Great tour guide, sad tour since it was split into 2 languages. I am sure the guide would have told and shown us more had it been English only. We registered for an English tour and there were 8 clients who spoke English and 2 people spoke French even though they understood English! When the guide spoke to us in English , the French people insisted on talking loudly over him to each other , even though the guide used a Microphone. The guide was excellent, but a pity he spent 1/2 of the time speaking to them in French while we all sat mute. My husband said he finally gave up trying to listen. When the guide spoke on and on in French for the one couple, I zoned out & noticed others fell asleep! Hard to pay attention since we did not know when he would switch back to English. The vehicle was great, AC worked and the sites were nice. We would never have booked had we known it was in 2 languages.

Introduction to Tahiti Nui. My first time in the country. The guide also provided some useful information but 90% of the dialogues was in French because rwo other passengers were French and spoke no English. I speak no French and paid for an English tour. I request a refund. The guide was good, it was the company's fault.

Our guide Edward was excellent. Friendly, kind, relaxed, flexible and speaks good English.His Car was clean and comfortable with good air condition.It was a small group maximum something like 6-7 people. He dropped me off in front of my accommodation (not at lusted hotel) at the end of tour. It was great help for me. We could see all of important tourist spots around Tahiti island within a half day time. It was absolutely amazing. I strongly recommend to join his tour. ガイドのエドワードさんは素晴らしかったで す。フレンドリーで親切、融通がきいて英語 も上手でした。車もエアコンが効きコンディ ションのよい車両でした。車のサイズからし て人数最大でも6-7人と小さいめのグループで す。そしてツアーの最後に決められたホテル ではない私のアパートの前で下ろしてくれた のには本当に助かりました。 半日で島の周りに点在するすべての観光スポ ットを訪れることができました。本当に素晴 らしいツアーでした。 皆さんに彼のツアーへの参加を強くお薦めし ます。

Amazing tour guide to taught us so much about the island. He also knew so much about the plants. We felt we got to know so much about Tahiti in a half day tour. Covered so many important parts of the island.

Our tour guide, Alan, was AMAZING!!! He was a combination of a historian, geologist, comedian, oceanographer and interesting person. Excellent tour. This is one I'd recommend to anyone. They ought to double his wages. Well worth it!

It was unfortunate that we were unable to join this tour because their meeting place was not well marked after getting off our cruise ship so we couldn’t find them. On the plus side, they refunded our money in full!

I was the only one on the tour, having opted to pay for two...after all, I came all this way, I should see everything possiblw. There was some mixup between the company and the guide about pickup time and place, but eventually he found me, and we got on the road. SOOOO SORRY, cannot remember his name. He gave me a great tour of the East and West coasts. I think he must be a poet after hearing his descriptions of the people and places. In the end, a very nice day. Thank you!!!
