Marie provided an in-depth tour of Akaroa's history from a geological and cultural perspective while visiting important landmarks over nearly four engrossing hours. Since its complex volcanic formation millions of years ago, the Banks Peninsula has been significantly influenced by successive waves of human migration and interaction over the past 700 years, beginning with Maori settlement and conflict since the 13th Century. Marie presented the interwoven stories of Maori, French, English, and Australian settlers in a fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable way. Included a nice cup of tea and freshly baked scone at a beautiful spot overlooking Akaroa. Highly recommended.
