Do NOT skip this tour on Tahiti - You will love it! - This was an excellent fun tour by our passionate, funny & knowledgeable tour guide, Christian, who opened up aspects of Papeete & Tahiti that we would never have seen or known about otherwise. Christian is deeply versed in the history & culture of Tahiti. It was fascinating learning about the continued influence the French have on the culture and history of the Polynesians in this part of the world. If you're short on time in Papeete, Christian's tour is a great way to get the most from your trip.

Great tour of Papeete with a very knowledgeable guide! - Really comprehensive tour of the best sites in Papeete with our very knowledgeable guide and excellent ambassador for Tahiti, Christian. We had great photo opportunities and learned all about the history and culture of Papeete and Tahiti. We ended with a wonderful lunch (not provided by the tour) at an oceanside open-air cafe.

Discovering the hidden history of French Polynesia - Highly recommended if you have any interest in learning about how Papeete and French Polynesia got to where it is today. In an easy paced walking tour to places we did not know about or would have passed by, our guide Christian gives life to the people and events that shaped French Polynesia and which continue to do so today. Christian and his family are passionate about preserving and sharing the stories of Papeete and French Polynesia. We learnt so much and this tour provided a real depth to our short stay in Papeete.

Walking Tour of Pape'ete - Having an educated, knowledgeable French Polynesian guiding us and showing us places he had grown up with and had intimate knowledge of. His offering to take us places that interested us as opposed to just a set itinerary showing us places that interested us little

Definitely Would Recommend - Fabulous! My husband and I were the only people on the tour and Christian had no problem leading a tour of two. He said he would lead a tour of one if that person wanted a tour. We learned so much and he seemed to know everyone—and was so compassionate with the several unhoused people we encountered…it was touching. We also didn’t realize the over 100 nuclear test bombs impacted this community so immensely. Christian also gave us dining and shopping recommendations for locally made items and pointed them out along the way. I was able to go back to these places the next day to shop. Kudos to Christian to an educational and entertaining tour. Definitely would recommend!
