Russell was a professional, knowledgeable and gracious tour guide. He has pretty much thought of everything to make everyone comfortable and has a great deal of local knowledge which he readily shares. Great way to spend a few hours.

What a wealth of information Russell was. We learnt so much about New Zealand history and especially liked the avocado and kiwi fruit tasting. Would highly recommend this tour.
