    Culture tour
    Derek_B, Mar 2024
    Very much a cultural tour. No Maori dance though. Tour would benefit from more scenic elements being added

    Les, a true teacher, touched my heart. I fully intend to research more about the Māori culture—so strong , loving and sharing. Agnes G .
    Response from Host, Mar 2024
    Awesome, thank you so much. Good luck with your research. Great to have you on board
    Immersive experience and he made the history come alive. Best tour guide I ever had. I'm 68 years old.
    Bruce_F, Mar 2024
    It was an immersive experience light years better than the typical tour. Our guide was not only Maori but a Maori leader who shared insights and details only a tribe member could detail. He is recognized expert. He does high end corporate tours as well as multiple tours for school kids and extended tours lasting several days. . This is the tour guide you want if you are a history "nerd" or just casually moved by learning about the rich past. He made things come alive.
    Response from Host, Mar 2024
    Kia ora Bruce Thank you so much for your kind words. We like your use of the word 'immersive' as this is the experience that we want to give our guests, not see the Māori culture through a window.
