Reviews
The best thing about the tour was the guide who was very friendly and knowledgeable, making it worth every penny.
The hobbiton is a beautiful place and Waitomo wormcave is amazing.
Is a pity that the weather is not on our side. It was raining when we were there, they do provide big umbrellas but you have to check as some were faulty. The buffet was not as good as we thought, also too rush to enjoy. Our driver was friendly and his driving was safe & smooth.
The tour guide is very energetic, he explained along the way, and took us to a secret place - Swingbridge. He answered every question and tried to match our shopping time. It is very recommended, and you can pick up and drop off at the hotel where you are staying, which is very convenient!
The coach is comfortable. The coach guide is sincere and helpful. The journey is amazing...
The guide was kind!! The schedule was well-organized, so there was no time wasted, which was nice. I had a buffet meal at Hobbiton, which wasn't very satisfying, but it was still edible🥲 On the way to Hobbiton, the guide stopped at rest areas so I could fill my stomach here and there!!
The local travel agency is great. The driver and tour guide are very attentive and professional. In addition to picking up and dropping off on time, they also arrange the itinerary very smoothly. Maybe everyone is really destined to meet each other thousands of miles away! On a whim, he treated every tourist on the bus to eat ice cream. It was really the best ice cream I have ever tasted. It was very humane. Thank you to the driver.
Our tour guide Damian made our experience so unforgettable! 10/10 ⭐️He’s very knowledgeable and engaging with telling stories of Auckland’s history, tidbits about Hobbiton, and facts about how the Waitomo caves. We had a group of 6 and it was very intimate where he made sure we were timely, but never rushed us. The 12 hours flew by so quickly. Would definitely recommend Damian and Bush and Beach company for anyone going to New Zealand.
The tour was really recommended and this is English speaking tour, I’m solo traveller and not have any difficulty to get along with this tour, our guide Murray He is really great and have attention to detail he make sure we all safe and sound during the trip he give a sufficient and complete information about this tour
