Reviews
Pickup from the port was timely, and the vehicle was comfortable with a friendly driver. The weather was pleasant, but the tour mainly involved being dropped off at open gardens for a self-guided tour. This was fortunate, as a flood of other tour groups soon arrived, making the boardwalk's half-closed trails slippery. After that, we were taken to a local village for a handicraft sales pitch and a pointless stroll around a common area, with no access to any buildings. The tour ended with a stop at a restaurant next to an oil refinery for a self-paid lunch before heading back to the boat. Overall, it felt like a 20-mile loop that lacked any real engaging content or activities. It was very disappointing and far too expensive for what was offered. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
I had a wonderful time on this tour. Anane was an excellent guide, providing us with plenty of insights into Fiji's history and culture. He was very friendly and kind throughout the experience.
Thank you for the wonderful excursion, Anand. You performed excellently. I highly recommend Anand to anyone wanting to learn more about Fiji.
I had a fantastic experience on this tour. The hot springs were a highlight for me. I also chose to get a full body massage, which was definitely worth it. Anand was a wonderful guide with extensive knowledge of Fijian culture. I highly recommend this tour.
The trip was excellently organized, and everything proceeded without a hitch and on time. Our guide, Bobbie, was outstanding! We truly enjoyed ourselves.
The tour around the Nadi area with Valentine was quite engaging, and our guide Bobby provided a wealth of information and assistance. The highlights were definitely the Sleeping Giant Gardens and the mud bath. It was a wonderful way to explore the area and learn about the local towns and their settings.
We had a great time exploring the Garden of the Sleeping Giant at our leisure. Our outstanding guide and driver, Deo, was very knowledgeable and answered all our inquiries while highlighting various aspects of the area. We appreciated being able to enter the church at Viseisei, which had been closed on our previous visit. The Vuda Marina resort where we enjoyed lunch was lovely, and the food was delicious.
I am a huge fan of orchids, so visiting the Garden of the Sleeping Giant was a thrill for me. I was surprised to learn that it was founded by Raymond Burr. We enjoyed a nice lunch at the marina as well.
The Lautoka tour with Valentine Tours exceeded our expectations. Bobby's extensive knowledge and friendly demeanor stood out as he led us to the Garden of the Sleeping Giant, the original village, and a delightful lunch at the Boat Shed. Our driver Kamahl remained remarkably composed even in heavy traffic. Would we recommend this company? Absolutely!
The driver was both knowledgeable and had a pleasant demeanor, making for a relaxing and photogenic tour.
