5.00Angele is a terrific guide. Provides a lot of local information about the history of Tahiti and how the island has changed during her life. We enjoyed all of the stops on this tour. The waterfall in particular is stunning! The garden tour is also delightful.
Great tour of French Polynesia!

5.00Absolutely outstanding tour led by a remarkable tour guide named Edouard! We circled the entire island stopping at key sites along the way for information and pictures, several taken by our guide. 9 person van was very comfortable, with great AC. Only recommendation I’d suggest is to schedule the start a bit earlier to avoid daylight setting prior to the end, otherwise AWESOME!

1.00The tour guide was nice. The tour was terrible and because it rained, it was dangerous! We were not able to see all the sights, the tour company changed our time without my confirmation after initially telling me they couldn’t so I planned accordingly. Totally unprofessional and not worth the money or time. I recommend looking for a different tour or tour company.

5.00We were picked up at our hotel which was super convenient. We loved the small group setting(there were 6 of us but the tour accumulated no more than 8) Eric, our guide, was super informative about the history and sites. It was the perfect amount of time at each site with spending a little bit more time at the falls and less time at the Marae Temple. In fact, we made a full circle around the island with stops for photo opportunities. This was a perfect 1/2 day easy tour as it didn’t take up our whole day. Many thanks to Eric for the very informative tour!

5.00We only had 7 h stay in Tahiti. It was the best tour for that. We have learned an awful lot about history, geography, nature and the people of French Polynesia like never before.
