Geoff was a great guide for us and took us to caves, Māori history, and hot geysers
Taught us New Zealand history and we had a nice quiz of the history in the end

Warren was a great guide and was willing to adjust to our interests while staying within the set time limits. The Maori experience at the war memorial museum was the highlight of the tour for us. Seeing the city from the last viewpoint was fantastic, could have skipped one of the others. Would have liked to have gone over the bridge to a viewpoint on the other side but we ran out of time.

Not at all as advertised and not worth the $$$. The more appropriate title would be an afternoon with a local. Our guide was good, just not what I was expecting, I would not recommend this tour.
