Papeete Private Tour
Tour Details
At the designated time, we'll meet at the Tahiti Tourism tourist office in Papeete to begin our private walking tour of Papeete. Ready to discover the capital city of French Polynesia? Let's go!
First, we'll head to Bougainville Park, where we'll dive into the fascinating history of Tahiti while strolling along this lovely park. Have you heard of Captain Bougainville? This captain and other explorers and missionaries played a crucial role in the island's past. We'll share the stories of these adventurers who were the first to step foot on Tahitian land.
Then, we'll go to the Assembly of French Polynesia. At this important site, we'll explain the historical and contemporary dynamics in the Tahitian political system across different periods. You'll learn the complexities of the power dynamics that have shaped Tahiti's political landscape.
Afterward, we'll head toward the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Papeete to learn about the history of Tahiti's religion. As you explore this building, we'll explain how religion in Tahiti has evolved over time.
Next, we'll set off to the vibrant Papeete Market, the municipal market in the city. With a flower market, stands dedicated to artisanal crafts, and food stands, you'll love exploring this lively market. Here, you'll find fresh fish, fruit, and vegetables, along with handicrafts such as hats, handbags, textiles, and shell necklaces. It's the perfect place to buy a souvenir to take home!
Our last stop will be at the majestic Mairie de Papeete, Papeete's town hall. Located in the heart of the city, this historic building blends Tahitian and French influences in its architecture. You'll admire its facade, central clock tower, and intricate windows.
Finally, we'll return to our initial starting point, concluding this 2-hour private tour of Papeete.
