"A great start to our first trip to NZ. Bianca was wonderful. Her knowledge and the way she explained the history and culture was excellent. Lots of superb scenery from Cornwall Park to the black sand beach. It was good to go to places off the normal tourist routes. The whole day was great fun and very informative. A super start to our holiday. Thanks very much."
