Great communication from Viator internal messages; Perfect time keeping; Brian who was our experienced guide was able to offer us 3 generations with different needs also extra activities if time allows. 20 years experience and you can't fault him.

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour to Rotorua Geothermal Living Māori Village, was really interesting and the show was great especially the Haka that they performed. The guide that showed us around the village telling us about Māori life and the geysers was very passionate. Alistair our tour guide was excellent, very informative.

The Māori village with a tour guide from that community was great. We learned a lot and enjoyed the cultural dance presentation. Lunch was provided which we also enjoyed. Other stops during this excursion were also interesting and informative.

It wason, short tour and not too much information about Maori culture, the show was also no that impressive. Loved to see more quality on New Zeland tours as the country and culture seems to deserve it..
