5.00We would highly recommend taking this tour with Patrick. He is personally committed to the Maori life along with his family and community. His knowledge of recent events as regards New Zealand and the Maori culture are enlightening. Well worth every cent.
Go as tourists but leave as family

5.00This is a long over due review. Honestly I could write a novel on how amazing this particular tour was… I booked a trip to New Zealand for the first time to celebrate my birthday and getting hired at my new job. I invited everyone close to me but only my Dad and Sister came along for this adventure to New Zealand. My sister and I booked this tour not really knowing what we were signing up for…let me tell you…if you have any interest in this experience—Do it!!!! Hare and his nephew treat us like family. I can honestly say we hated to leave them when the tour was over. We were actually considering staying the night just so we could continue to talk, laugh, and meet the rest of our new extended family. My Dad still talks about going back to sit with our cousins by the lake. We can’t wait to visit New Zealand again. The plan is to spend time with our cousins in the most beautiful part of that amazing country.
A memorable experience

5.00If I could give this tour more than five stars I would. Highly recommend if you want to know Maori culture up close. This is not recreation of what was it is an opportunity to hear the stories of the culture from one who continues to practice it. Ngahere walked me through places I feel are truly sacred. I leave with memories of a mighty Culture then and now. Kia Ora

3.00Looked like a GREAT tour. Cancelled (in advance, with notice and apologies) because there were only the two of us scheduled to go on the tour. Wish I'd known in advance that it was a disquaifier - when I get a confirmation without any caveats, I assume that the trip will go forward as scheduled. Unfortunately, it was too late for me to schedule anything else, so we weren't too thrilled.
