Une visite très instructive sur la NZ

Birthplace of a nation est une visite à faire pour quiconque souhaite mieux comprendre le passé colonialiste de la Nouvelle-Zélande et ce qui s'est joué à Russel et Waitangi en 1840. Le musée est extrêmement riche en archives et vidéos de qualité. Le site est magnifiquement entretenu, au coeur de la Bay of Island, et présenté par un très bon guide.

Amazing show

Musée intelligemment organisé. Passionnant. Très bel endroit. Visite guidée agréable mais surtout un énorme coup de coeur pour le spectacle, les chants sont magnifiques et émouvants aux larmes. Bravo!

Excellent tour, à ne surtout pas manquer!

Le ticket comprend l'accès au parc, un tour guidé et un spectacle de 30 mn intéressant et fun. J'ai passé beaucoup de temps en solo après le tour guidé et le spectacle à me promener dans le parc, la maison où le traité a été signé /rédigé et le musée. J'ai adoré cet après-midi historique et la vue depuis le parc sur la baie. Allez-y sans hésiter si l'histoire de cette nation vous intéresse.
