Perfect way to spend the afternoon!! - Our instructor was fabulous, very informative and personable and answered all of our questions. Maybe would have preferred a little more through the city neighbourhoods and sights, vs so much time on the military history.

Excellent trip - We had a great time with Pauline as our guide. We practiced the segway on the pier and when e felt comfortable off we went. We learned a lot about the island and went all around on the segway. Pauline was very knowledgable since she is a local and we loved seeing lots of different spots on Devenport. The shop is easy to find right after you exit from the ferry in the terminal. We were on a cruise ship and easy to get on a ferry, do the tour and get back in time. Highly recommend.

Our favourite NZ tour! - Our tour guide Pauline was exceptional! She was very understanding with our late arrival and very patient throughout the entire experience. My mother is 73 years old and was nervous but really loved the entire tour. Pauline customised everything and we loved the commentary, scenery and history! I would recommend this to everyone! We felt very safe in your guidance. Thank you!

An honest review - The day was drizzly and overcast. The lovely Magic Broomstick team and I braved the weather and had a fantastic time! Our guide was friendly, informative and knowledgeable about the area. She was able to answer questions and tell delightful anecdotes. The riding instructions were clear and at a pace that suited. I highly recommend this for a wonderful way to discover more about a beautiful place. The views were breathtaking, riding was fun and the company was just brilliant.
