    Well organized trip, owner Tom is really nice. Guided us along the way and on the mountain, with detailed info about NZ such as landscape and history knowledge. Volcano also looks cool and unique. We even had a chance to see the Hook Fall, and the coolest Mcdonald’s in the world😂😂. Lunch was good as well. Would def recommend this trip👍👍

    We decided at the last minute to hire a private tour guide on our visit to New Zealand. The owner Tom had to jump through a few hoops to fit us in. We are so happy we did. We definitely saw so many sites we would never have seen without an experienced guide. Tom’s love of the environment and history of the area is highly evident by his knowledge and commitment. Thank you, John & Nancy Weber

    Really excellent experience with Foris! Our guide Karl was fantastic and explained a lot of NZ’s history along the drive to Tongariro. The tour was a fairly easy walk and we had a wonderful lunch at the waterfall. He even made a special stop at another falls for us to check out on the way back. Definitely recommend and hope to be back for another tour. Thank you, Karl!!

    I’d give this 6 stars if I could. Tom looked after us from start to finish and had so much information and chat to share. This walk is stunning and he made it so much fun as well. He is clearly passionate about showing off the local environment. I’m so glad I did this walk instead of the overcrowded march that happens on the Tongariro Crossing. This walk took us the other side and up to the Tama lakes. The views of the volcanoes and lakes were so beautiful. We met very few people on the walk so it was amazing to take our time and enjoy the unspoiled views. Also, the lunch was yummy. Thanks Tom, it’s a day I’ll never forget 🙏😁

    What a day, not only did Tom collect us from our campsite he then guided us through this amazing park sharing his vast knowledge on the history, geology and bird and plant life that we would have totally missed if we tried this ourselves! To cap it all he provided an excellent lunch with the most amazing views. I can not recommend this highly enough! Go for it … embrace a volcano 😎
