Wonderful Guide, Pauline - Great Customer Service

5.00We had torrential downpour and no cell service so had difficulty meeting Pauline on time. And the forecast was for worsening weather so she allowed us to get a refund since we were only here for one day. And yet she did some out in the torrential rain. So, amazing service and consideration. Great Customer Service,
A Pleasant Stroll through the Past

4.00A very interesting visit from a cultural point of view. A visit to make rather in the morning or late morning to enjoy the monuments of the course.
Take the tour, it will not disappoint.

5.00This is a Must Do if you have 2 hrs to spare in Pape’ete. You will learn so much about Tahiti and French Polynesia, it will be the best 2 hrs you’ll spend in FP. You’ll learn so much about Pape’ete and FP it will give you a much better understanding of where you are vacationing . Pauline was great at showing her love for her county and people it comes through on the tour. We had 10 hrs to kill in Pape’ete so I picked this tour the last minute to fill some time. It turned out to be one of the best things I did on our 11 days in FP (and possibly the cheapest). We did it at the end of our stay but I’d recommend doing it as soon as you can so you can have the knowledge for the rest of your time in FP, no matter how little it may be. I loved the gardens at the rear of the government building. The tour starts 1 block south of the ferry terminal, NOT at the ferry terminal.
A must-do Informative Walking Tour in Papeete!

5.00This is a great learning experience and inspiring tour! Our tour guide, Pauline, a local, was fantastic and extremely informative about Tahiti, French Polynesia and its history/culture. Pauline had a very organized walking plan of the area plus included bathroom and water bottle refill breaks. I was so pleased that I told a family about this tour at my hotel, the Intercontinental, the next day. This was well worth the time and money and is a must-do for anyone who wants to learn and enjoy Tahiti!
Wonderful Tour Guide!

5.00Pauline is a wonderful guide. She was waiting for us at the assigned location and greeted us with her lovely smile that she kept up for the entire two hours. She is very knowledgeable about history and culture and presented well. We enjoyed our walk around central Papeete.
