Papeete And Tahiti Historical And Cultural Tour

Great overview of the culture and history of the island. Saw places that other tours don’t visit. Your guide, Chris is excellent and very customer oriented desiring for you to experience the true history of the area.

Christian was the most excellent guide, knowledgeable about all aspects of Tahiti and extremely friendly and helpful. Could not have asked for a better guide.

Christian is passionate about sharing his knowledge of the history and culture of Tahiti. He verifies his customers previous experiences in Tahiti and adjusts the tour accordingly.

My guide was very knowledgeable and fun to talk too. He gave a great tour very through picture of Pappete Tahiti.

Christian gave a wonderful tour focusing on the culture and history of Tahiti. He took us to interesting places related to Tahiti's history, some of which also had beautiful views. He was willing to customize the tour to our interests and even took us to enjoy fresh juices and fruit.

Victor was amazing! It ended up being just my husband and myself so Victor took us to many places and told us so much history! It was very enjoyable!

Great tour by Christian. We were able to get a real feel for the culture and history of Tahiti. Highly recommend.

As of 10:16am, no one has come for my tour and they are not answering their phone. Can I get a refund?

Our Papeete and Tahiti Historical and Cultural Tour with Christian was one of the most meaningful experiences of our visit to French Polynesia. Since it was just the two of us on the tour, the day felt especially personal, relaxed, and engaging. Christian was an exceptional guide — warm, thoughtful, knowledgeable, accommodating, and yes, very handsome as well! What made the experience so memorable was the depth of conversation and connection throughout the day. Christian shared not only the history and culture of Tahiti and greater Polynesia, but also aspects of his own life and experiences, which added tremendous authenticity and perspective. His passion for the islands, their traditions, and their complex history was evident in every discussion. The tour never felt rushed, and Christian tailored the experience naturally to our interests and questions. We came away with a much deeper appreciation for Tahiti beyond its extraordinary beauty and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the tour. Highly recommended for travelers seeking a more personal and culturally rich experience in French Polynesia.

Christian is extremely knowledgeable about Polynesian history and eagerly shares that knowledge. Thoroughly enjoyed my afternoon with him.

Christian has an abundance of cultural and traditional knowledge. He is a proud citizen of a diverse and multicultural heritage. His bi lingual accent is refreshing. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Our guide was so knowledgeable about the history and culture of Papeete and the island of Tahiti. We learned a great deal and enjoyed the tour very much!

You will have the best, most knowledgeable guide and safe driver! We enjoyed the tour even though we did not get to visit the market - my reason for taking the tour! It was closed for cleaning-I would have appreciated knowing this ahead of time.

We booked with Christian based exclusively on his reviews and were definitely happy with the experience. He was exceedingly knowledgeable about both the past and present and showed us a number of different spots on the island to bring his narrative to life. Christian makes the fourth Viator presentation that has totally exceeded our expectations and that is so rare in today’s travel selections. We wholeheartedly recommend Christian as an interesting, well informed, easy to understand host and join his other former clients in their effusive praise and great memories.

We had the pleasure of meeting Christian, a local Tahitian, on our last day in Papeete. He gave us a private tour of scenic places in Papeete that tourists don't usually go to, providing current and historical information about them. En route to other locations, he talked about his own personal history and provided interesting stories about his late relatives. At Marae Ta'ata, he gave more insight into life in ancient Tahiti and pointed out the flora and fauna that were there. At the conclusion of our afternoon tour, Christian dropped us off at the Intercontinental Resort (his suggestion for us). We enjoyed a drink at the bar and watched the beautiful sunset over Moorea island before heading to the airport for our flight home. It was the perfect ending to our French Polynesian trip.

This excursion is one that we would highly recommend. Christian was a great guide and provided excellent historical and cultural background information related to the city of Papeete, Tahiti as an island, and other islands in French Polynesia. He was very knowledgeable about many subjects and was accommodating towards any requests we had. A great start to our French Polynesian vacation.

Christian-A Great Guide! On time pick up at my hotel. Tourism has been his life long career, so he is very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Tahiti. He’s lived a long time in Papeete. It was so cool to be on tour with him and run across and meet some of his local friends, who were all friendly and very welcoming to me. He was always quick to introduce me. An added attraction for me to meet some locals! The guide was very accommodating and flexible to allow me to choose from things he recommended to see. We went off the beaten path to some places others don’t get to see. Like a stop atop a hill that overlooks all the city and port. He is extremely personable and I really enjoyed this tour by him. I highly recommend this tour and this tour guide! I had a very memorable experience!

Our guide, Christian, was warm, friendly and accommodating. He customised the tour based on our preferences and was easy going yet professional. We're glad we booked this tour -- it gave us a perspective of local life.

Customized to our physical stamina and interests. Very knowledgeable and personable. Very positive experience

The historical and cultural tour of Papeete has been interesting but it should be noted that it covers only part of Tahiti and must be complemented by visits to other parts of the large and small island. I was lucky enough to be the only client and to have the guide, Christian Shan Sei Fan, to myself. This privileged moment and the long conversations with him were invaluable and allowed me to understand the issues of Tahitian society.
