the community. She grew up there. Showed us her house and how the village functions today. It’s the real deal and an amazing no cultural experience. Highly recommend this tour

An absolute must do with the Maori village & the people living there. We had an incredible guide who was born in the village & the hot springs & geyser was amazing.
The insight that our guide gave was incredible.
One of the highlights of our trip. Thankyou

We are very happy with our tour to Rotorua. Brian is a wonderful guide. He is knowledgeable and friendly and respectful. He kept the tour going at a good pace. I loved the history commentary. We spent a couple of hours at the Māori village. The tour with a resident of the village was fascinating. The performance was wonderful and the lunch was an added bonus. We made several stops on the way back to see other aspects of the area. Overall, an excellent day.
