The highlight of our short North Island Trip! highly recommended to anyone visiting New Zealand with limited time & or not keen on driving yourself to Rotorua. The guide/driver was very attentive & accomodating. We never felt rushed during the tour even though we were on time limit. I tried the lamb pie that the guide recommended and it turns out to be the best pie I’ve had in NZ!

Tour guide Christ is quite enthusiastic and dedicated. Picked up at the pick up point on time. The program takes about 12 hours. Suitable for those who do not have much time in the North Island and want to visit the main attractions in the North Island

The views are amazing at the Hobbiton Movie Set. It is a magical experience for Middle-earth fans & film enthusiasts. The Te Puia Māori Arts & Cultural Institute is an iconic centre that showcases the rich heritage and traditions of New Zealand's indigenous people. Both places are a must-go for visitors of North Island.

It was a long day but we definitely had a great time. To be honest, we were not big fans of the film but turns out to be an epic experience for our family. We had a great time in Rotorua and Te Puia as well. Our driver, Warren, very friendly and informative. He kept everyone entertained during the entire tour.

The photos and videos wont be able to show how lovely this place is, it’s few hours drive from Auckland but worth the time and money

The night before, we received a confirmation letter confirming the meeting time and location for the next day. We departed from Auckland at 6:20 in the morning. There were four group members in a Mercedes-Benz eight-seater car. The car was very comfortable. The tour guide was very kind and considerate and explained many towns along the way. The history, the landscape along the road, the geography and history of New Zealand, the whole trip to Green City gained a lot. The itinerary is very smooth and you don't feel rushed. I highly recommend participating.

The guide Warren was very humorous and friendly. He took care of everyone along the way and gave us a wonderful travel experience! The weather was very good on the day of the tour, and I took many good photos. I even saw the cute kiwi up close at the Kiwi Pavilion in the Rotorua area! Really happy!

Thank you so much, Raymond, for driving us and making our tour so enjoyable. You shared so many fascinating insights about Hobbiton and Rotorua, which we truly appreciated. As The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings fans, we absolutely loved the Hobbiton experience. Don’t forget to try their danish! Their pastries were really good. Our visit to Rotorua was also unforgettable, we learned so much about Kiwi birds and the geysers. This tour is definitely worth every penny. If you’re looking for a well-organized, informative, and memorable experience, this is it! Thank you again, Raymond, for your kindness and for making this fun-filled day extra special. We had a wonderful time and truly appreciate your assistance. We’ll be sure to visit again soon!
