Guide Waimarie was just fantastic, we really enjoyed our beautiful morning at Whakarewarewa, and enjoyed the fresh cooked corn, was a very informative and interesting tour
Informative and beautiful experience of their lifestyle. Thank you for welcoming us into your lovely village!
It was a great experience to have a glimpse of Maori Culture. It is so interesting to learn their beliefs and values because they a have a deeper symbolic meaning in each of the things they do and big thanks to our guide Daniel, he did an amazing job explaining Maori culture.
This was a great visit, the guide was excellent, open to questions, knowledgeable and very good communicator, he was clearly interested in imparting knowledge, not just about now but a lot of very interesting history, great to have the opportunity to eat something that was cooked in the thermal waters, very close to the city so easy to get to, small group tour, interesting for locals and internationals alike, I would take any visitor there when visiting from now on.
