Kia Ora, and congratulations for taking a closer look at my profile and a desire to visit this fantastic diverse region with a personable knowledgeable private guide. Born and raised in Napier, I moved to Auckland for 18 years, and then for the last 30 years have lived, worked and played in Rotorua and just love it. I have been in the hospitality industry in Rotorua and have been in tourism for the last 18 years and am very passionate about our wonderful region. From Geothermal Activity to Flora and Fauna to Maori Culture and Nature the list goes on. I understand that a number of our clients travel a long way to New Zealand and want to make the most of their time here, therefore I will customise a tour to suit your preferences and being a local I can show you some unique places that the larger group tours miss. Our tours specialise in individuals, couples or small groups (up to 16). A speciality is Shore Excursions from the Port of Tauranga to Rotorua for a day tour, we understand the time constraints of these tours and have you back dockside at least 1 hour prior to the sailing time, and as I am a local resident of Rotorua I know where to go and how to get there without wasting valuable time. I have a range of vehicles from a Sedan to Stretch Limousines to Mercedes Sprinter mini coaches so that you may travel in style and comfort, full commentary, all vehicles are fully air-conditioned and we provide complimentary chilled bottled New Zealand water.

The tour was amazing! Anne shared many fun facts about Rotorua and was very clear about the schedule. She guided us on where to go and what to do after visiting Wai-O-Tapu and the Agrodome. On top of that, she gave us a great lunch restaurant recommendation. Highly recommended!

Sort of a neutral review. We enjoyed ourselves and saw nice sites, including the geothermal and redwoods. But, she didn't accompany us through the sites. At the geothermal for example, she just stayed outside and talked to friends.

Anne was very patient and accommodating. She considered my condition and kept pace with me, she didnt hurry me up. She was very knowledgeable about the history of the places we went to and shared her knowledge about the hot springs and mud pools. She was also entertaining and she made us feel at ease. We enjoyed her tour immensely and will recommend it highly

We had a great private tour in the Tauranga area. Our group was so glad to see more of the area than only Hell's Gate. I wish we had more time to explore! I would highly recommend a private tour of this area to get the most out of your time exploring and gain expertise from a local. Great transportation, comfortable driving, awesome guide!
