Superb and special
A very enjoyable experience, as a history lover I appreciated every moment of what made it a special experience was Emma, who was wonderful to show me around the museum and was patient enough to answer my questions. A truely awesome person with lots of knowledge around the history of Māori around the Somes island. Thank you Emma for all your fantastic work and for making this experience a very memorable one. I strongly recommend this for those who have a limited understanding around the history in NZ. Thanks to Emma for breaking it down streaming and passing the history so easily .She really makes it so easy. The fish and chips was such a great treat, great way to have lunch on a ferry!

Excellent Museum Tour
We thoroughly enjoyed the museum tour with our guide Libby, the Site Manager. She is a beautiful New Zealand native who is passionate about her museum. Her professional, enthusiastic presentation could not have been better. Thank you Libby.
