    Our guide was Hohepa - a man filled with knowledge and passion for the history of māori in Sydney. Hohepa took us on a journey of enlightenment and ahh moments. This tour is one that is shows that māori were adventurers and entrepreneurs and persistent when needed. It opened my eyes to hear some of these stories, stories from so long ago, stories that are documented, and to know how māori first came here to Sydney. Not too strenuous, a few stairs and plenty of rests while you listen. Awesome tour Poihakena Tours!

    Ive lived in Sydney for 11 years and the Poihakena Tour brought to light how little I knew. I learned about the Maori who helped build Sydney into the city it is today. The telling of their stories and exploring the streets and alleys they once walked really help the experience to stick. The 2 hours guided walk seemed to fly by as we journeyed from 1700s to today. If you are looking to delve into a new layer of the The Rocks then I would highly recommend this tour. Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes and a hat if you are going on a nice day! There are stairs to climb but nothing to taxing.

    Kotahi Tours wonderful Poihakena adventure takes you deep into a Sydney you probably didn't even know existed. I've grown up in Sydney and spent my life exploring its nooks and crannies, and these two hours opened my eyes even further. You are guided through Maori Sydney with such care, passion and knowledge it makes for a totally unique experience. My guide was Hohepa, and he had so much knowledge and enthusiasm to share. A gifted storyteller with a wealth of experience, he really did bring Maori Sydney alive. Maori have been travelling to Sydney since 1793, which places them at the absolute forefront of post-European Australian history. The stories of their experiences, travels, and entrepreneurial spirit make a major contribution to Australian history, as well as making The Rocks come alive. This tour is perfect for both tourists in Sydney and locals who think they know their city. It will give you an insight into the city from the very earliest days of settlement, and you'll never look at it quite the same way again. You hope that a tour like this will transport you into another time and place, and as you travel back into Poihakena, you do feel transported. Fascinating, captivating, and inspiring, I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. And yes - the hangi lunch is well worth adding on to your tour!

    For me a 'meaningful experience' is one that stays with you, one that pops into your head so much that you can ignore it no longer and you find yourself on the internet looking for more information! The Poihakena tour has indeed provided me with all this and more. What an enlightening and wonderful 2 hours of stories, warmth and laughter. The walking tour had me looking at The Rocks and the role of Maori in early Sydney in a whole new light. I urge all visitors to Sydney to take the walking tour experience. Thank you Kotahi Tourism.

    Kotahi Tourism promises 'meaningful experiences' on their website, and the Poihakena Tour certainly provides that. The tour consists of a two hour guided walking tour of The Rocks, interwoven with stories of Maori in Sydney. These stories cover the period from 1793 to the present , but have a strong emphasis on the pre-1840 era. Even for those familiar with Sydney's Maori history, these stories are told with a passion that brings them to life. I would highly recommend the Poihakena Tour to both locals and visitors to Sydney who want to see a different side of the city and understand its past a little better. The walking part of the tour is not strenuous and would be suitable for most fitness levels, though being The Rocks there are a lot of stairs to navigate. I would definitely recommend this tour as a cost-effective way to see a wonderful part of Sydney, better understand Australia's complex history, and enjoy a meaningful tourist experience.
