    We booked with Christian based exclusively on his reviews and were definitely happy with the experience. He was exceedingly knowledgeable about both the past and present and showed us a number of different spots on the island to bring his narrative to life. Christian makes the fourth Viator presentation that has totally exceeded our expectations and that is so rare in today’s travel selections. We wholeheartedly recommend Christian as an interesting, well informed, easy to understand host and join his other former clients in their effusive praise and great memories.

    We had the pleasure of meeting Christian, a local Tahitian, on our last day in Papeete. He gave us a private tour of scenic places in Papeete that tourists don't usually go to, providing current and historical information about them. En route to other locations, he talked about his own personal history and provided interesting stories about his late relatives. At Marae Ta'ata, he gave more insight into life in ancient Tahiti and pointed out the flora and fauna that were there. At the conclusion of our afternoon tour, Christian dropped us off at the Intercontinental Resort (his suggestion for us). We enjoyed a drink at the bar and watched the beautiful sunset over Moorea island before heading to the airport for our flight home. It was the perfect ending to our French Polynesian trip.

    This excursion is one that we would highly recommend. Christian was a great guide and provided excellent historical and cultural background information related to the city of Papeete, Tahiti as an island, and other islands in French Polynesia. He was very knowledgeable about many subjects and was accommodating towards any requests we had. A great start to our French Polynesian vacation.

  • Truly a local tour by a local guide.

    Christian-A Great Guide! On time pick up at my hotel. Tourism has been his life long career, so he is very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Tahiti. He’s lived a long time in Papeete. It was so cool to be on tour with him and run across and meet some of his local friends, who were all friendly and very welcoming to me. He was always quick to introduce me. An added attraction for me to meet some locals! The guide was very accommodating and flexible to allow me to choose from things he recommended to see. We went off the beaten path to some places others don’t get to see. Like a stop atop a hill that overlooks all the city and port. He is extremely personable and I really enjoyed this tour by him. I highly recommend this tour and this tour guide! I had a very memorable experience!
