    Review of: Hobbiton & Waitomo Caves Small Group Tour from Auckland
    An unforgettable and amazing welcome to New Zealand
    Mani our tour guide was absolutely wonderful, charming, very informative on every part of New Zealand and Māori history, and is a lovely singer. We had no complaints at all and had a great time with his help and guidance. Worth every penny, if you have to choose a company to go to hobbiton with, choose this one, Mani made it a stress-free and unforgettable experience. The coach was comfortable with AC, USB sockets, water and snacks, you weren’t left wanting for anything. Hobbiton was beautiful as were the waitomo caves, and we learnt about everything in-between on the journeys between everything from the local town histories to the import of meat and wool.

    The wine, food, honey and olive oil were amazing.
    I went solo and was made to feel very much a part of the group.

    Awesome trip and guide
    Our tour guide Mani was an excellent tour guide. He cared about the group and our experience, getting everything in. He knows so much about New Zealand, the places we went to, and the Maori people and language. The glowworm caves and geysers were so awesome. The mud pools were cool to see. We even saw a Kiwi bird. It was an awesome tour and I recommend it to anyone who is thinking about doing it.

    Great tour & great guide!!
    We had a wonderful day exploring the island and enjoying great wine. The views and the beaches were great. We were the only two for the tour and when she found out we were bird watchers also, she tailored the tour to include some great wildlife areas. I highly recommend this tour! The ferry ride was also enjoyable too!

    Review of: Auckland Scenic Day Tour Full-Day- 8 HOURS
    Fantastic way to spend a day in Auckland at start of your visit
    This tour picked started from our accomodation at Skycity Hotel at 8:15am. We met Dave the owner Dr if the business who was driving another bus on that day. Dave was very friendly and helpful and suggested my wife change her boots to walking shoes to be more comfortable on some of the days activities. Dave then introduced us to Mike Silver our driver for the day. The day went smoothly and we were able to get a great introduction to the sights of Auckland from popular beaches to amazing houses in prestige suburbs. Walking to the top of Mt Eden to get a 360° view of Auckland and it didn’t cost us a trip up in the Skytower to get an equal view of the city. We then headed off to the west coast to look at amazing surfing beaches before returning to Riverhead Tavern for a magnificent lunch at our own cost. We can’t recommend this tour highly enough if you have a day to fill in in Auckland. We tried to do it at the start of our 2 week visit to NZ but it was booked out. I think that would be a good start for anyone who needs to have a good look around Auckland and get done dining and other tips. Mike our driver was fun, informative and very friendly. He made our trip so enjoyable. My wife wishes there was a map in the bus to see where we visited even though she has access to Google maps just to help her orientate herself during the tour. Just her minor suggestion to consider. A really enjoyable day. Thanks Mike. I’ll take you up a a fishing date if we get back this way 👍🎣🐟

    Review of: Rotorua Day Trip from Auckland with Options -
    Long drive but worth it
    Andy was our tour guide for the day but he felt more like a driver because when we arrived at Te Puia we joined a group which was guided by a local resident and we spent quite a lengthy time with him.
    Despite this Andy was knowledgeable and talkative throughout the long journey to Rotorua.

    It was amazing to see the Geothermal activities and to learn a bit about the Māori culture.
    Although it was a long drive the spacious minivan made it a comfortable journey but because of the long drive, we felt like there wasn’t enough time to explore more of the Geothermal grounds and to possibly see more Māori historical buildings etc.
    The local guide said that we had 3 hours left to roam the area but we had no time as we had to attend the lunch buffet before it closed and make our way back to central Auckland, which we arrived in the evening.

    I suggest to book a overnight accommodation in Rotorua beforehand to make most of this amazing trip.

    Review of: Small-Group Hobbiton Movie Set Tour from Auckland with Lunch
    A glorious adventure!
    The trip down to Hobbiton was an experience in itself. From the bustling metropolis of Central Auckland, you travel south and through glorious green countryside. New Zealand is truly a spectacular country. With Wayne as a tour guide, you will be given the treasure of local knowledge, delivered with humour.
    Hobbiton itself was absolutely delightful, and I would recommend anyone go and see the sights.
    All in all, I would give the entire experience a thousand stars, but alas, I can only provide 5.

    Impressive to see in the flesh.
    Overall really good and most of the stuff was really impressive. Deja was our tour guide and while she did a great job, the script she adheard to was aimed at children so I could have quite happily gone without it, but it didnt detract from the awesomeness of it all.
