Adventurous Maori Village Tours
The Maori culture has been a part of New Zealand since before the 1300s, when the Polynesian people started to arrive in New Zealand in waves. They soon settled in across the New Zealand landscape, but started to decline in numbers during the eighteenth century, when Europeans started to invade the land. Fortunately they were not driven to extinction and their population started to grow again during the 1960’s. It was the uniqueness of the Maori culture, traditions and their longstanding relationship with the country that inspired brothers Doug and Mike Tamaki to create a magnificent attraction called the Maori Village Tours.

Germany’s Fairy Tale Road
A tour of the Fairy Tale Road in Germany is like taking a trip in a time-machine into the past, to a time when the Brothers Grimm traveled these beautiful country roads from one picturesque village to the next, collecting stories and folk tales from the local inhabitants. The route meanders over a distance of more than 600 kilometers from the southern town of Hanau through to Bremen in the north, passing by places where these two legendary brothers lived, worked and drew their inspiration from.

Fiesta de Cuasimodo in Chile
The Fiesta de Cuasimodo, which is held in Chile, has absolutely nothing to do with a hunchback in a bell tower or a beautiful gypsy girl being rescued from her circumstances. The name of the festival might be a little deceiving, but it is a religious festival in Chile that is held annually on the first Sunday after Easter Sunday. It has its roots deeply imbedded in the colorful history of Chile, and even though it originates from a once needed service performed to aid the church, it slowly evolved to become a part of tradition and culture.
