WE went on this tour with some cousins from Ireland who rated the Maori cultural experience as one of the highlights of their holiday across Australia and New Zealand. We managed to get our own personal tour guide for the 5 of us and she was young yet knowledgeable and had a passion for the village which came through in her commentary. We all enjoyed our time with her and the tour overall. It was good value and emphasises the basics without being overly touristy. Recommended.
It is a really good and immersive experience into the Māori culture
Together with the guided tour tis experience gives a good impression of the Maori culture. I've had goos bumps during the performance when they did the Haka. Very welcoming and willing to tell about there way of living. Prices true bookme ar good for what it is. Total time of performance is 30 minutes and for the tour is +- 50 minutes. And you can see the geisers from this side so don't have to go to the Ta Puia anymore :)
