5.00We were timely met as schedule. Drive provided great historical & present information on Tauranga. Had to request a comfort stop, which was not on the schedule. 65% of the group rushed to the facility when the driver stopped.

4.00It's a small area but the driver did his best to show us an interesting tour. Nice guy. What kept this from 5 stars is that the driver kept the windshield shades so low that pretty much nothing could be seen out of the front of the bus, and we had front seats. The "in" part of town is incredibly active and beautiful.
