A grandiose day with many impressions in a relaxed atmosphere. - We booked a half day tour in Tahiti. Our guide Eric spoke German, which was especially pleasant for us as a family. We had a great day with fascinating impressions and great goals. The pickup or meeting and also the communication beforehand were flawless. We rode in a comfortable, air-conditioned van and the whole tour went absolutely without problems. Eric was really super nice and an extremely competent guide with a lot of background knowledge about fauna, flora and the entire history of Tahiti and Polynesia. It was very instructive and at the same time entertaining and tempting, all very pleasant - almost familiar. The whole family has been very well managed and Eric has really shown us a lot and we felt that he likes to do that! We never had any time pressure and in the end we were even over the specified time, the whole afternoon went like flying. We can recommend this tour with Eric without hesitation! Thank you.

Professionals with passion - I booked four excursions with Tahiti Welcome Tours for our cruise and they were responsive before the tour, reliable & entertaining during the tour, and we all raved about it afterwards. The driver/guide were engaging and made everyone smile. I would book with them again.

Great private and customizable tour! - Our guide, Eric, was a phenomenal wealth of knowledge about the history and flora and fauna of island. He worked with us to customize what we wanted to see and do to meet our specific needs and interests. Having a private driver/guide enables you to have a much more in-depth experience than with a larger group and we highly recommend this!
