Steven was a great guide for this excursion, we enjoyed his sense of humor and informative commentary about New Zealand and the places we visited. The Maori village was definitely the highlight of the trip, where we were treated to a guided tour and demonstration of some Maori dances. We also appreciated the kiwi fruit and honey tasting. All in all, a great day was had despite the rain.
