Paul the owner driver is a star. We booked from Canada on the internet. No money was asked for up front. A promise to meet the ship as soon as possible after docking. We were 3.5 hours late in arriving. Paul had waited from 6.30.a.m!!. Paul is very personable and knowledgeable and geared the tour to our shortened needs without... More

Having found Tauranga Tasting Tours on the net and booking a days excursion prior to arriving at Tauranga by cruise ship, we found Paul waiting as promised with his sturdy name board right out the front of the port exit. We brought along another two fellow Aussie (pretend Taffies) friends in the hope there was enough room on the bus... More

Three of the things Paul likes doing most are meeting people, showing them around our lovely region and driving. It's always a pleasure to have interested, empathetic clients with a great sense of humour! Thanks for taking the time to write this review. We really appreciate it. More

Paul takes personal pride and is interested in showing his country to visitors. We took a day excursion off a cruise ship to visit Rotorua. We found Tauranga Tasting Tours on the Internet and booked from North America. Lyn is very helpful and replies almost immediately to emails. We were met at the Tauranga port entrance by Paul. We got... More

The trip to Rotorua from Tauranga and back was absolutely wonderful . Stopped along the way to see Kiwi orchards and white water rivers and etc. Te Puia Maori village and show was extremely interesting to us. The hot springs, bubbling mud, the shooting geyser - all things I had wanted to see since childhood TV. The town of Rotorua... More

We had pre-booked a tour with Tauranga Tasting Tours & Charters before our trip to New Zealand. I really appreciated how easy it was to communicate with them - they always responded promptly to e-mails. When we arrived, they picked us up at our cruise ship, and we had a full day tour, with spoken commentary throughout. Because we got... More
