It was great, the commentary was light and Informative, and on our trip the weather wasn’t the best, however, this adds an air of mystery to the stories Oh and when Matt asks, go for option no2

Very entertaining and informative way of looking around Rotorua. Great guide/driver and captain in Rileigh and a novel experience in driving a 7 tonne truck into a lake.
