Muriwei beach was exhilarating. We happened to be there during a surfing competition. Phia beach beautiful. Our guide was reassigned to us. She was a sweet lady but could not understand her. Be sure to reconfirm an understandable English guide. And take a snack. 90% of the tour was winding thru obstructed view 2 lane roads. What made it worse is very minimal eating places and driving on more 2 lane roads seeking for them. Did not prefer Burger King, etc. Ate our granola bars.
Well, Firstly sorry that you didn't like the tour. However, all other customers understood her. She doesn't have any of language problem. You are the first person who have said this. As it's country side, the eating places are limited. You should know that. I'm not sure what kind of tour you were expected. But, you might not enjoy any kinds of tour in New Zealand I guess.
We were taking cruise out of Auckland and had a few days before we boarded the ship. We decided on this excursion and what a great pick it was! Ishmael our tour guide gets 10+ stars in my book! My friend and I are both retired teachers and we asked him every question in the book and he provided answers. I know he was glad to get us out of his car just so he could have some peace and quiet!!! He was so very friendly and personable. He shared his personal experiences with us, gave us a lot of information about each of our stops and went out of his way to make our excursion wonderful and memorable.
Thanks for the great review for us. It was great to hear that you had good time with our guide. Thanks again for using our tour.
We had such a great time on this trip. Israel was our tour guide for the day. He was knowledgeable, kind and gracious with our group of 6 and a bunch of luggage as we just got off our cruise. He really took care of us, showed us many great sites and made us feel comfortable. We had to make a change in the itinerary mid-day and Israel accommodated that and switched a few things around, making the trip fit into our schedule. I highly recommend this company and tour. It is a great way to bridge the gap from when you arrive off the ship and when you can check into the hotel!
Thanks for the great review of the tour.
