5.00In over 50 years of traveling Lydia has to be the best tour guide I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. She is extremely knowledgeable, concise, kind, thoughtful and considerate. The journey she takes you on through her land overflows with enthusiasm. She has so much to offer…..everyone who has the privilege of being guided by her will come away feeling like they have an in depth understanding of this beautiful land.
Informative & Enjoyable

5.00Lydia quickly got us away from the 'tourist' section of Papeete to show us the more picturesque sections of the city. She then drove around the coast where we could get out and spend time viewing the mountains and a magnificent waterfall. Along the way, she gave us insight into the history of the island. We highly recommend Lydia!
