Customized tour! Loved my visit to Rotorua, Te Puia, Wai Ariki Spa and Turkish Kebob for lunch. Excellent tour!

We had a great time! We even had time to do some things that weren’t listed on the itinerary. It was so much fun.

Our guide, Douglas, was excellent. He is very knowledgeable and caring. He took us on a 2 1/2 car ride from Auckland to Rotorua and then explained the Māori culture to us. Douglas stayed with us when we were separated from our guide and continued to explain about the Māoris and their woodwork. The best part was the hot springs. Mother Nature at work.

We enjoyed the tour of Te Pa Tu Māori Cultural Center probably the best. The redwood forest was wonderful and also the Skyline Gondola with a fabulous buffet lunch at the top. Our driver was great and the countryside was beautiful.
