5.00Our tour guide, Max, was extremely knowledgeable, excelling in the history and legends of Tahiti and Polynesia. He gives a comprehensive cultural and scenic tour with several stops. One gets a good look at the entire island coast plus views into the interior valleys. His English is excellent, and he will gladly answer all of your questions. Max nicely tailored our private tour to cut down on some walking since my husband walks slowly with a cane. I would highly recommend this tour!

5.00Our guide Max was incredibly amazing! He is extremely knowledgeable about Tahiti and French Polynesia. He showed us many beautiful sights including many waterfalls, gardens, & cultural sights. He pointed out interesting plants and rare birds. We learned about the explorers that came to the island. He took the time to take wonderful photos of us that we will treasure. We will recommend him to anyone visiting Tahiti. Thank you Max! Shawn, David, Warren, Bonnie, Ed & Carol

5.00I can't say enough how much we enjoyed our day with Max, our guide for our half day tour of Tahiti. He met us at the ferry terminal and took us on a wonderful half day tour around the island. His knowledge about the history, geology, geography and current and past events regarding French Polynesia was astounding. The stops we made at waterfalls, botanical gardens and other wonderful vistas were a perfect compliment. When the tour was done he dropped us off at the airport in time for our evening flight. I would highly recommend this tour for any one wanting a comprehensive tour of Tahiti.
Great Overview of the Island

4.00This was a great introduction to the Island of Tahiti Nui. Our guide, Angela, was informative and fun and very accommodating. The van seats 8 and we were comfortable with the 6 of us plus the driver. The only reason I give 4 stars is because the seat belt in the center of the middle seat did not work properly. It wasn’t safe and was very uncomfortable. I’m sure this can be fixed. All in all it was a great day with this one exception.
Great overview of French Polynesian history and Culture

5.00Max was a wealth of information. He arrived on time, helped with our pile of luggage and gave the 6 of us a fascinating circle tour of the island. We arrived in Papeete at 5 am after a overnight flight from LAX and we had signed up for this tour to fill the time from arrival to when we could get onto our cruise ship. We were tired from the flight but Max kept us awake and entertained the whole morning with punchy narratives on Tahiti culture, history and interesting stops. We were comfortable in the clean well maintained van and Max was a safe and considerate driver. We were impressed enough to ask for him back when we return to Papeete later in the week.

5.00We.. the 4 of us( two couples ) spent a day traveling the length and breadth of Tahiti, and enjoyed it thoroughly. Natalia was punctual , cheerful, and had an encyclopedic knowledge of the Islands history and culture. She was very accommodating vis a vis special requests, and was able to pivot on a dime when certain stops were delayed etc. She also has an interesting back story, which she shared with humorous anecdotes. A 5 star review from us.. highly recommend. Dave and Helen/ Nick and Carol
