      Great Natural beauty and island history tour
      Natalia was a great host and extremely knowledgeable about the history and culture of the island. Very good driver also. We enjoyed all the sites we visited. I would recommend this tour to anyone or group that also wants to hear some good island lore and take in some of the natural beauty the gorgeous island of Tahiti has to offer. Thank you again Natalia

      Amazing private tour of Tahiti!!!!!!
      Our guide, Maxim, was a WEALTH of information. For our entire 5+ hour private tour, he shared countless historical details and legends about everything we were seeing, and the entire history of the island. He was a fantastic driver, the car was clean & tidy, and he was very friendly. We saw every single item on my list of “must see” places. An added bonus - he took a ton of great photos for us and was also a talented photographer! Maxim gets a 10/10!!! Thank you so much for everything, Maxim!

      A fantastic day!
      The day tour with Maxim in Tahiti was indescribable. Exciting, informative, and enjoyable – worth every penny. We learned an incredible amount about the country, its history, and the culture of French Polynesia. Not a single moment was boring. Additionally, Maxim is a perfect photographer. You can truly feel his love for the land. We were so impressed that we booked another tour at the end of our trip. Thank you, Maxim! Stephanie and Guido

      Wonderful overall tour of Tahiti
      My husband and I took this tour for our honeymoon. The guide, Max, was so wonderful. He was so welcoming and kind. He was also very knowledgeable when showing us around the island of Tahiti. We were able to see a wide array of the great sites. We were able to learn so much about the Tahitian culture and heard many great stories and legends. He was also a wonderful photographer. I recommend taking this tour at the beginning of your stay so you can figure out where you would like to spend more time at. That being said, it was still so wonderful near the end of our trip . 11/10 recommend!

      Great day!
      This was our best tour while in French Polynesia! Max was amazingly knowledgeable and accommodating! We saw beautiful scenic spots and caught up on some of the culture. We have a great photo record of our visit as Max used our phones to expertly document almost every stop. He was able to add a personal touch many places as he seemed to know all the locals. We could not have asked for a better day!

      Perfect Tour of Tahiti
      Outstanding tour. Highly recommend. 8 hours flew by. We enjoyed learning about local lore and history. Beautiful sights including black sand beaches and waterfalls. Saw where the Olympic surfing will take place. Couldn't have been more perfect. Thank you Max!

      Wow!!! Max is like a professor of history of Tahiti.
      We had a full 4 hours of history and details about Tahiti. It was amazing. We got to really see and hear lots of fun and interesting stories from Max. We really enjoyed our tour and Max. We will book him when we come back.

      Great entertaining and informative tour
      On our last day in FP we found ourselves with some time before our plane left so we decided to get a tour of Tahiti. We are so glad that we found Max. On our private tour half day tour he was willing to pick us up at the ferry and drop us off at the airport after the tour. While he was willing to tailer the tour to our wants we are glad we decided to let him pick the spots. His knowledge of the culture and history of FP in general and of the places he took us in particular was impressive and presented in an entertaining and engaging manor. We toured the whole island. It was worth every penny to have a guide like Max. I highly recommend letting Max show you a Tahiti you could not experience on your own.

      Amazing Tahiti Tour
      Max and Natalia were both amazing to work with. Natalia did all the planning for us to accommodate us leaving our cruise ship and promptly boarding their cool van that awaited us. Max took us around Tahiti and Tahiti-iti to see the best spots of the island. He was so full of historical and current culture information that when asked if we had questions, we had none as we were still processing the information received. Max was a delight and took so many pictures of my Husband and me that we felt like we may have been on a photo shoot. Love him for this as the kids are used to getting crazy selfies! Amazing tour and amazing travel guides!

      Awesome private tour!
      My husband and I booked this tour during our honeymoon in Tahiti. I was a little nervous about booking since the tour didn't have any reviews; however, it was a great tour! We only had one day on the island before hopping on a cruise, so this tour was ideal to hit all the highlights and learn about the island. It was nice to have the tour to ourselves and not travel in a large group like other tours. Natalia was our tour guide and she was awesome. She was very knowledgeable and helpful in being respectful when visiting sites such as the temple that require certain respects (ex. not entering the temple). She gave plenty of time for photos, questions, and just visiting the sites. She also took our photo for us at each spot so we didn't need to rely on selfies. In the vehicle, she would share local history, culture, and stories about how the islands came to be. Definitely recommend booking Natalia for your next trip to Tahiti!

      A really special day with a special guide
      Moorea is magical (though quite hot) and tour guide Max did a wonderful job of showing it to us. He arranged for a private driver and took us to many breath-taking locations which he found ways to be accessible to us despite our physical limitations. He's really fun to be with because of his knowledge of the island and his own fascination life history (former psychotherapist in the Soviet Union and world-traveler).

      A really special day with a special guide
      Max is fabulous! Even though he's not a Tahitian native, his 12 years living in Papeete have given him lots of excellent information. He took us to beautiful locations and knew intriguing details about each place. One member of our group has mobility issues which Max was extremely careful about. Max sees being a tour guide as just part of his job; he makes sure everyone is safe and taken care of. He found "secret" parking areas so we didn't have to walk far to see various sites. On top of all that, he's a fascinating person with lots of wonderful stories of his own adventures. He made our day really special.
