Beautiful day, great tour guide. Learnt a lot, enjoyed the experience
If I could rate our experience more stars I most definitely would. My 14 year old daughter, 4 year old son & myself highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning about the true history of Te Tiriti O Waitangi & our Māori cutlure. It was beautiful & I cant wait to come back with my son & husband.
Very informative, and entertaining.
Wonderful experience, guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, the whole experience is a must do. The grounds and history are very enlightening and the cultural experience was fabulous.
