Chris gave a wonderful tour, pointing out buildings with interesting stories. I will always think of rest in peace very differently now1 He even shared a great pub just down where the tour ended. We are very happy that we took the tour.

Chris our guide was very knowledgeable and no question was too much for him. He was also open to learning from all of us and was happy to listen too. Great tour as a Scot to learn about the experience of Scottish settlers and their relationship with the Māori settlers. Chris gave a tour from a social, historical, and arts perspective and some great tips for fish and chips and coffee house Vogels
Great tour!
