Russell was a great guide, lots of interesting information, plenty of stops to enjoy views or historical sites and a good sense of humour. We had limited time in Tauranga and this was a great way to get to know a bit about the place and local history. Lovely pub at the end too.

Response from Host, Feb 2020

Hi Ingrid me old mate!, It was an absolute pleasure to host you guys for the afternoon. Your interest in our local history was great and it was an honor to share it with you. I'm glad you have all made it back to Melbourne safe and sound. All the best, Russell
