Great trip and Stephen was able to make changes to the itinerary to suit us. Really enjoyed the wander on the beach.

A great way to see the area!
Stephen was a terrific guide, providing lots of information and helping us pronounce some of the more difficult area names. We visited the US Marines memorial (Camp Parkakariki), Southward Car Museum, which was fabulous (there was a Cord on display!), the Nga Manu Nature Preserve, had a super lunch, and finished the day at Old St Paul's Church -- the oldest in New Zealand. We saw lots of beautiful countryside in a comfortable Mercedes. This private tour was excellent!
