5.00Myself and my husband just had an excellent tour today with our guide Nicky. She was so knowledgeable and because it was just the 2 of us on the tour, this made it so much more personable. Anyone wishing to have a great day i would say this tour will not disappoint. From waterfalls to short trails though some amazing woodland to a stop at a market town and cafe to a stop at the chocolate shop and an amazing time at the Manuka honey shop with a overview of how the bees produce the honey and you get to get up and close to them through glass and watch them hard at work. We are very glad we picked this tour, even though the weather was bad we still had a great day so thenkyou very much.
