This tour was extremely overpriced. Unfortunately to an unsuspecting Australian we thought $1500 FJD was acceptable although it was not. We were picked up from Denarau and taken to Tau village which was just over an hour or so. We were charged $10 FJD for Sarongs for men and women ( this was outlined ) although they were cut up pieces of material not sarongs. We were expecting a traditional culture tour, no one was dressed up in traditional clothing. No “ warriors “ we were asked to donate to the church, we were then asked to pay $5 per coconut. They sang a couple of songs and then they asked us to donate for singing those songs. We did not get a school tour because it was school holidays but still had to pay full price. We were cooked a lovo lunch in what looked like a rubbish burn pile. All up we spent $1700 Fijian on this tour not including the necklaces we purchased. I felt this was a huge money grab and felt they were so rude constantly asking for money. The things we got should have been included for $1500 We then spoke to the resort they said the tours should cost no more than $200 per group. I have received a lot of messages saying the company is renowned for ripping off tourists. Always book with your resort for tours. On the plus side we cold not fault their transfers to and from the airport at all.YolandeAlcorn

Very enjoyable tour for our family of 2 adults and 3 young kids. The coach driver and tour guide were excellent. We enjoyed the kava ceremony and welcome songs. They did put sarongs/sulu’s around us all unless our knees were covered. (Dress everyone in long pants/dress/skirt to avoid) We had read...
Very enjoyable tour for our family of 2 adults and 3 young kids. The coach driver and tour guide were excellent. We enjoyed the kava ceremony and welcome songs. They did put sarongs/sulu’s around us all unless our knees were covered. (Dress everyone in long pants/dress/skirt to avoid) We had read this and were prepared to pay the $10fjd each to support the locals. It would be great if funds were used towards a sewing machine to hem them, tourists may be more inclined purchase. We were not asked to gift kava or offered any coconuts. Staff and villagers were polite and respectful. The highlight was seeing the school and kids. We brought a carry on suitcase of exercise books, stationary, literacy & numeracy resources which were gratefully received. Some items were also shared among the village children. There are opportunities to donate to the church, school & tip the singers but it was not pushed. The lovo lunch was delicious, there was more than enough food and vegetarian options. There was a souvenir table after lunch with high prices but it is optional. Take change, water and enjoy the Fijian culture and hospitality.danielwT9947DD

We booked online from home and the webpage listed numerous things that would be included in the half day experience. Email communication was good, and pickup was on time. However, we never would have booked if we knew so much was not being included. # The light lunch was just juices bought by the driver who nipped into a local service station shop. # Half the journey was cancelled as the local elders had apparently closed it starting on our day of travel # The tour did not include the local village or cave as stated on the webpage. We had purchased sarongs specifically for this visit # There was no opportunity to buy anything from the markets # There was no celebratory coconut # The horse ride was very short and the horses were very malnourished # The tour ended very early as the driver had to get other people from the airport, so we were returned to our hotel. 1/5 Would not recommendMilahso

Highly recommend! Myself and sisters completed this beautiful Fijian Cultural tour to Tau Village and left feeling so touched and wholesome by our experience. We loved knowing that our contributions go to this beautiful village. We all felt extremely welcome by the locals + school children of Tau Village and felt completely privileged to have the opportunity to spend the day immersing in Fiji’s beautiful culture. From being shown around the school by the children, yarning about their exams, favourite games, to the laughter, jokes and many photos the children wished for with us to the welcoming Kava ceremony in the Village, to drinking coconuts from the young men, to participating in song and dance, not to mention the beautiful traditional Fijian Lovo made for us to have for lunch at the house to end our tour. We all feel extremely grateful for our experience and wholeheartedly loved our day experiencing and educating ourselves on Fiji. Thank you all of Mick’s Tour for having us with you to learn about people, culture and land of Fiji. We had so much fun. We already can’t wait to come back! Also, big thanks and appreciation to our driver James for all your kindness + time!487michelle

We were picked up by Mick in the morning and taken to the Zip line and Tau village. We had an awesome time at the zip line - lots of cardio exercise. The views as you go from zip line to zip line was breath taking. We then went to the Tau village and met the village and it’s elders. We watched a performance from the entire village and had Kava with them. After that we had lunch at the family home - and the food was wonderful. The traditional Fijian food was authentic and we all appreciated how beautifully it was prepared. To finish off we had coconut juice, which just topped off the whole day.
