Hi there, I'm a young at heart, 3 score plus a little bit more female and have lived all my life in the Bay of Plenty. I enjoy meeting people from all walks of life. We have so much to offer within this area, from a working gold-mine, bush walks, spectacular natural scenery, geothermal activity through to being in the heart of the kiwifruit and avocado growing-region with a few wineries dotted in between. Personally I've completed a business studies degree majoring in tourism and I'm mad about all genre of music. I've travelled abroad to visit friends and family several times and have particularly enjoyed those out-of-the-way experiences that only the locals know about. I drive a limo spec BMW 7 series which is particularly spacious or for a further touch of class come riding in my 1979 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow which is subject to availability! I'm passionate about the area I live in and welcome the opportunity to show it off. I've completed a business studies degree majoring in tourism. I hold a Passenger Service Operator's Licence together with a passenger endorsement (P) on my driver's licence. I also have a First Aid certificate

Sightseeing with as many or few stops as you like with Taupo as the destination for lunch. As well as the features of my Rotorua tour - you can choose from gondolas, Maori culture experience (a 40 minute presentation within Te Puia), hot pools etc that you may like to experience as well in the course of the day, there are a number of interesting places to visit on the way to Taupo. Just let me know in advance if you'd like any of these experiences so that I can make tentative bookings for you. For you photographers there are breathtaking views of the peaks of National Park as we approach Lake Taupo. The township of Taupo boasts great cafes and restaurants, souvenir shopping, a winery and several interesting souvenir/specialty foods and some thrill-seeking adventures such as bungy jumping. We can take the same route back through Rotorua or head over the Kaimai ranges to return via the Waikato district. The choices are all yours and I can customise the day to suit your timeframe and interests
Julie was an excellent guide. She took us to the areas we specifically requested: Waitomo Glow Worm Caves and Rotorua - which was quite a long drive. She pointed out spots/places of interest along the way and stopped whenever we requested. It was a full day and we all - 6 of us - thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you, Julie!
Highly recommend this tour guide. Very pleasant, informative and flexible to accommodate our preferences. Provided exactly the kind of tour we were interested in. Saw and experienced life in the area today as well as the past. Definitely a great day.
Julie was easy going and showed us a number of places that were a little off the normal tourist trek. We all enjoyed what we were shown and would recommend Julie
- I will pick up you at your place of choice and we will head south via Rotorua - There is opportunity to stop for a geothermal experience (Te Puia, Orakei Korako are my personal picks) before carrying on down through farmland to Taupo. - We will stop in at Huka Falls before arriving in Taupo. There are some great lunch places to choose from. - We will head back taking another route so that we take in more farming area and head back over the Kaimai ranges down through orchard country into Tauranga
