5.00My wife and I had booked this tour months in advance of the COIVD-19 troubles. Locked into our return flights we decided to continue with our trip.......We are extremely glad we persevered. Our guide for the day(Paul) was fantastic. Paul changed the itinerary to accomodate winery closures while providing an entertaining and informative dialogue on the flora, fauna and customs of New Zealand. I'm sure it must have been difficult. A must see is the Omaka Avaition Heritage Center. I have been to aviation museums in Palm Springs, CA, Grapevine, TX and the Smithsonian....well the Smithsonian is something else, however I would go back again to Omaka.... awesome collection of displays for WWI & WWII. Execellent tour, professionally delivered under trying circumstanaces.
Excellent dioramas

5.00Wish we could have seen the second section as well as the airshow which was cancelled due to weather. The planes were displayed in very realistic settings, detail is amazing.
