Noumea - Tour review

We had been to Noumea before on two previous cruises and had been on the Tchou Tchou Train excursion.
This time we booked the Noumea Sightseeing and Aquarium tour.
It went for 2 hours so not a problem for Michael's (9 year old) short attention span.
The first part of the tour was tour of the city in a lovely bus. The guide covered information about the architecture and history of the city and New Caledonia in general also. It was interesting to learn more about the French heritage and current French rule of the colony.
Interestingly, they are considering having a referendum to decide about being independent from France as there is a growing independence movement.
We had some stops for photos and then went on to the Aquarium which Michael really enjoyed.
If you have children this is a good tour. I would recommend it highly.
