Enjoyable Tour - What a great 2 hour tour we had. Our guide was a real character. She had a great sense of humour and was very knowledgeable, telling us of the history of the area and Maori culture. We visited two beautiful lakes, along with a tour around Rotorua. I would thoroughly recommend this tour.
