Rotorua Walking Tours was an idea that manifested out of my (Burnadette Payne) travel abroad and many walking tours, combined with wanting to offer opportunities for students to be involved with the Tourism Business during their studies. Recently expanding an existing training school for young people into Tourism, I was determined that we provide practical experiences for trainees. Working in second chance learning is valuable to students so that they can be involved in practical work in a real and well-managed business. And so, Rotorua Walking Tours was born.
