Nadi: Découvrez l'Âme des Fidji – Culture & Vues Époustouflantes

This tour was a private taxi tour of the area rather than what we envisioned of a large bus of tourists stopping at the sights with commentary. We saw the sights and took photos and the information was what was supplied with the tour booking. Loved the gardens of the sleeping giant and the lookout.

Junior Ali was a great guide and driver. He was able to answer all our questions and nothing was a problem. The tour company kindly let me change my tour date last minute to go with the rest of my family who had booked a day earlier. There was so much to see in the short time and a great way to fill in part of a day (leaving the afternoon to rest!). We were most interested in seeing the Garden of the Sleeping Giant and the local village which was why we picked this tour.

We got a driver instead of a tour guide. He didn’t provide much info on Fiji. He thought we are going to the mud bath, I had to show him the itinerary of the tour. He had to stop by the airport to pickup money for our entree fees. Viseisei village was the highlight of the tour, our guide also the pastor of the village was great. Our driver stopped on the side of the road for us to take photos, and told us it’s Vuda point. We never got to Vuda point marina which is supposed to be one of the stops. The garden of the sleeping giant was nice, good view at the top. Overall very disappointing experience, I don’t recommend this tour unless a guide is quaranteed.

This was a nice way to see Nadi and the Garden of the Sleeping Giant - and do it without the mud bath part. We were looking for something to keep us awake and do something productive after arriving in Nadi at 5:45 am and not being able to check into the hotel until 3 pm. We were picked up in a private van at the hotel at 8 am sharp and we were back to the hotel by noon (we chose to skip going out to lunch and have lunch at the hotel - lunch is not included in the trip cost). We especially loved the fresh food market - make sure you have some small FJ$ bills to get some of the fresh pineapple. The driver took us to a local Fijian wood carving shop where we took part in a Kava ceremony and did some shopping - their carvings were beautiful and there was a great selection with a number of items that are unique to Fiji (like ancient weapons and traditional masks - which they are happy to explain them all). I will make this warning, they offer to carve your items (which is really cool) but PLEASE ask about price BEFORE this happens - we thought the prices were higher than we expected and by then, the carving was done. We did negotiate but still felt that we paid more than we probably should have. Make sure you are in walking shoes if you want to fully enjoy the Garden of the Sleeping Giant - the views from the top are worth the hike! It was a great way to kill a little time and see the area!

The produce market was fantastic. We were lucky to go on a Saturday when there was lots going on. The Garden of the Sleeping Giant was beautiful. The Hindu temple and the Village tour were also interesting. Our guide Sharon explained a lot about Fiji's culture and history and he answered our questions. He was very friendly and professional. This small group tour was really worthwhile.

Absolutely incredible and had an amazing guide called junior Ali couldn’t have hoped for a better day temple village and garden are must see sights

Covered the sites we wanted to experience. Guide was very courteous and gave us time to explore on our own. The village stop was rather lacking in info or time. Gardens and temple and market were great.

The Temple was beautiful, so much workmanship with the murals. Lovely to see how a local village runs and how they live. People are poor but always polite and have a smile on their faces. The Garden of the Sleeping Giant and walk was beautiful but take mozzie repellant.

Too much emphasis on shopping. Did not book the tour to do shopping. Temple, Village, Garden were great thanks.

No tour guide for temple or sleeping giant. Other tours include this. The Village did have tour guide, highlight of trip.
