    My family and I very much enjoyed this cultural experience. It was unlike anything we have seen before. The performers and staff are warm, informative, sincere and charming. The venue is unique and picturesque. The canapés were adventurous yet delicious and popular with all. Our driver Dibs was courteous, efficient and well organized. We highly recommend it.

    Thank you to all from the bus driver to all of the participants in the storytelling and the show! And thank you for the nice food. We loved it all and our nine year old is now practicing the Maori words. *We got knowledge about traditions in a fun way. *Perfect group size. *Very enthusiastic and talented people!! *An amazing dance and singing show. (The Haka is still my favorite!!) *Fun with a song in every language represented. *Very good food. I think the most important was, that the people was so enthusiastic and prowd of their history. That really made the entire experience perfect.
